Press Release Body: Fl,USA,June ,2008....................Hypertension or high blood
pressure does not cause people to have a short temper as some people may think.
Actually, hypertension does not have any symptoms. Studies indicate that about one
in three American adults have hypertension, but because there are no symptoms, about
one in three of these people are unaware of it. If it is left untreated, it can lead
to heart disease, kidney damage or stroke. These reasons are why hypertension has
been labeled as the silent killer. The only way to tell if you have hypertension is
to have your blood pressure checked regularly. Although intensive and costly
research has been conducted on hypertension, determining the precise cause of
hypertension has been elusive.

Doctors have been unable to determine the specific cause of hypertension in about 90
to 95 percent of all cases. This type of hypertension is labeled as primary or
essential hypertension. Although the precise cause of primary hypertension has yet
to be identified, researchers have been able to find common attributes in people
with primary hypertension.

Studies indicate that primary hypertension only occurs to people with a daily intake
of salt that exceeds 5.8 grams. Heredity and race were proven to be factors in 30
percent of the cases that were studied. People with a family history of hypertension
were twice as likely to get it. And the number of cases of hypertension was greatest
among African Americans. Also most of these test subjects exhibited increased
stiffness or resistance of their peripheral arteries. This stiffness has been linked
to genetic factors, obesity and lack of exercise, excessive salt intake and old age.

Christian Goodman has launched his audio ebook in which he tells three highly
effective exercises. These exercises have been specifically tailored to lower the
high blood pressure to an incredible extent. For more details about his ebook visit
