Exposure to higher levels of air pollution during pregnancy leads to high risk of elevated blood pressure in children It is well known that air pollution has very harmful effects on our health. It leads to headaches, nausea, allergic reactions and many more problems. Air pollution is caused by various factors but form of air pollution produced by motor vehicles and the burning of oil, coal and biomass which produces fine particulate matter of 2.5 microns or less is more responsible for affecting human health by entering the circulatory system. It is found that the direct exposure to these fine air pollutants leads to high blood pressure in both children and adults and it can also lead to premature death. According to several studies it was found that breathing the polluted air during pregnancy can have a direct effect on the cardiovascular health of the baby. Having high blood pressure in childhood would lead to high blood pressure in adulthood and hypertension wil...

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...

Reduce Hypertension With The Combination Of Coconut Oil and Exercise Coconut oil also classified as a "super food" is very useful in hypertension . Its fatty acid combination is quite unique and hence can have a very positive effects on our health including better brain function, fat loss etc. Also we know that exercise plays a major role in controlling hypertension. So, researchers tested the effect of combination of both exercise training and daily coconut oil intake. Their research was based on whether the combination of coconut oil and exercise would restore baroreflex sensitivity and helps to reduce oxidative stress eventually reducing blood pressure or not. For their research they used spontaneously hypertensive rats. The experiment was conducted taking four groups of rats. One group was given saline and were not exposed to the exercise training protocol, second group was given coconut oil, third group was exposed to the exercise training and fourth group...

IVF Children More Prone To Arterial Hypertension Studies showed increased risk of developing arterial hypertension for Children conceived through assisted reproductive technologies along with other cardiovascular complications. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are a boon to millions and helped individuals and families who cannot conceive naturally. Among various ART methods the most common are in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection. In these methods the gamete and embryo are exposed to a variety of environmental factors before implantation. Currently over six million children are conceived using ART worldwide. A study was done with around 50 healthy ART adolescents to access the circulatory system. Their ambulatory blood pressure, artery stiffness, plaque build-up and blood vessel function were measured. 45 age- and sex-matched control participants of similar body mass index, gestational age and maternal BMI, birth weight, smoking st...
