Menopausal Women and Hypertension

 

 

 

 

Everywhere you look celebrities are participating and wanting to campaign about diseases that are affecting our communities and African Americans.  Yolanda Adams, will be in Atlanta this weekend to kick off her campaign against hypertension.  The name of the organization “Believe in Healthy BP”, is a community outreach program to help raise the awareness of having healthy blood pressure.  It is estimated in and article from Dr. Mercola, that 90% of Americans are affected with high blood pressure.

We have and article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper today which tell us about Yolanda Adams involvement with this organization.  Please see the link and read it. http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/yolanda-adams-brings-hypertension-571872.html.  Here is the link for the “Believe in Healthy BP” campaign. http://www.believeinhealthybp.com/index.jsp

Hypertension poses a significant danger for menopausal and post-menopausal women.  The research and study is still not certain, why African Americans are at a greater risk for high blood pressure than any other populations. We tend to be at a greater risk African American women than Caucasian. 

Here are some things that can assist with hypertension:

1.      Being physically active

2.      Eating a healthy diet

3.      Lifestyle changes

4.      Reduce stress

5.      Get the proper rest you need

6.      Eliminate or reduce your salt intake

Personally have suffered with high blood pressure over the years and was on medicine for a very brief time.  When I understood what was causing the problem and researched information showing that by losing weight, exercising, and eating properly I could eventually rid myself of taking medication.  This is the way I choose to go and as of today still treating it with natural product supplements, exercise, and a proper diet.

Nature’s Sunshine has an excellent blend of essential and natural ingredients that can help lower body and maintain  proper blood pressure levels.

Important: Always consult your family health practitioner before starting, changing or altering your personal health regimen
