Diet soda and risk of stroke, heart Want to improve blood pressure? Try to reduce intake of sugary sodas and other sugary drinks. In this way, the researchers found, could help lower blood pressure.

Previous studies have linked sugary drinks with obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, a series of factors that boost the risk of heart disease and diabetes. But, this is the first study to demonstrate the role of sweetened drinks in increasing blood pressure. High blood pressure is one of the major risk factor for heart disease and stroke.

"Reducing soda consumption will benefit your blood pressure," explained researcher Liwei Chen MD, PhD from Louisiana State University Health Science Center School of Public Health in New Orleans, was quoted as webmd.com site on Monday (24 / 5).

Blood pressure and soda

In this study, researchers involved 810 adult participants aged 25 to 79, with the condition of prehypertension or stage one hypertension. All of these participants took part in the study duration of 18 months designed to prevent and reduce high blood pressure by losing weight, exercise and diet.

Someone said to be in the condition of prehypertension if systolic blood pressure between 120 and 139 or diastolic blood pressure 80 to 89. Medium stage one hypertension if systolic blood pressure between 140 and 159 or diastolic blood pressure between 90 and 99.

Systolic blood pressure is the top number in blood pressure measure and refers to the pressure when the heart beats. Diastolic pressure, the figure below, represents the pressure between said blood detakan.Tekanan ideal if reading is less than 120/80.

Researchers found that 50 percent cut soda intake reduced systolic blood pressure of 1.8 points and 1.1 points diastolic pressure. This effect, according to Chen, is very useful. The reduction of three points equivalent to systolic blood pressure reduction in risk of death from stroke as much as eight percent and deaths from heart disease as much as five percent.

"The consumption of soda is very popular and high blood pressure is a serious health disorder. If you can reduce sugary drinks, you can reduce blood pressure in the short term and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in the long term." (IK/OL-5)

Headaches are

Headaches are usually not associated with important diseases. The characteristics, time of occurrence, location, and the symptoms and signs associated with headache show the origin of headaches. Ask targeted questions to clarify each of these characteristics.

Characteristics of headache caused by dilated blood vessels are pulsing. Tumors located in causing tenderness, deep, like a toothache. Neuralgia causes pain as tingling. Tension causes pain as feeling depressed or depressed circular ribbon. Also suggested the timing of a particular diagnosis. Usually, headaches that occur upon awakening is more important than if it does at night. Hypertension, sinusitis, and tumors cause headaches in the morning. Tension headaches and eye fatigue due to mild astigmatism is often worse in the afternoon and evening. The headaches that have suffered during the years bertanun most likely not related to the neoplasm.

Ask the patient to pinpoint the location of pain. Pain due to intracranial disease transferred in accordance with the location of the disease. The mass lesion above tentorium serebeli divert the pain into the branches of the fifth cranial nerve. The pain is felt in front of the ear. Lesions below the tentorium was transferred to a regional cranial nerve distribution to the nine and ten, behind the ear. Migraines are usually unilateral and are often preceded by an aura or warning signs, usually visual. Because of tension headache almost always occurs in the occipital region as it relates to muscular spasm paraspinosus neck. Frontal and maxillary sinus inflammation causing pain in the area of ​​the sinuses. Pain may be transferred to the occiput when the sinus sfenoid.

The symptoms associated give important clues and sometimes only dimly. Nighttime cough and post nasal drip (post nasal drip) to strengthen the diagnosis of sinus disease. Morning headaches in men who experience chronic fatigue, obesity, and pletorik with disturbed sleep patterns and snoring loudly indicate the occurrence of sleep apnea and nighttime hypoxia as a cause of headache. Neurologic deficit or seizures lead to cerebrovascular disease or tumor.

Duralis arteries, the arteries at the base of the brain, and venous sinuses are large sensing spasm or pain that occurs when very swollen. Factors such as fever, retention of carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide, and hypoxia alter pembulun tonus of cerebral blood and can cause headaches. Inflammation of temporal arteries in temporal arteritis can cause headaches and myalgia in the shoulder area and the superior extremity.

Increased intracranial pressure stretch the lining of the brain as well as vascular structures. Pull or pressure on the lining of the brain may cause pain in patients with brain tumors. Coughing and straining further increase intracranial pressure and aggravate the pain on brain tumors because of increased intracranial pressure. Brain tumors also cause projectile vomiting. Typical of this particular type of vomiting is not related dengari vomit nausea, occur suddenly and cause the release of the contents of the stomach with great force.
