Yogurt consumption reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases . Hypertension affects about one billion people worldwide. Cardiovascular disease is a condition affecting the heart or blood vessels. High blood pressure is one of the major causes of cardiovascular health problems. Various studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of dairy consumption on cardiovascular health. Higher dairy consumption has beneficial effects on cardiovascular disease-related disorders such as hypertension, type 2   diabetes , and insulin resistance.   Among various dairy products yogurt can independently be related to cardiovascular disease risk. A study was done with more than 1,000 volunteers having high blood pressure to see the effect of long-term yogurt consumption. Yogurt consumption was measured by questionnaires filled out by the volunteers at various intervals over the study period. With the permission to access medical records to confirm all reported new diagn...

Increased risk of cardiovascular death for patients having hypertension before the age of 50 Hypertension is a condition where blood pressure becomes very high and if untreated, it can cause several health conditions like heart disease, stroke, etc. and when a person is diagnosed with hypertension before the age of 50, it can have various important health consequences. According to researchers, diagnosis of hypertension at an earlier age can lead to greater risk of cardiovascular death and can cause genetic susceptibility for the diseases. It is known that hypertension can lead to high risk of developing cardiovascular outcomes when present in either younger or older age. Researchers studied for decades to know the possible relevance of distinguishing between the importance of hypertension that develops earlier in life and that which develops later in life. They collected blood pressure readings of multiple generations. They also tracked which individuals developed...

Fast Food Intake Can Lead To Hypertension and Many More The dangers of fast food are well known. Fast food is generally high in calories and low in nutrients and their intake is often larger. Some studies have also shown that a diet heavy in fast food increases the risk of developing hypertension, Type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease. It is found that the people consuming fast food even once in a week are at risk of dying from coronary heart disease by 25% in comparison to people who avoid fast food. The risk increases by 50% for the people who consume fast food two- three times a week. And the risk increases even more for people consuming fast food more than four times each week. Eating fast food more than two times a week can also increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by 30%. Also for people taking a diet composed of high amounts of fried and processed foods and sweetened beverages are at a greater risk of developing high blood pressure . Fa...

Life-threatening organ damage can be prevented by controlling Blood Pressure in Diabetics Hypertension with diabetes comes with life-threatening complications. The best way to control these complications is to control blood pressure. A study in Clinical and Experimental Hypertension conducted with around 800 diabetic patients and 1000 non-diabetic patients. This study looked at the commonness and risk factors for hypertensive emergencies and drastic increase in blood pressure in diabetic patients. In this study it was found that both diabetics and non-diabetics with hypertensive emergencies had similar rates of severe injury to target organs. It was also observed that diabetics with hypertensive emergency also had significantly higher levels of blood pressure. From this it was concluded that the occurrence of severe damage to vital organs is not because of just diabetes but because of the accompanying severely elevated blood pressure. According to several studies...
