Regularly checking your blood pressure may not be enough to find and prevent problems brought on by high blood pressure, say researchers out of Japan recently.
Strangely, getting the timing wrong could be deadly, the study shows.
Recently, scientists at Jichi Medical University in Japan discovered that missing a critical blood pressure reading may spell trouble, and it all has to do with the timing of the readings.
Many people who are managing their blood pressure, or trying to get their higher readings down, know that it’s important to check it regularly.
Scientists have said for years that the best time to check is in the morning because the resting readings are the most accurate.
But that’s not the only reason, according to the scientists from Jichi Medical University in Japan.
In their study, they found that for the population of participants whose blood pressure tended to be higher in the morning than at other times of day, NOT finding the high blood pressure problem for this group proved to be deadly.
Those people were at a dramatically higher risk of stroke and heart attack than their counterparts whose blood pressure was high all day.
There wasn’t a difference in risk factor for those whose blood pressure was higher in the evenings. It is the morning spike that was the stand-out factor.
Checking blood pressure at the same time every day is best, and especially if you can do it morning, noon, and before bed. Then, once you have consistent readings and a solid management plan, go to morning-only readings.
Well that is just great if all you rich fookers can just stand by it!
Most at times my best readings falls in the evenings. I don't want to be on medication. What kind of food or things should i be doing to bring my blood pressure low.
What are some the food I can eat to lower my blood pressure
I have heard that Olive Leaf caplets can help lower blood pressure. You can order it from Amazon.
Celery sticks,coconut water and sunflower seeds brought my pressure down 62 points in four months time. Oh sure it tasted bland,but not at all bad because these are convenience foods and are inexpensive as well as natural too. The problem with us humans is the fact that we want everything to taste good. Shy away from that and you’ll be reducing your numbers incredibly and you’ll probably start eating healthier because you’ve gotten used to it.
Good advice; I will try to do the same.
Irene Pagan: How much of each of those items did you consume each day?
Hello,Della! Nice to know someone read my post. In answer to your question,i was ingesting 2 celery sticks a day;but not necessarily all at one sitting,sweety. And between 8 and 12 ounces of coconut water daily also. But dell,be careful with coconut water’s that have more than 20g of sugar. Remember i told you about tastes? Try to hold off on your eating pleasurable foods,for at least 4 months. Can you do that,sweety? Ofcourse you can. And good luck to you,Della. …Sometimes we just have to be believing for something in order to bring it to frution. That helped me alot too. PS Let me know,in a few months time,if this helped you. That is if you want to try it. It’s up to you because not all things have the same effect on everyone because we’re all different inside. 😉
Blueberries.
So what are "rich fookers"?
My blood pressure is fine when I'm at home but when I have to go to the Dr. it sky rocket…….
I am diabetic and serendipity I found that when my bp is high so is my sugar, and sometimes I am low on potassium.
Dr. John Bergman is an expert on health and a corrective chiropractor. Type in Johnbchiro into youtube and the health condition you want him to talk about such as high blood pressure. He has a great deal of information on how to get well without drugs and their bad side effects.
