Lifestyle changes usually mean a modification in what you eat, your activity, your interactions, and your level of stress. For most of us, it is difficult to consider this significant a change in the way we live. And, when you have a diagnosis of High Blood Pressure, the imminent threat of severe medical and physical problems is so frightening that many of us are able to make these kinds of modifications and we are able to maintain a deep decision to making this kind of change in our lifestyle.
What Is The Basis Of These Changes?
High Blood Pressure is considered to be a modern cultural disorder. It is because we are living a modern lifestyle. Those who are living in more simple conditions usually do not have hypertension. They eat naturally grown foods, they walk instead of riding in machines, their work is physical instead of at a desk. Their play is outside instead of watching TV and playing computer games. They use natural approaches instead of manufactured drugs when they are not feeling well. They have natural control of their hypertension.
We who live in modern cultures may consider those more simple cultures as an inappropriate lifestyle for ourselves, but those who live there are in better medical condition than ourselves. Perhaps there is something that they are doing which is better for us than our modern cultural lifestyle?
Changing What We Eat
If you have hypertension and you want to control your hypertension, your medical advisors will tell you to eat more organic foods and fewer manufactured foods. They tell you to eat organic fruits and vegetables. They tell you to eat less meat. This certainly sounds like what those who are living in less modern lifestyles are eating.
Altering Our Levels Of Activity
If you must control your High Blood Pressure levels, your medical adviser has insisted that you do physical activity many times per week. This means changing to a more physical kind of work or doing physical work in your garden on an intense schedule. This would mean a more active approach to work and recreation than we normally performed in our modern culture. This really sounds like the kinds of physical activities that those in less modern cultures perform every day.
Altering Our Interactions
If your interactions are currently maintained by phone, instant messaging, or emails, then you would need to change how you relate so that your interactions are more face-to-face. This means you walk to where those people are, or you work beside them so that your relationship interactions become more direct and involve more activity instead of a sedentary and long distance approach.
Changing Your Levels Of Stress
If you are consistently under pressure, and you have High Blood Pressure, your physical and emotional lifestyle is an open invitation for heart attack or stroke. To become more healthy, you have to change your attitude, your expectations, and your emotions to lower your stress levels. This requires you to become more tuned into the seasons of the calendar and more tuned into the cycles of the land. It means becoming less bothered by the deadlines of your projects at your job and more aligned with nature.
Altering Your Lifestyle
To be able to make this lifestyle change, so you can have a natural control of your blood pressure levels, you first have to develop a different set of cultural norms for yourself. You have to commit to walk instead of ride. You have to start buying or growing fresh foods and preparing them for yourself instead of buying prepared foods in the supermarket or in restaurants. You have to make sure you go outside and play. If you want to have a healthy lifestyle and healthy blood pressure levels, you need to commit to make these lifestyle changes for yourself. You can maintain natural control of everybody's blood pressure levels.
