Scientists Warn Against the Increasing Prevalence of Hypertension

(Newswire.net — April 17, 2019) Orlando, FL — Experts have been trying to look for ways to reduce the number of people who suffer from high blood pressure. However, it appears that its prevalence continues to escalate.

The American Heart Association has redefined what high blood pressure means. In its new definition, it is having 130 systolic and 80 diastolic, or 130 over 80. This is 10 points lower than the 140 over 90 previous definition.

Since this tighter definition has been released, it has been found that an additional 14 percent of individuals in the United States will be diagnosed.

This means it could result in almost half or 46 percent of the United States adult population. Kevin Pauley, AHA spokesman for West Virginia, said that they were trying to produce early intervention to prevent further increase.

The redefinition of high blood pressure diagnosis can reduce threshold and perhaps get rid of prehypertension diagnosis to full disease. If people do not have anyidea they have high blood pressure, they could be in a risk for heart attack and not even know it.

Hypertension also increases the risk of stroke, kidney failure, and even congestive heart failure. It has been found that almost one in three adults in the United States have high blood pressure.

It is always important to understand that when this condition develops, it often lasts a lifetime. Its occurrence means the heart s working harder than the normal, placing a strain on the heart and arteries.Since hypertensive individuals do not normally suffer from symptoms, regular blood pressure check-ups are highly recommended.

Those who suffer from symptoms normally experience blurred vision, nosebleeds, insomnia, nervousness, headache, high salt intake, and shortness of breath.

The contributing factors of this condition are excessive use of stimulants such as coffee, tea or drugs, obesity, heredity, cigarette smoking, and stress.

There are ways to fight hypertension, and it includes the use of magnesium. This macromineral has been widely studied due to its benefits against high blood pressure.

In some studies, it has been found to reduce blood pressure. Intake of magnesium in these studies lasted for three months.

It was published in the Hypertension journal.

Intake of nutrients like magnesium could potentially be helpful in reducing the risk of high blood pressure. It can be obtained from foods, but there are also supplements available.

Divine Bounty Magnesium Citrate is one formula to consider. It is gaining more and more interest from consumers due to its high potency. This formula also has citric acid, which increases magnesium absorption inside the body (www.amazon.com/Divine-Bounty-Magnesium-Citrate-Supplement/dp/B01LYWPNY6).
