About 50 million Americans have hypertension and according to the
U.S. Public Health Service, hypertension affects more than 50% of all Americans over 65
years old. Men tend to suffer from hypertension and high blood pressure more than women.
But the risk for women goes up after menopause reaching men's risk levels for high blood
pressure. Because, hypertension may cause no symptoms until problems occur it is also
called the "silent killer". In 1990 over 33,000 Americans died from
hypertension related diseases. Arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis often occur prior to
hypertension. Your blood pressure should be taken several times during a day to be
accurate as a single reading is normally not good enough. Often people with
hypertension
are eating a poor diet with not enough fruits and vegetables. Flax seed oil is known to
help as well as other omega fatty acids.
