High Blood Pressure: What is Blood Pressure?
Blood is carried from the heart to all parts of your body in vessels called arteries. Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. Each time the heart beats (about 60-70 times a minute at rest), it pumps out blood into the arteries. Your blood pressure is at its highest when the heart beats, pumping the blood. This is called systolic pressure. When the heart is at rest, between beats, your blood pressure falls. This is the diastolic pressure.
What is high blood pressure?
A blood pressure of 140/90 or higher is considered high blood pressure. Both numbers are important. If one or both numbers are usually high, you have high blood pressure. If you are being treated for high blood pressure, you still have high blood pressure even if you have repeated readings in the normal range.
There are two levels of high blood pressure: Stage 1 and Stage 2
Categories for Blood Pressure Levels in Adults 18 and older who:
Are not on medicine for high blood pressure
Are not having a short-term serious illness
Do not have other conditions such as diabetes and kidney disease
(In mmHg, millimeters of mercury)

Stroke: A stroke occurs when the flow of blood to a part of the brain is cut off. This can be due to something (usually a blood clot) blocking the flow of blood to the brain (ischemic stroke). It can also be caused by a burst blood vessel bleeding into the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). About 80% of strokes are ischemic and 20% are hemorrhagic. Without a blood supply, the brain cells in the affected area start to die.
The warning signs of stroke include:

More than half of American adults are overweight. This is a trend that is leading to various mental and physical disorders in the USA.
Losing weight can have a positive impact on your health as well as your attitude.

Nobody wants to be fat and studies show that your weight has such a tremendous impact that it may be linked to personal and financial success.

Genetic, environmental, psychological, and other factors all play a part in obesity.

Genetic factors
Obesity tends to run in families, suggesting a genetic link, but families also share diet and lifestyle habits that could contribute to obesity. To separate the two is not easy.

Environmental factors
This includes lifestyle behavior such as what a person eats and their level of physical activity. A lot of people now tend to eat high-fat foods for convenience not nutrition whilst doing very little, if any exercise.

Psychological factors
Many people eat in response to negative emotions such as sadness, boredom or anger. Even when on diets, some people will binge eat. If you think this could apply to you, seek professional help from your doctor or psychiatrist.

Other causes of obesity
Some illnesses can lead to obesity or weight gain. These include hypothyroidism, depression, Cushing's syndrome and certain neurological problems. Some drugs such as steroids and some antidepressants may also cause weight gain. Talk to your doctor to find out whether existing medical problems and medications could be causing weight gain or making weight loss difficult.

Diet
A balanced low fat diet is high in healthy carbohydrates, low in fat and moderate in protein.
It should be rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, which are specially recommended for weight control and preventing diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

Exercise
Take regular moderate exercise
20 minutes of light exercise every day is fine for starters.
You can increase this gradually but don't overdo it.
Exercise won't make you slim but it helps.

Metabolic formula- Speeds up your metabolism helping you burn off the calories you consume with each meal.

Energy formula- Will increase your energy levels and raise your body heat through a process called thermogenesis. By increasing your body heat you naturally begin the fat-burning process. Increasing your energy will give you the motivation you need to be active.

Thyroid Support Formula- Helps support healthy thyroid function. Your body has a hormone called Thyroxine that stimulates thyroid function. By increasing the production of Thyroxine you stimulate your thyroid which will help your naturally burn more calories.


Appetite Control Formula- Helpful for suppressing your appetite. This decreases the amount of calories you eat, suppresses cravings for food, and keeps you from feeling hungry. This formula works well with low calorie diets!


Fat Block Formula- Blocks over 12 grams of fat each time you take it! With the power of Chitosan our fat block formula can help you cheat and still lose weight.


Carbohydrate Block Formula- Uses a special blend of ingredients to block up to 2700 starch calories using a modified USP test method. This means you can eat carbs with your meals.

1. Metabolism Support:
Green Tea Extract- In a 1999 Swiss study, six out of 10 men taking capsules of green tea extract, burned on average an extra 80 calories a day--the equivalent of 3 tablespoons of ice cream, 7 potato chips, or 1 Dunkin' Donuts Munchkin.

In a 2000 study, people who took green tea capsules broke down fat more quickly and burned energy 4.5 percent faster than people given placebo.

Alpha Lipoic Acid- It is well known that alpha-lipoic acid is used by the body to aid in mitochondrial energy metabolism, but this new study, published in the November 1999 issue of Free Radical Biology & Medicine showed that it specifically inhibits the oxidation of protein, LDL cholesterol, and cellular DNA.

L-Carnitine- A recent study showed the powerful advantage of combining carnitine with a weight loss program. For those eating a healthy diet and getting moderate exercise for 12 weeks, the average weight loss was one pound. For those who added two grams of carnitine per day to the same regimen, weight loss averaged 11 pounds. Merely adding 2,000 mg of carnitine from carnitine tartrate increased weight loss elevenfold (11 pounds in the carnitine group versus 1 pound in the non-carnitine group).

2. Energy:
Ginseng- Ginseng has been the subject of more than 300 studies and is well-known for its ability to increase stamina while relieving stress and anxiety. It's often used by professional athletes to increase energy and endurance. Its active components, ginsenosides and B vitamins, enhance neuroendocrine function, neurotransmission in the brain and improve the metabolism of protein and carbohydrates.

Yerba Mate Extract (Alex paraguariensis Leaves)- Has a thermagenic effect which triggers the body to burn excess calories. Can suppress appetite while also keeping your body healthy because it is filled with carotene, Vitamin A, C, E, and B complex; magnesium, calcium, iron, and chlorophyll.

Vitamin B6- Helps the body produce energy and also metabolizes homocysteine, the amino acid that contributes to atherosclerosis.

Vitamin B12- Converts homocysteine into a non-toxic compound. The may lower your risk of atherosclerosis which is commonly linked to obesity.

3. Thyroid Support:
Bladderwrack- May enhance weight loss by stimulating the thyroid gland, which in turn plays a role in metabolism.

Bovine- Help to support proper function of the thyroid.

4. Appetite Control:
Garcinia Cambogia- Extracts from this Indian fruit and its relative, Garcinia indica, compete with an enzyme needed during digestion. Advocates claim the herb reduces the amount of overeaten carbohydrates that get converted to body fat, dampens the appetite, and whisks away extra pounds.

Hoodia Gordonii Extract- A powerful appetite suppressant that triggers a response in the brain 1000 times more powerful than glucose. Successfully tested in many clinical studies to be effective.

Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)- Has been reported to reduce appetite and contributes to significant weight loss in test subjects.

5. Fat Block:
Chitosan- Chitosan is made from the shells of crustaceans such as crab and shrimp. A type of fiber not absorbed by the body, it binds to fat, making the fat nonabsorbable by the body. So you supposedly can enjoy high-fat foods and flush the consequences away. The new prescription drug Orlistat also jettisons blubber before it settles in. But there is a difference: Orlistat has gone through clinical trials that prove it helps people lose weight.

Vitamin C- Has been heavily researched to support a multitude of functions in the body. Is essential to maintaining good health.

6. Carb Block:
Chromium Polynicotinate- Chromium is an essential nutrient--one in short supply in the average American diet because we eat so many refined foods. Scientists think the trace mineral helps insulin regulate the way the body turns food into energy, in turn influencing appetite. When bound with picolinate, which increases absorption, chromium is reputed to aid in fat loss without harming muscle mass.

Phaseolus Vulgaris (fruit)- Has the ability to inhibit Alpha-amylase, an enzyme that is needed by starch to become glucose. This in turn means that there is no new glycogen to convert to fat.
