Cases of hypertension and stress a lot happening, and potentially life threatening. Although no direct connection, they put you at risk of health problems, such as heart disease, kidney failure, and stroke.

According to the American Heart Association, approximately 1 in 3 adults has hypertension. Mayo Clinic health site notes, the researchers found no evidence that long-term stress causes hypertension. The cause of hypertension could actually other factors associated with stress, such as drinking alcohol or overeating. As the quotation from the Modern Mom.

Sports proven to reduce stress and improve self-confidence and endhorpins-chemicals in the brain to reduce anxiety and depression. All make an impact on lowering blood pressure. Exercise can lower systolic blood pressure of 5-10 mm Hg.

Aerobic

Aerobic or physical activity that increases breathing and heart rate can be controlled hypertension, including walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling. Even mowing the lawn or washing the floors were considered aerobic exercise during the activity can improve breathing and heartbeat. To control blood pressure, do 30-60 minutes of aerobics four times or more a week.

Heart

Exercise helps your heart in several ways. First, strengthen the heart muscle so it can pump more blood with less effort. Second, increase blood flow to the heart and makes the heart work more efficiently, thus reducing the force on the arteries and reduce blood pressure. And third, helping to reduce levels of insulin, a hormone that contributes to high blood pressure.

Weight Loss

Fatty tissue needs oxygen and nutrients just like every tissue in your body. Increasing the amount of fat in the body means the heart must pump more blood in the larger volume. As a result, more pressure on your artery walls.

Sports help you keep your weight down to healthy levels, also reduces blood pressure. In fact, the Mayo Clinic noted that weight loss is only approximately 10 pounds can lower blood pressure significantly.

Urban people usually do not appreciate the relaxation because we often feel guilty for not being productive. People should know that feeling tension will accelerate the ongoing work throughout your system and produce conditions that can make young people develop symptoms typical of the elderly.

Most of us will deny being stressed, but your skin can’t lie. To check your stress level, check out the signs on your skin.

1. Dry skin
“Chronic stress increases the cortisol hormone levels that can damage the skin’s ability to retain water,” said Peter Elias, MD, a dermatologist from the University of California, United States. As a result, the skin will lose moisture and become dull.

2. Soft wrinkles
Cortisol, the stress hormones, also will increase blood sugar levels which can damage the collagen and elastin, the protein fiber that makes the skin supple and soft. Tension in the facial muscles due to stress can also create permanent wrinkles.

3. Redness
Improve blood circulation that occurs when we are under pressure to widen capillaries. Stress also trigger reddish hue called rosacea. And, because stress weakens the immune system, reddish tinge on the face will probably stay long enough.

4. Acne
Acne is a skin disorder characterized by the growth of small rash due to clogging of skin pores. Acne occurs when hair follicles in the skin becomes blocked. Stress also increases the inflammation that causes clogged hair follicles.

5. Eyestrain
Anxiety will produce a chain reaction; make it hard for eyes to close at night and causing swollen eyes, so the next day your face look bothered by the eyes that looked tired and haggard.

Obesity and depression were closely linked. One study revealed that obesity increases the risk of depression. In contrast, depressed people are also at increased risk to obesity.

Research conducted by the Leiden University Medical Center, Netherlands,found that depression increased the risk of obese people who were not initially depressed by 55 per cent and depression increase the risk of obesity is initially normal weight by 58 percent.

“There is reciprocal relationship over time between depression and obesity,” says lead researcher Dr S Floriana Luppino from Leiden University Medical Center, Netherlands, told by Reuters Health. Luppino said, this analysis was not designed to determine what type of person is prone to the risk of depression, but only to find out how much obesity increases risk.

But as a comparison, a recent study was funded by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) found that nearly one in four cases of obesity associated with mood or anxiety disorders.

These findings, said the researchers at the NIMH as listed on the site, appears to support what other studies have found that obesity in which case the rise in the United States is associated with increased levels of depression citizens and the problems other mental health.

Meanwhile, recent research conducted Leiden University Medical Center also has the same result. The study was collected from approximately 15 studies have been published to see whether being overweight or obese is associated with depression, and vice versa.

Studies collectively involving more than 58,000 people, using a measure of body mass index (body mass index / BMI) to measure how fat or thin a person. For reference, the United States adults with a BMI 25 or more is considered overweight, but some were calling the size of BMI over 30 had declared obesity.

Being fat, said Luppino, not only increases the risk of depression, but depression may trigger a more violent, which is no longer centered around the symptoms of depression. In contrast to obesity, the relationship between depression and being overweight (but not obese) is not related reciprocity, but only one direction. He said, being overweight only increases the risk of depression in people who were not initially depressed. However, depression did not increase the risk of being overweight from time to time.

This finding itself was reported in a recent issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, which also showed that the relationship between obesity and depression are more likely evident in Americans than Europeans.

Why? ‘An association response, which means the higher the BMI the more people suffering from depression may explain the association, “said Luppino. The average weight of Americans are heavier than ratarata European citizens.

However, the researchers say, the effects of psychological stress in overweight people should not be ignored. Overweight and obesity can lead to low self-esteem, and dissatisfaction with body shape. “Especially in Western countries where thin is often regarded as an ideal of beauty. Both the low self and body shape dissatisfaction known to increase risk of depression, “said Luppino.

Because depression and obesity carry a greater health implication, it is important to prevent and treat both. The team of Dutch researchers are encouraging doctors and other health professionals, who work in various fields, to collaborate and exchange their expertise.

Luppino suggested, doctors who treat patients who are overweight or obese can also treat depression related problems. While psychiatrists or general practitioners who treat depressed people can advise patients who are obese are also to meet with dietitians.

While other studies mentioned, good habits at home as often eat with the family at home may prevent children are obese. Research published in March issue of the journal Pediatrics stated that children who are toddlers could decrease the risk of obesity by 40 percent if often have dinner with the family, limiting hours of watching TV, and enough sleep.

“Doing one or all three are proven to reduce the risk of obesity of children under five,” said Sarah Anderson PhD, lead researcher and assistant professor of epidemiology at Ohio State University, United States, as quoted by webmd.com.

Children under five who live at home and followed the three lifestyle restrictions such routines can reduce almost 40 percent lower risk of obesity than those who did not do all three. These findings also take into account risk factors, such as maternal obesity and household income.

Headaches can be caused by many things such as stress, a stinging smell or a symptom of certain diseases. But sex can also be a cause of headache, it is called coital cephalgia.

Headache due to Sexual intercourse (coital cephalgia) can occur when a person masturbates or any other type of sexual activities, for some people, a certain sexual positions can cause headaches. This condition is 1 of 360 types of headaches.

As quoted from Womenshealth, Wednesday (10/3/2010) sex can increase blood pressure which in turn can increase the pressure in the head and also cause tightening and muscle tension.

Sex headaches is a combination of blood pressure and muscle tension, in some cases low blood pressure of fluid around the brain and spine.

In some rare cases, sex headaches is an early symptoms of health problems such as meningitis, bleeding within the skull, tumors, stroke and various endocrine disorders.

In women, if pain is more severe, it is usually accompanied by other symptoms such as numbness, weakness, numbness, changes in vision and disorientation.

The treatment needed is not different from other headaches. To prevent this, one can take blood pressure medicine or headache medicine a few hours before having sex and also change sex positions.

Headache during sexual intercourse can increase the anxiety and feelings of calm that would be a problem for the couple, so sometimes counseling assistance is needed.

If various ways have been tried but do not show good results then the pair could only wait. This is because the headache often just disappears by it self after a few weeks or months.

Nowadays genital warts can be prevented with special vaccines. Based on medical research, this disturbing disease is found in those aged 17-33 years. A person is very easy to pass on to others, in which a person has the possibility to directly infected, although only one-time exposure on sexual activity with people who suffer from genital warts are.

In fact, in the United States almost one million people are estimated to suffer from genital warts, and this means that every minute there is one new case of genital warts for the disease. Worldwide, HPV is one of the major causes of illness, sexually transmitted diseases, which according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are about 6.2 million of new cases of infectious diseases due to HPV infection.

In women, genital warts usually appear in late teens or early 20s. While in men, genital warts usually grow in between the early 20s to late 20s.

For example the United States, allocate funds for USD140.000 million for private health plans American society in relation to the diagnosis and treatment of genital warts. Not to mention the burden of psychological distress for the sufferer, such as a decreased level of confidence, negative self-perception, shame, and anxiety.

The genital warts mostly can be treated with medication ingredients to destruct these warts, there are two drugs type, the first one is should be applied by doctors and the another can be applied by the patient himself.  When it does not work with these drugs, kautera surgery , electric surgical, or laser surgery can be performed.
HPV may experience clearance after 8 months, 1 year, or 2 years. Small part in a settlement, or persistens, can become malignant, causing cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, penile cancer, or rectal cancer.

Like cervical cancer caused by HPV, HPV infection causes genital warts can also be prevented, but you must try to avoid some high risk factors such as direct genital contact and sexual intercourse with more than one partner.

Both diseases can be resisted with the help of quadrivalent HPV vaccine protection that can protect the body from the threat of the four types of HPV as well, namely types 16 & 18 as a cause of cervical cancer and types 6 and 11 as a cause of genital warts. Quadrivalent HPV vaccine was applied three times in the first injection, month 2, and month 6.

CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends three-dose vaccination series for girls from the age of 11 years to adult women aged 26 years. The vaccine can also be applied to the boys from the age of nine years. In addition, the vaccine can also protect against precancerous lesions that often develop into cancer of the vulva and vagina.
