Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the arterial walls. In high blood pressure, the heart has to work harder than normal to pump blood through the circulation system. Over time, high blood pressure has been found to cause damage to the heart and arteries.
Hypertension or high blood pressure is a condition characterized by persistently or abnormally high blood pressure that leads to rising pressure in your heart.
It also is a member of the cluster of metabolic syndrome associated with the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
High blood pressure is a slowly developed condition. Unless the syndrome has caused damage to the blood vessel, otherwise symptoms cannot be detected.
If the pressure stays high over time it can cause hardening and stiffening of the arterial wall,, a major risk factor of heart diseases.
The ideal blood pressure is more than 120 over 80 and less than 140 over 90 (120/80-140/90), according to the consensus.
In the US approximately, one-third of the adults have high blood pressure, affecting over 77 million people in the country.
Additionally, among adults aged 20 and older in the United States, in the non-Hispanic whites community, 33.4 percent of men and 30.7 percent of women are infected by the syndrome.
High blood pressure can be acute or chronic. Acute high blood pressure most often occurs in people with sudden stress or intense physical exercise. As the heart must pump harder to provide the needs of nutrients and oxygen.
Most cases of chronic high blood pressure are associated with an unhealthy lifestyle and chronic diseases such as kidney disease, leading to the onset of strokes and cardiovascular disease.
If you can control your diet, such as making changes to your lifestyle, maintaining an ideal weight, and dieting with low salt, you could do just fine without the drugs.
Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of Phytosterols, belonging to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, and buckwheat. etc.
In finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome, researchers compared the effects of β-sitosterol (BSS) and lisinopril, antihypertension in rats.
According to the tested analysis of rat groups induced hypertension by cadmium chloride treated by BSS and lisinopril, * BSS showed a significant decrease (p<0.05) in the serum creatinine concentration, compared to hypertensive rats.
* Lisinopril treatment showed a significant increase (p<0.05) in the activity of oxidative stress markers AST and ALP, compared to normal rats.
* Treatment of with BSS and lisinopril showed slight variations in the concentration of serum electrolytes compared with normal and hypertensive rats.
* BSS significantly reduced calcium levels compared with the hypertensive group in the activation of oxidative stress.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "The study shows that BSS is effective in restoring basal liver and kidney functions in hypertensive rats.
Taken altogether, beta-sitosterol may be considered a supplement for the protection of liver and kidney functioning, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of beta-sitosterol in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
