HIGH BLOOD PATIENTS ADVISED TO CONSUME MORE NATURAL PRODUCTS

High blood patients are advised to consume lots of natural products like fruits, vegetables and antilipemic tea (food supplement) as possible

Interviewed recently, a dealer in natural health products,  Fidelia Wysenyuy, said these products reduce the pressure with which the heart pumps blood to the different parts of the body and cholesterol from the blood vessels, which according to her, reduces the advent of heart attack and stroke.

Wysenyuy, also advised the use of hypertension apparatus to balance blood pressure and relax nerves.

“They should always feel happy, avoid stress, stop thinking much about their problems and plight, and should avoid noisy and lousy environment because this will increase their blood pressure,” she said.

This natural health product dealer, added that high blood patients and even non-patients should reduce the rate at which they eat fatty foods like eggs, palm oil, achu, pork, and any food that has cholesterol, which she said narrows and hardens blood vessels making the heart to use much pressure to pump blood throughout the body.

She stressed on food and vegetables, highly recommending Carrots to high blood patients.

She further advised patients not to smoke and to take less alcohol but recommended Parisian and other modern wines, which she said helps the heart to function well.

Who Is a High Blood Patient?

High blood according to Mrs. Wysenyuy, varies with age and people. She said the normal blood pressure of a youth (ages 18 to 35) is 120/80mm/hg.

“Any youth with a blood pressure above 120/80mm/hg increases his or her risk and the risk grows as the blood pressure increases up to about 140/90mm/hg. Anything above this means you have hypertension” she said

Mrs. Wysenyuy, revealed that 200/90mm/hg is the normal blood pressure for people above 35 and 190/95mm/hg for 60 and above respectively. She added that the most vulnerable group to this disease are people from 40 and above.

She further cited lack of energy, blurred vision, facial paralysis, irritability, nose bleeding and failure to thrive as indications of hypertension or high blood pressure.

This natural health product dealer, however, called on high blood patients to relax and take precautions, stating that high blood is just like any other disease and can only result to heart attack, stroke and other diseases if precautions are not taking.
