One of the silent illnesses that you don’t see on the outside but which is all the same, chronic and life threatening, is high blood pressure
As the name implies, the chronic illness, hypertension is simply having a blood pressure higher than usual. When it is lower than usual, we call it hypotension. But this is not as common.
Stress related hyper-tension
In this fast paced, career-demanding world, who is not under stress? I bet everyone is! But have you ever considered that this can lead to hypertension? I have news for you – both good and bad. But I will start with the bad news.
The bad news
In our modern society, because of our lifestyles, demanding work schedules and the economic pressure, we all stand the risk of having a high blood pressure.
If you think you are not a target for hypertension, you are deceiving yourself. In fact, as long as there is an amount of pressure or stress on you, there is every chance that you can develop this life-threatening illness. If you have been ‘overwhelmed’, ‘anxious’, ‘irritable’, ‘depressed’, ‘burned out’, ‘on the verge of losing it’ before, then you know what stress is about. It is this condition of stress which can lead to increased hypertension risk. Even more unfortunate for those who have high blood pressure, the stress levels make their situation worse.
But do you know how these stress levels come about? You know them:
- Traffic jams, workload, financial pressures, strained relations
- Rejection, negative or pessimistic thinking, etc.
These are the usual causes of stress. Who doesn’t go through these these days?
The good news
Now the good news is that there are ways to manage these stress levels. Doing this will help us reduce our risk of hypertension. If your blood pressure is high, then you need to critically follow these suggestions too
Managing Stres, Preventing Illness
- Actively participate in your own healing and health management
- Learn To Meditate and do it at odd moments in the day
- Talk to a friend or close relative regularly – when you have a problem and when you don’t.
- Talk to yourself positively – constantly
- Set and develop realistic goals and expectations for yourself – so that you don’t feel you are under achieving.
- Organize and plan your days – so that you don’t get disorganized and overwhelmed
- Take regular breaks from busy schedules – it helps to release stress
- Eat well balanced and nutritious diets
- Learn to say NO (politely but firmly) to things you cannot do.
- Get a regular hobby – play is as important as work!
- Laugh more often – it’s a medicine
- Learn to exercise regularly and get plenty of rest
If you are looking for natural hypertension remedies – for yourself or to help someone else – you will need to consider the suggestions above seriously. They will help you. Drugs will not do and no amount of therapy programs will be of any use if you forgo the suggestions above.
The main problem has always been the discipline to follow through. If you think this is hard and a waste of time, consider the other side – stressing yourself out and ultimately having to deal with hypertension.
If you are also hypertensive, then you need to practice these suggestions too. You may not see results immediately – as it is with any natural remedy – but you will find out that in the long term, you will live longer and will be able to add 10 or 15 more years to your life.
