Fried Eggs, Blood Pressure and Cholesterol - A Healthy Lifestyle?
Fry Your Eggs and Keep Your Blood Pressure Down: A study by the University of Alberta in Canada has found frying your eggs could actually be the healthy option. Scientists believe that when eggs are friend, the intense heat of the pan causes more ACE inhibitory peptides to be released into the body. The ACE (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme) inhibitory peptides work by dilating the blood vessels, which lowers your blood pressure and ultimately lowering the risk of you suffering heart disease. The bottom line is to Get your blood pressure checked regularly. ACE inhibitors (Inhibitors of Angiotensin-Converting Enzymes) are also used for treating patients suffering from hypertension, often being chosen pharmaceuticals for the treatment.
Can Strength Training Help Men Lower Cholesterol and do you really need supplements to reduce it further? A recent study has reported that strength training helps men lower their cholesterol levels, without the need for supplementation with protein. The report by Dr. Carol A. DeNysschen, published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports, studied twenty eight men who had elevated levels of cholesterol. Groups were tested randomly.
The men were randomly split into three groups and performed strength training three days a week for 12 weeks. The three groups of men were given different 'supplements'; one group a soy based, one a whey based supplement and the other group was given a placebo. The conclusion of the study was that men in all three groups had gained strength, lost fat and showed reductions in cholesterol levels. It also indicated that supplementation along with the strength training, actually made no real difference to body fat percentage or the cholesterol levels of the men. However Dr. DeNysschen did suggest that further studies needed to be carried out on soy based protein supplements to see if men who were at risk of heart disease would benefit from this type, more than whey supplementation because they could be healthier for the heart.
High Blood Pressure - 4 Main Hypertension Causes
Several factors influence hypertension, however it must be fully understood that these factors change from person to person. Some people inherit high blood pressure genetically whereas others develop it from an unhealthy diet and weight gain. These hypertension causes are important to understand how they apply to each patient concerned about their blood pressure. Here are 6 main causes of hypertension found amongst most sufferers of the disease.
o Obesity. Chronic weight gain increases the chance of developing high blood pressure by 500%. A massive 2/3 of the cases of hypertension can be attributed to obesity. It is a serious health issue that is plaguing the developed countries of the world.
o Sodium Sensitivity. Sodium can increase the amount your cells release water inside your blood. This will increase blood pressure as your blood gets "thicker" or "heavier" in a sense.
o Genetics. In 30% of cases the patient has inherited the disease through their genes. This does NOT mean that the patient is untreatable, they can still practice long term lifestyle changes to combat the disease even if there are of normal health and weight.
o Drugs. Specific medications such as different forms of hormone enhancers and some anti-inflammatory drugs can play a large contribution to high blood pressure. It is up to the patient to seek medical advice concerning their drug therapy but some studies are debatable and results limited. However what I always advise people; is to stay away from using drugs if possible. Because you don't 100% know the side affects that the specific drug will have on your body, thus to play it safe always try to seek out a more natural alternative.
So these hypertension causes are to be taken into account when planning your blood pressure management. Each cause is preventable and if you feel like you have tried everything don't give up. There are numerous alternatives to just medicinal drugs, the easiest alternative is to be as healthy as you can be, being the right weight and eating healthy plus exercise is the first step to healthy blood pressure levels.
