Well things are never that simple but when
you stop to think about how our lives are
made up, what we do, we actually try and
force more into our everyday lives than is
actually necessary. Such is life. That
having been said, what exactly are these
factors that have such an effect on our
every day lives and our health?
They include some of the following:
* The way we cope with the stress of
modern day living. How do you react when you
have waited for five minutes in the
Supermarket checkout queue only to be told
it is closing!
* Our social and emotional life. Is life
just one constant round of running after one
event after another whether this is chasing
the family from one event or another or just
racing around from one school or college to
another?
* Our home and family life. Is it happy
or stressed? Do you or your partner get on?
Linked of course to this is one of the less
talked about but funnily enough one of the
more keenly queried side effects of high
blood pressure and that is impotence. Joking
apart has your life style and your high
blood pressure affected your sex life. As
the eagles famously sang in their hit "life
in the fast lane" - "she was too tired to
fake it, he was too tired to make
it......life in the fast lane"
* Our Personality type. Back to the old
"do you threaten to rip the heads of parking
wardens when you get a ticket?"
* Our exercise habits. How much of a
couch potato are you? Is your only exercise
in life either walking from the car to the
front door or reaching for the TV remote?
* Our weight. Do you have the ability to
say no when offered that fourth portion of
food?
* The ability to relax. Can you relax?
Are you the type that can only relax after
the fourth whisky or Gin?
* Our sleep patterns. Again can you? Lack
of sleep is one of the major causes of
disharmony in life today and most of us
operate the sort of sleep deficit that would
give most of us well.......heart failure.
* Vitamin and Mineral intake. Is your
only mineral intake a Coke mid morning or
last thing at night? Have you ever
considered what might actually make up the
food we eat?
* The tendency for use and misuse of
additive substances such as Alcohol and
Tobacco, Caffeine, and Drugs. Yes non of us
do drugs anymore, we are all
clean.......woops....there goes the
neighbourhood under the weight of the
bottles and packets as the Community Refuse
truck drives down the road!
When you actually consider only a
fraction of the above is it any wonder why
not only is their a large proportion of us
who suffer from High Blood Pressure (he says
downing another coffee) but there is an even
larger number of folks out there who suffer
from High Blood Pressure and don't even know
it yet!
Make a few changes to your lifestyle
habits above and you will see slowly but
surely changes to your health and welfare.
Not overnight and maybe not enough to remove
the need for some form of medication or drug
therapy but enough that may give your Health
Practitioner or Doctor the hope that you may
be on the way to beating this condition or
at least managing it responsibly.
