High blood pressure (hypertension) and high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) are two of the most common chronic diseases affecting Americans today. According to the CDC, over 115 million American adults have high blood pressure, while almost 94 million Americans who are at least 20 years old have high LDL cholesterol (the really bad kind).
Both of these conditions wreak havoc on the cardiovascular system, so the major concern with both high blood pressure and high cholesterol is the increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US, while stroke is the fifth-highest cause.
Reducing your blood pressure and/or cholesterol significantly reduces your chances of developing one of these life-threatening conditions, and one of the best ways to reduce these is to lose weight.
WebMD estimates that losing just 20 pounds can cause a 5-20mmHg drop in your systolic blood pressure. CNNHealth states that a modest weight loss of just 5-10% of your current weight can have a significant impact on your LDL cholesterol.
That’s why Dr. Maria Shelton, a doctor of naturopathic medicine and doctor of natural medicine here in Tampa Bay, developed the NutriFit40 Weight Loss and Wellness Center to help her patients dealing with hypertension or hypercholesterolemia lose weight safely and effectively.
