Most people are ready to go to great lengths to tackle blood pressure and other health problems. We take supplements, exercises, eat healthily and monitor everything closely.
A new study from Harvard Medical School promotes a slightly different approach, though. And this approach actually requires absolutely no effort. But the effects on your blood pressure are amazing.
The results of a recent study don’t just address getting quality sleep, they tell you when you should be going to bed.
The study looked at men and women of middle age and found that going to bed just one hour earlier than you are used to can drop your blood pressure by as much as 5 mm/Hg (systolic) in just one week.
For people who are pre-hypertensive, or have blood pressure readings routinely at 130/85 to 135/90, this might be just enough to dodge the blood pressure medication bullet.
Add healthier lifestyle changes, like getting more vitamin D, and you could do more than dodge the medicine…

If the person in the picture you posted with this article would lose the gut he could drop his blood pressure another 10-20 points. When taking and considering high blood pressure measurements you have to look at the whole picture. For example my blood pressure at home is 125/76-130/76 give or take 3 or 4 points at different takings. However when I am out it runs a lot higher 145/86–165/90. When I go to the dentist or doctor or if under stress it is even higher. However i spend 90% of my time at home where it remains safe. I also have good colesterol 150 and a great heart rate at 65 beats per minute. A person who has high colesterol and a heart rate of over 80 beats per minute even though their pressure may be 140/80 they are in more danger than one who has good colesterol and low heart rate and a blood pressure average of 155/86. The reason is it is the pressure on the colesterol and the fast beating heart that tears of the arteries and maakes mater worse. Doctors need to look at the whole picture .
Can you please help me interpret the way you measure/rate cholesterol in the USA, as often read articles with measures like the above at 150.
In Australia, my cholesterol level has been regarded as dangerously high at 7.8 and satisfactory at 4.0.
What are the two different cholesterol measures/ratings and what factor should I use to convert USA ones to those used in Australia so I can gain understanding.
Thanks.
