We all know the attributes of an apple, but can we keep the doctor away by just consuming one everyday? Or do we need a bigger portion of fruits on daily basis in order to stay healthy?
The FDA or Food and Drug Administration recommend 4 to 6 portions of fruits a day. Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamin, mineral, f... Read more

It's a sad statistic - depending on the study, anywhere from a quarter to one-half of all Americans today are overweight. It's not just the adults - almost 14% of all children carry more weight than they should, a sharp increase from barely 5% only a few decades ago.
The main factor for this is that exercising is being done less and less by the average american, experts say. And as household income increases, so does the consumption of unhealthy foods. And while schools are doing their share in combating this problem by requiring students to take up Physical Education or JROTC, the growing number of obese children proves that we need to do more. We all know that being overweight is directly correlated to hypertension. The heart tends to work harder when the body is carrying more weight than it should. this makes it grow larger, then weaker as time goes by. Arteries will also have the tendency to harden, obstructing the flow of blood around the body. Hypertension is marked by a blood pressure reading of over 120/80 mm Hg. Individuals who suffer from hypertension are at increased risks of heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, dementia, blindness, and impotence. Studies indicate that overweight individuals are three times more likely to suffer from high blood pressure than those who are healthy. Conventional hypertension treatments, such as medical therapies to suggestions on how to exercise and eat healthier, are a dime a dozen. But as I've mentioned in a previous post, no one really makes use of these treatments. Many are discouraged at the price of some of these treatments, while others are disliking the side effects. You can then say that they can exercise to reduce weight right? We all know that the most common reply would be, "I'm too lazy", or "I don't have time to exercise", which just sounds more pleasing than "I'm too lazy." So what's the deal? Some of these treatments are effective, as I've tried some of them. Just a 10-pound reduction of body weight by exercise, weight reduction, and healthier diet, lowers blood pressure significantly. Still, not all of us are willing to part with the little joys in life. That's where my Natural Blood Pressure Exercise Program comes in. My program does not involve long hours of exercise or any strenuous physical activity. It does not even talk about weight loss. It only involves removing nerve tension and emotional stress, which in turn lowers blood pressure. Only a few minutes each week is required to do the program. I am healthier and my hypertension is better controlled by doing these exercises than the other treatments I've tried before. Please click on the link found at the upper-right-hand side of this website. It wouldn't hurt at all if you lose a few pounds as well by doing the exercises, right?
