How to keep blood pressure in control?
“Uncontrolled
high blood pressure can result in the hardening and thickening of
arteries (atherosclerosis), which can lead to a heart attack and even
make the heart abnormally large and less efficient, eventually leading
to heart failure,” explains Dr Sharma.
Food fix(remedies)
Dark chocolate
Chocolate
isn’t good just for romance. The results of a study, ‘Chocolate
Consumption And Cardiometabolic Disorders: Systematic Review And
Meta-Analysis’, by researchers of the University of Cambridge, showed
that people who ate the most chocolate had a 37% lower risk of heart
disease. “Dark chocolates are filled with antioxidants which keep the
heart healthy and help protect against high blood pressure. So they are
good in moderation,” explains Dr Jaswal. The findings were presented at
the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2011 and published online in
August 2011 in the ‘British Medical Journal’.
