Hypertension, most commonly referred to as "high blood pressure", HTN or HPN, is a medical condition in which the blood pressure is chronically elevated. It was previously referred to as arterial hypertension, but in current usage, the word "hypertension" without a qualifier normally refers to arterial hypertension.

Health, Vitality, and Courage

During the dark years that followed my diving accident, I do not with my healthy eating habits. This difference is partly due to my limited control over my diet when I lived in a hospital or a group home. It was also reduced because of my health awareness. Largely disgusted with life, I was proportional hedonistic and suicidal. I sought solace in taste joy at the risk of undermining my health. To be exact, I often overindulged my preference for fat and tasty food or sa, with the result that I had won my weight and edge - this is a part of my vitality. This loss was ominous. It took an abundance of vitality to accept and to overcome the difficulties in achieving happiness. The more I was so exhausted and weak, the more likely I was to be discouraged by this difficulty.

Devitalization was the worst form of impoverishment. In a state of weakness, it was tempting to deny that happiness was possible, or worth the effort, and choose the easy option: laziness and neglect, or death. I have never been in this morbid temptation, but in my ebermaiger fat and tasty foods or those caused sae vitality to reduce my and my depression worse, making my hedonistic and suicidal tendencies. I was in a vicious circle, or rather a downward spiral, which hell.

Fortunately before it was too late, I was disgusted with my way of life as life itself. I was less a victim of circumstances as a buffoon who has his own misery, because of its negative attitude and self-destructive behavior. I started my journey to climb health.

Health wisdom and is the basis for any human power, even if it is bad, in this case, it is much less vitality and longevity, as if it is good. I pledged to do everything possible to maximize my healthy potential to live and love.

In fact, health is not only a question of the vitality and longevity, it is also a question of common sense. A sound mind is a complement to a healthy body. It also depends on the other side. This dependence had dawned on me with blinding clarity, a few months, after I said in my apartment and improving my diet. Until then, I had studied a lot of health books. They had helped define me and my diet much more wisely.

My body needs a balanced and moderate amount of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals and vitamins to function well. Appropriate, foods with these nutrients had to be properly chewed to the digestion and absorption (this did not apply to glass fiber: a kind of carbohydrates, the body does not digest can still absorb). Proper chewing reduced food, mush and proportional increases the effect of digestive juices on them or the availability of nutrients, which are ready for absorption. I thoroughly by this simple task, in the middle of the life.

To begin with, carbohydrates are simple or complex carbs, which I usually from fruit, honey, milk products, turnips, rutabagas, potatoes, legumes (beans, peas and lentils), nuts, seeds, whole grains, and the bread, cereals, pasta or grains from these. Simple sugars and digestible complex sugars serve as an energy source and to the synthesis of DNA and RNA molecules: the genetic information in the genetic messenger substances that enable the body to regenerate and reproduce. Unverdaulich complex sugar, better known as fibre, are in a position to promote the disposal of waste through the intestines. Refined foods are exhausted from this fiber, without the constipation is a predictable result that bodes ill. Except for festive occasions, I resolutely avoided them.

Lipids includes two sub-units: saturated, polyunsaturated fats, or simply (with phosphoric acid component in some of them - ie, phospholipids and triglycerides, compared to pure fats) and cholesterol, which is a singular Fatty Compound. How easily digestible sugars and complex carbs, fats and saturated fats simply serve as an energy source. In addition, they contribute to the integrity of the body tissue. Polyunsaturated fats and cholesterol also contribute to the integrity and will be for a variety of important functions, the heart and circulatory, digestive, endocrine and immune system systems.

A specificity of polyunsaturated fats is their instability. In heat, light, air or, as in the processing, intensive cooking, or extended everyday use, they may suffer damage and harmful. Given this fact, I was careful to eat the food that they are - for example, nuts and seeds, and the oil - either in their natural (unprocessed and, if possible, raw) and fresh (intact). When cooking was necessary, as in the case of fish or tofu, which is one of these foods, I re-cruise or for baking and frying and preferred shares proceed with caution, while avoiding sins undercooking. I have the same basic principles to the food that is simple unsaturated fatty acids, such as peanuts, almonds, olives, avocado, and the oil extracted from each of them, when these fats are less volatile than their counterparts polyunsaturated. As with cholesterol, found only in animal products and saturated fats, found mainly in animal products, land, they have a reputation for causing arterial blockage and organ dysfunction when consumed without restraint. I limited my intake of them after a largely vegetarian diet, where animal meat was the exception, not the rule. Actually, I had in my restraint exercised consumption of polyunsaturated fats fats how easy and good. The opposite, as any lack of Maigung, is a health hazard.

Now for proteins. There are different macromolecules consisting of a large number of amino acids (nitrogen molecules, which in twenty-two different forms). During digestion, these macromolecules are broken down into these molecular components, which then act as a raw material or components for the production of new molecules or new macromolecules (polypeptides that are smaller than proteins or proteins), which for our physiological needs in many areas: the metabolism, blood, mucous membranes, skin and tendons, muscles and the endocrine, immune and nervous system. These molecular components to act when the body has enough carbohydrates and fats in the energy requirements. Otherwise, they are part of their nitrogen mobilized and in meeting these requirements. This is a waste of valuable amino acids and a burden on the kidneys, with the removal of nitrogen-free after part of the liver has been in urea. As it happened, my main protein sources - namely, legumes, nuts, whole grains, and the bread, cereals, pasta or grains from these, along with dairy products and eggs - were also rich in carbohydrates and fats. Here are the fats, or simply counted were saturated, while the polyunsaturated were not for a reasonable means to satisfy my energy requirements, which many other important roles they played.

Lastly, minerals and vitamins are a group of about thirty substances, the carbohydrates , lipids and proteins. -- A deficiency, and one of them may hamper physical function and thus jeopardize the health of a person. Together, as a precursor or components of useful agent, or even as useful agents who support them, and many processes: vision, nerve impulses and neurotransmission, muscle contraction, digestion and absorption, the regulation of blood sugar and the metabolic rate, respiration, energy production, regeneration and reproduction, education and maintenance of bones and teeth, blood clotting, protection against free radicals (harmful atoms or molecules), and immunity. My usual sources of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins already me with minerals and vitamins, all the more so because they were unqualified. Refining is a terrible refinement decimated that fibers and nutrients in foods. However, to ensure that I have enough minerals and vitamins, I rounded off the usual sources with additional vegetables: carrots, radishes, cauliflower, red cabbage, green vegetables, green or non-green, garlic and onion. I drank a lot of water to boot, though not during or immediately after a meal, so I do with my digestion by floods my stomach. Drinking water usually contains a lot of minerals minutes. Much more importantly, he has the ability to replenish the body fluids and cleanse the system of unwanted substances.

The best thing about my diet has improved, that in a few months, my state of mind had a turn for the better in a big way. Never before had I thought so clearly and felt so enterprising. I was full of vitality and soon in the middle of writing my book on the "efficiency of vital importance." It appeared, I was much more able to rationalise and formulate the challenge of leading a fulfilling life, because I have a lot more lively. My energy rose dramatically. I did three hours of sleep, rest two more hours, and go about my business for the rest of nineteen hours. In conjunction with this occasion, my morale was unusually high. Factors alone can not account for this increase. My relationship with my girlfriend (the extremely kind and gentle, and quite nicely nurse) was in the doldrums and on the verge of dismissal. My new apartment, on the other hand, was a significant improvement, but what changed for the better in the few months in the issue was primarily the state of my body, the impact on my state of mind. I was with vibrant health, although I still problems, the bubble is experiencing somewhat weakened me occasionally. The health sector was both physical and mental. I had a strong and joyful sense kept me going, and especially the efforts to writing.

In healthy, proper nutrition is not everything. Fresh air and regelmaige physical exercise should be considered as part of these efforts. There are two types of perception, both require stretching before and after, in warmup and cooldown times to avoid injuries.

The first type of anaerobic exercise is not dependent on the supply of oxygen. An example of the anaerobic exercise is weight lifting. Done often in strong workouts, it strengthens the muscles and bones. The second and most positive kind of exercise is aerobic, depending on the supply of oxygen. An example of aerobic exercise is jogging. Done every day or a few times a week, for at least fifteen minutes (enough to significantly and sustainably increase the activity of the respiratory and cardiovascular system, responsible for the delivery of oxygen to the body tissues), it is clear many health benefits. In addition to the strengthening of the muscles and bones, it raises stamina, improves the handling of stress, promotes good mood, boosts immune function, reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke, and helps in the prevention of obesity in connection with diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure, often associated with this condition. In a nutshell, fresh air and regelmaige physical exercise are important aspects of a healthy lifestyle. They result in someone stronger, feel better, and probably live longer.
