CHUCK SALT TO BEAT
BP
|
|
|
|

 A high-salt diet
can contribute to treatment resistant hypertension. US scientists
assigned patients having resistant blood pressure-where even three
medications cannot bring it down to the target level-to a low or
high salt diet. Those on low-salt diets did better, as their
systolic BP dropped by 22.6 mmHg, and diastolic BP by 9.2 mmHg. The
BP reduction achieved with low – salt diet was better than some
antihypertensive drugs.

 Scientifically selected music can enhance one’s capacity to
exercised and even make it enjoyable. A study of 30 volunteers,
who exercised on a treadmill while listening to carefully
selected pop and rock numbers, showed that music boosted the
physical endurance of the participants by 15 per cent. It also
altered the perception or hard work for moderate exercisers, who
worked our to physical exhaustion. |
