Hypertension & Diabetes
Risk Factors For hypertension
1. Excess weight
2. Excess salt intake
Hypertension & diabetes both are uncurable diseases.We can only control these diseases. Hypertension can worsen diabetic retinopathy. Both these diseases can damage kidney & this again leads to worsening of diabetic retinopathy
Hypertension is ranked as the fourth greatest mortality risk factor in the world. It is defined as a state of persistent elevated blood pressure above 140/90 mm of Hg on two or more blood pressure recordings.
Hypertension may be divided into primary and secondary. Primary (or essential) hypertension is by far the most common type, representing more than 90% of cases. Secondary hypertension may be iatrogenic (oral contraceptives, steroid therapy) or may be caused by renal parenchymal disease, renal artery stenosis, and endocrine causes
It affects the arteries, veins, choroids and the optic nerve. Hypertensive retinopathy is a well-known condition. Its characterized by narrowing of retinal arteries. Hypertension can cause retinal artery & vein occlusion. Choroidopathy in malignant hypertension may affect visual function permanently but may also in part be related to two other factors, the compromised circulation of the optic nerve and maculopathy in the form of extensive macular exudates. These exudates are lipid deposits. The fundus changes may be the reflections of changes that are going on in other organs of the body like heart, brain and the kidneys. DM & HT are 2 enemies which once enter our body will remain for whole life. There is no cure. We can only control HT & DM. It is also the most important risk factor for cerebral vascular disease & heart attack. The mortality and morbidity associated with hypertension also include renal and ophthalmic end-organ damage. HT can cause ischemic heart disease(IHD) & cardiac failure. Hypertension patient can develop sudden cerebrovascular attacks(stroke).Sudden reduction of blood pressure through the administration of multiple antihypertensive medications may result in hypoperfusion and ischemic injury to susceptible tissues

Exercise makes body attractive
Tummy reduction achievement is not easy & one has to be strict in maintaining diet & exercise. Belly fat goes very slowly. Same is true about fat in ladies, thighs & hips. Regular exercise is important.People who can't do jogging, can do a regular walk. Aerobics is going to help a lot. One can either join a gym or prepare a home gym
1. Exercise helps in burning calories & weight loss.
2. Also it increases body metabolism rate.
3. It helps in proper production of insulin by pancreas.
4. It helps in proper response of insulin receptors to the action of insulin.
5. Exercise helps in keeping diabetes & hypertension away.
Females should do exercise regularly to prevent accumulation of fat in thighs & hips. This causes increase in waist- line which is cosmetically disfiguring. This is especially important in adolescents & after pregnancy. waist- line is more important in actresses, models, athletes, swimmers, etc
Aerobics is going to help a lot. Morning time is the best time. If not possible, do in evenings.
When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together. If you exercise without dieting, you will have increased appetite, which will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For diet, reduce wheat. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. Avoid food after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on your initial weight, you can lose regularly a month. Don't eat sticky, fatty cakes, junk food, and don't eat biscuits. But your diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising, start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack, joint pains, fractured bones, etc).
Weight lifting is a good means to target your problem areas for men and women. It's not necessary to become a bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).
1. Exercise for about an hour per day. If not possible, at least 30 min / day for 3 days in a week. It will increase basal metabolic rate and will help burn calories.
2. Do some strength training like sit-ups, leg lifts, arm exercises
3. Walk a lot probably about 10 km or more per week. I reduced my portions and monitored my calorie consumption.
4. One needs to do cardio 3-4 times a week running outside it great workout if you can hit a gym and cardio machine is great at least 30mins. One can use treadmill at home if one can't go to gym
Add weight/strength training 3 times a week. You can google free weight training guides anywhere. also for those wanting sexy hot abs. a nice toned stomach comes from a body with low body fat. So if you are overweight and u do a million crunches or any abdomen workout you are wasting your time. One can’t see the muscles under fat. Low body fat equals=a nice flat stomach.
Plan your meals. Always have a healthy snack with you so you won’t be tempted to eat fast food. Also if you wait to late to eat you will get so hungry and eat more. Make time to work out start out with 30 mins then increase. Diet alone can help lose weight but working out makes body look good. shows muscles and tight skin which is sexy and beautiful.
