Hypertension or high blood pressure is the measurement of force versus arteries. Here are the information about common signs and symptoms of high blood pressure.

Ordinarily people ignore high blood pressure. Even those who take medicine, just take anti hypertensive medicine for short time. Studies have established that 90% of high blood pressure patients show non compliance with their medication. If you will not control your blood pressure it may lead to serious problems with your Heart, Kidneys, Brain and Eyes. If you want to save these vital organs , then you will have to control your blood pressure with in limits. Continue reading →

Fantastic things occur below the skin in the heat of the sweat bath. The capillaries expand allowing increased flow of blood to the skin in an attempt to pull in heat from the surface and diffuse it inside the body. The bather’s skin becomes cherry red.

The heart is pressed into a faster tempo to keep up with the extra requires for blood. Impurities in the liver, kidneys, stomach, muscles, brain, and most other organs are flushed out by the faster flow of juices. The skin and kidneys filter the wastes, excreting them in sweat and urine. Continue reading →

A heart attack is called a myocardial infarction. This comes as the heart muscle is damaged or does not take in plenty oxygen. A lot of cardiac related problems happen due to blockages in arteries that carry purified blood away from the heart to different parts of the body. Another cause is the formation of blood clots.

One and the same, it is quite hard to differentiate between a heart attack and heartburn. The common signs of heart attack are a tightness, pain, or discomfort in the chest. Sweating, nausea, and vomiting that are followed by intense pressure in the chest. Continue reading →

It is well known that about two-thirds of the U.S. population is either overweight or obese. The U.S. Surgeon General has stated that approximately 75% of Western diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, gout, arthritis, excess weight gain, hypertension, diabetes, some cancers, impotence, biventricular disease, constipation, heartburn, and gallbladder disease, are “lifestyle-related.” They are directly correlated with our high fat diet, inadequate amounts of exercise, smoking, high intake of caffeine, and high amounts of stress coupled with insufficient support.

Hoping to address this alarming situation, more than 20 years ago, cardiovascular epidemiologist Hans A. Diehl, DrHSc, MPH, created the Coronary Health Improvement Project (CHIP). Since then, this 40-hour community-based lifestyle intervention program has helped more than 40,000 people rediscover their health by preventing, arresting and reversing their diseases. It has been conducted in more than 150 North American cities as well as in Bangalore, India, Australia and Switzerland. Depending upon the needs of the group, the meetings are held either “live” with Dr. Diehl delivering the program personally (usually meeting four times per week for four weeks) or as a “video-based” program with certified CHIP facilitators (normally two times per week for eight weeks). In addition, Dr. Diehl is a best-selling author – To Your Health, Dynamic Living, and Health Power (co-authored with Aileen Ludington, M.D.) — as well as the executive editor of a 24-page quarterly Lifeline Health Letter; he has produced scores of health videos. CHIP empowers people through its scientifically-documented, educational and inspirational program that addresses common western diseases — those that used to be seen primarily later in life.

Today, these diseases increasingly appear at far younger ages. CHIP may make all the difference in one’s life — even the difference between life and death. Continue reading →
