#027: High Blood Pressure Redefined, 130 Is The New HIGH
TRIVIA: Did you know that you are actually just 10% human?
IN THE NEWS: If you’re allergic to eggs, you’re all clear to get a flu shot this year, according to new guidelines. Also, Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop website recommends a $135 coffee enema and it's a really bad idea.
MAIN: New high blood pressure guidelines which lower the definition of high blood pressure. High blood pressure should be treated earlier with lifestyle changes and in some patients with medication – at 130/80 mm Hg rather than 140/90mm Hg. You can lower your blood pressure with the following lifestyle changes:
- Losing weight (if you are overweight or obese)
- Quitting smoking
- Eating a healthy diet, including the DASH diet (refer to episode 004 for for details about the DASH diet)
- Reducing Sodium
- Regular Exercise
- Limiting Alcohol
- Monitoring Caffeine
- Reducing your STRESS!!
LISTENER QUESTION:
Is it better for my overall health to get eight hours of sleep per night during the week but not have time to exercise, or to get six and a half to seven hours of sleep per night and fit in a morning workout?
