Foods To Avoid While Having High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure is a common health issue that many Americans develop at one time or another. I, having been guilty of this in the not too distant past, put together a list of certain foods that should be avoided even when on medication to control this health condition. Alcohol When you have high blood pressure, alcohol should be avoided. Alcohol raises the blood pressure. Damage to the blood vessel walls can also occur. If possible, it should be avoided at all costs but an occasional drink here and there, on special occasions will be okay. Of course, checking with the doctor first is the best way to go. Salt In many people, salt can raise the blood pressure even higher. In some people, salt doesn’t impact their blood pressure. This can be a problem because scientists and doctors can’t tell when people which have this problem with salt. There are many alternatives to low sodium foods. Fats Saturated fats are extremely bad for the blood vessels and the heart. The circulatory system is currently under a great amount of stress due to the high blood pressure so any extra strain such as fats can be stressful to your body. It’s best to cook with low fat and low sodium foods. Doing this will keep your blood pressure under control. If you currently are dealing with this health condition and you are on medication to maintain your blood pressure, it defeats the purpose to go against not consuming these foods. If you can’t cut these foods out completely, it’s highly advisable to significantly cut down your consumption of...

Here are some tips on better sleep for both your physical well being and mental health. 1. Keep a Regular Sleeping Schedule- You want to keep a regular bedtime as well as waking time. Our brain’s circadian clock helps to regulate our sleeping and waking cycle. Having a certain time that you wake up in the morning and maintaining that same wake up time each morning is important to assist with sleep onset at night. 2. Create A Soothing Bedtime Routine- Be sure that you choose a routine that is relaxing. This can be things like a warm bath or reading a book. You can even choose to listen to soothing music. You want to avoid stressful or arousing activities like playing competitive games, working or problem solving. 3. Find A Comfortable Mattress- Be sure that your mattress is not only comfortable but supports your body as well. If you have a mattress that is more than ten years old, you may want to think about replacing it. You want pillows that are allergen free. 4. Watch What You Eat Before Bed- You should not eating three hours prior to going to bed. This allows time for your food to properly digest. You should avoid foods that may cause heartburn such as spicy foods. 5. Avoid Caffeine- Caffeine is a stimulant that will keep you awake.
