Raised blood pressure (BP), known as hypertension, is a serious condition and can increase the risk of strokes and heart attacks. Hypertension is an important public health challenge in the UK and other countries due to its high prevalence and strong association with cardiovascular disease and premature death.
Raised blood pressure affects more than 1 in 4 adults in England, around 12.5 million people (as at 2015) and may be higher with the recent pandemic and lockdown.
Hypertension is not only the most common, but also one of the most important, modifiable risk factors for coronary heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and peripheral vascular disease. The positive relationship between blood pressure and the risk of vascular disease is strong, continuous, graded, consistent, independent, predictive, and aetiologically significant for those with and without a previous history of cardiovascular disease.
There are numerous positive changes that can be made in both lifestyle and nutritional intake that can help to lower a raised BP.
During this presentation you will learn:
- About the incidence & significance of a raised BP
- About the major lifestyle influences on BP
- About the influence of hormones on BP
- How exercise affects BP
- About the major nutritional influences on BP
- How magnesium & minerals influence on BP
- How vitamin D influences BP via the renin-angiotensin system
- About the importance of maintaining endothelial function
- About toxic metals and how they impact BP
