    peachpurple wrote a new post, How to prevent High Blood Pressure For Children & Young Adults 8 years, 5 months ago

    Heart disease and high blood pressure are beginning to appear in children at early age.

     

    More studies had proven that children with higher blood pressure levels are most likely to contract hypertension in […]

    • Hard to imagine children having high blood pressure.
      I think if parents let the kids run about and play more often, the problem will be resolved.
      Most kids like to run when they are happy or sad or not having anything to do.
      That is good for them, but parents always tell the kids to stop running.

    • My nephew age 19 already has hypertension.Why? He likes to eat processed foods, all meat , canned goods and sweets. He is not fat, but high blood and high creatine. My elder sister too are having high blood issues and arthritis, too bad to know about their sickness. They like to eat what they want to eat.

    • These are all excellent pieces of advice for prevention of high blood pressure and a number of other health concerns too. I would discourage relying on fruit juices, though, especially commercially produced ones.

      It is much better to feed a child a piece of fruit and give him a glass of water, than to give him fruit juice. Since the advent of juice boxes, it has become normal for school children in north America to bring them to school daily, and in some cases the school will ask for two or even three juice boxes per day. That is far more fruit juice than recommended, and in fact nurses, doctors and dietitians will all tell you the juice should be treated more like a treat for once in a while, than an everyday staple.

      When I was a child and there were no juice boxes, we kids just drank water at the fountain if we got thirsty during school. Since juice boxes, kids often don’t even have the time to go to the fountain. Some schools may not even keep the fountains properly maintained. And now the children are becoming obese at such a young age.It’s truly a concern!

      • I never buy juice for the kids to drink. I hated when I was on assistance and I would get vouchers for their food staples such as milk, bread, cereal, etc. I had to buy the juice which I thought was unnecessary. If they eat the fruit then they do not need the juice. If I did buy juice it would be 100% real fruit juice and only allow them to have one serving of it a day. I do not even let them have pop since it is not good for them. Only on a special occasion can they have it as long as it is caffeine free.

        At restaurants they order water and at school they drink water. At home it is water or milk for them to drink. I have never been a big juice drinker either and much prefer water to any other drink. I know people that give their children pop all the time regardless of whether there is caffeine in it or not. They also give them unlimited juice. While the juice boxes are convenient they are not cheap and it can cost a lot of money that I don’t have for the school year.

    • The points you noted are very helpful. I have a relative suffering from high blood pressure. The most effective way to maintain the blood pressure levels to a normal one is to cut out your salt intake. We know that high salt intake can have a negative effect. Also a good amount of exercise is needed alongwith a good diet to control your blood pressure to the normal level.

    • For me the major factor that has caused hypertension among kids, youths, and adults too is their lifestyle. As the world become modern, technologically advance, everyone’s lifestyle is greatly affected. They tend to become immobile. They maintain a sedentary kind of living with less exercises, work, or exertion of muscles and efforts. Add to this lifestyle is the uncontrollable intake of carbo, salty foods, among others.

    • High blood pressure is a common problem among the children, young and old and other hand it is a threat to death sometimes high blood pressure causes death without reason while walking or sleeping or playing death occurs.

      We must keep in mind that Eat a healthy diet. Eating a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products and skimps on saturated fat and cholesterol can lower your blood pressure by up to 14 mm Hg.

      To increase the amounts of natural potassium, magnesium, and fiber you take in, select from the following:

      apples
      apricots
      bananas
      beet greens
      broccoli
      carrots
      collards
      green beans
      dates
      grapes
      green peas
      kale
      lima beans
      mangoes
      melons
      oranges
      peaches
      pineapples
      potatoes
      raisins
      spinach
      squash
      strawberries
      sweet potatoes
      tangerines
      tomatoes
      tuna
      yogurt (fat-free)

      Potassium, magnesium, and fiber, on the other hand, may help control blood pressure. Fruits and vegetables are high in potassium, magnesium, and fiber, and they’re low in sodium. Stick to whole fruits and veggies. Juice is less helpful, because the fiber is removed. Also, nuts, seeds, legumes, lean meats, and poultry are good sources of magnesium.

      To increase the amounts of natural potassium, magnesium, and fiber you take in, select from the following:

    • I never used to understand when am told that a young child is suffering from high blood pressure, or diabetes. Until I grew older and i was explained to that diabetes and high blood pressure can ovcit at anytime and age. Sometimes I may even ask myself, what causes this ailments in kids? I thought it’s okay for kids to eat almost anything because their bodies are still growing, how wrong was I. It so happens when our diets mean everything to put bodies. If we don’t take care with the good that we eat everyday this diseases are likely to get to us. Obesity has always been a big problem in our society where kids indulge in bad eating habits, parents hav3 become lazy, they dont want to prepare home made meals, careers have also played a part in children eating the wrong foods. Supermarkets and fast food restuarants have not made things any easier when they prepare all sorts of foods and people come and take away.
      I like all the tips that you have outlined, they are all very important. Exercises also pelts a very big part in curbing this diseases. They keep us healthy, they reduce cholesterol in our bodies, they burn fats keep us from and fit so it’s good to also keep the children active at all times.

    yeah not all posts, we will be paid 22 cents for 500 words

    I find that there must be that SEO stuff that we have to try to embedded into our head when writing.

     

    I found your post is more related to review, you should get 24-26 cents , not 22 cents

     

    Thank you for being big heart for accepting comments.
