Hypertension, High Blood Pressure, The Silent Killer
Hypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure. Blood pressure is defined as the force of our blood pushing against the walls of the arteries and vessels as the heart pumps out blood through out the body.
High blood pressure is known as the silent killer because there are little to no symptoms. It is usually detected when we go in for our routine physicals.
As I mentioned in a previous post, blood pressure is defined as high when it reaches 140/90. Our goal should be to keep the blood pressure below this, closer to 120/80.
When blood pressure becomes high, there can be damage and complications that arise from it. Here are just a few of the potential health problems:
Kidney damage
Heart Attack
Stroke
Vision problems
In the following posts, I will review a few steps towards maintaining or having a healthy blood pressure.

Ways to relax
I’ve had a long day. A full day at work. Home with the kids. Cleaning up after dinner. Doing a few quick household chores. Now, I am sitting here, surfing online, while I listen to the kids in their rooms.
It seems more and more of a challenge for me to find ways to relax-ways that won’t be incredibly time consuming. I find that by taking a few minutes to just let my mind go blank, it really helps me physically as well as mentally. Here are a few things that work for me. Please feel free to post ideas of your own.
1. Deep breathing.
2. Taking a short walk. This is something that I don’t do nearly often enough. Actually I do it very rarely but do enjoy it when I take the time.
3. A short power nap.
4. Taking a warm bath.
5. Chatting with an old friend.
Now what ways do you find work for you?

Dental health…
Recently my eight year old had a horrible battle with a tooth. Thankfully, we were able to get the tooth removed after many visits with various dentists and finally found a fabulous oral surgeon who removed the tooth, cleaned the area, and put her out. We were thrilled to have found him!
Because of our recent dental experience, I am even more adamant about the kids practicing excellent dental hygiene. Here are a few things I have found to be helpful in our house…
1. Use a timer. This ensures the kids are brushing their teeth for the correct amount of time.
2. Use the dental flossers that have handles. My kids seem to really use these a lot more.
3. Electric toothbrushes. It seems they are more eager to brush when they have an electric toothbrush.
So do you have any tips to share?
