How to Your Control Blood Pressure

Ways to control blood pressure

1. Stay active. Regularly exercising helps lower your blood pressure by 4 to 9 millimeters of mercury. Ask your physician to help you develop an exercise program and determine if you have any exercise restrictions.

2. Shed some pounds and watch your weight. As your weight increases, so does your blood pressure. It is wise then to loose some pounds in order to reduce your blood pressure. Generally, the more weight you lose, the better, because the lower your blood pressure goes.

3. Have a healthy diet. Load up your body with nutrients and vitamins to stay healthy. Eat foods which are rich in whole grains, low-fat dairy products, fruits and vegetables. But since not all necessary nutrients and minerals can be provided by the food you eat, consider taking food supplements like l arginine.

4. Avoid tobacco and limit your alcohol and caffeine intake. Nicotine contained in tobacco products can raise your blood pressure by 10 mm Hg or more for up to an hour even after you have smoked. If you smoke throughout the day, your blood pressure remains constantly high. On the other hand, drinking more than moderate amounts of alcohol raises blood pressure by several points. Moreover, alcohol reduces the effectiveness of medications for high blood pressure.

5. Monitor your blood pressure and regularly visit your doctor. Learn to self-monitor your blood pressure using an upper arm monitor. Moreover, see your doctor regularly to help you review your treatment.

It is All About Execution

I have updated this blog's look. Have you noticed? And I like what I see! I also revamped my other blogs' templates and boy, it took me the entire afternoon and evening! And I am not done yet. There are two more blogs that need to be fixed but that can wait. Tomorrow is another day and it's a Friday. As usual, I will be cramming and will try to finish ALL the online tasks that need to be done so that there be no reason to worry about them during the weekend. But just allow me to say that I am very much proud of what I accomplished today. Indeed, it is the day of execution. Yey me!

Now, off I go for some chillaxing and that means watching an episode or two of House, MD. Yay!

Doximity: The Largest Network for Physicians

As a blogger, I find it very important to belong to a network of persons who share the same work. My group gives me the support and boost that I need from time to time. Moreover, I learn from them too on how to become a better blogger and improve my blogs.

Recently, I learned about Doximity. It is the largest real-name and physician-only network. And just like in our group, not anyone can easily join. All new and aspiring members go through a 3-step credential check. Within this exclusive network, member-physicians can easily find specialists like Winston Capel MD, exchange contact information and connect with each other easily. Due to its comprehensive profiling of its physicians, doctors can easily refer a patient to a fellow doctor by using Doximity’s search bar.

Baking?

One of the things that I want to learn this year is how to bake. So, the husband finally bought me another electric oven to use for our food. (The other one which I bought earlier this month is used for my new hobby.)

Last Thursday, I planned on hitting the hypermarket to buy me some baking materials and tools but… I CHICKENED OUT! As I have the tendency to hoard, I need to research first and know what I need as a newbie and NOT everything that I see at the store. Another thing is that I am intimidated by baking as it requires accurate measurements which is really not my strength YET. But anyway, hopefully the husband can help me decide. We’ll research together this weekend and go shopping too!
