If focus means having an ultimate goal, direction is having a day-to-day strategy to achieve it. A lack of direction kills motivation because without an obvious next action we succumb to procrastination. An example of this is a person who wants to have a popular blog, but who spends more time reading posts about blogging than actually writing articles.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The key to finding direction is identifying the activities that lead to success. For every goal, there are activities that pay off and those that don’t. Make a list of all your activities and arrange them based on results. Then make a make an action plan that focuses on the activities that lead to big returns. To continue the example from above, a blogger’s list would look something like this:</span><br /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Keeping track of your most important tasks will direct your energy towards success. Without a constant reminder, it’s easy to waste entire days on filler activities like reading RSS feeds, email, and random web surfing.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When my motivation starts to wane, I regain direction by creating a plan that contains two positive actions. The first one should be a small task you’ve been meaning to do, while the second should be a long-term goal. I immediately do the smaller task. This creates positive momentum. After that I take the first step towards achieving the long-term goal. Doing this periodically is great for getting out of a slump, creating positive reinforcement, and getting long-term plans moving.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It’s inevitable that you’ll encounter periods of low energy, bad luck, and even the occasional failure. If you don’t discipline your mind, these minor speed bumps can turn into mental monsters. By being on guard against the top 3 motivation killers you can preserve your motivation and propel yourself to success.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">How to Boost Confidence:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The first motivation killer is a lack of confidence. When this happens to me, it’s usually because I’m focusing entirely on what I want and neglecting what I already have. When you only think about what you want, your mind creates explanations for why you aren’t getting it. This creates negative thoughts. Past failures, bad breaks, and personal weaknesses dominate your mind. You become jealous of your competitors and start making excuses for why you can’t succeed. In this state, you tend to make a bad impression, assume the worst about others, and lose self confidence.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The way to get out of this thought pattern is to focus on gratitude. Set aside time to focus on everything positive in your life. Make a mental list of your strengths, past successes, and current advantages. We tend to take our strengths for granted and dwell on our failures. By making an effort to feel grateful, you’ll realize how competent and successful you already are. This will rejuvenate your confidence and get you motivated to build on your current success.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It might sound strange that repeating things you already know can improve your mindset, but it’s amazingly effective. The mind distorts reality to confirm what it wants to believe. The more negatively you think, the more examples your mind will discover to confirm that belief. When you truly believe that you deserve success, your mind will generate ways to achieve it. The best way to bring success to yourself is to genuinely desire to create value for the rest of the world.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Write content</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Research relevant topics</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Network with other bloggers</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Optimize design and ad placements</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Answer comments and email</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Read other blogs.</span><br /><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz_0IFdOY4t3j9SAGktBF7f6-TPKODRRzrA-B5Zak6FQSL17h1lKQLgU_YGVqKF3UZ4zbiFl0K6EP6Gk2IX1cvHaZcLmzqD2oTnsySpZDEjmn1TPYX1DZYypn2LLvJnHnlaCpkb3H-WhMw/s1600/images+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz_0IFdOY4t3j9SAGktBF7f6-TPKODRRzrA-B5Zak6FQSL17h1lKQLgU_YGVqKF3UZ4zbiFl0K6EP6Gk2IX1cvHaZcLmzqD2oTnsySpZDEjmn1TPYX1DZYypn2LLvJnHnlaCpkb3H-WhMw/s1600/images+(1).jpg" /></a></div><br /></div>

Lectures with hundreds of students can make one feel no bigger than a worm. And even smaller classes can make you feel low when it seems like the student in the front row has all the answers. Luckily, like every other skill, confidence can be learned and increased over time—especially if you follow our 15 practical tips:</span></div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">1. Turn off the little voice.</div></span><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">6. Make all the classes.</div></span><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">Everyone has a part of themselves that, from time to time, whispers defeating messages: "You're not good enough for college," "Everyone here is more qualified than you," "You'll never pass that midterm." But don't listen. Remind yourself that you've accomplished a lot before getting into this college and that, if you didn't have what it takes to succeed, they wouldn't have admitted you.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">2. Reward achievements.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">Everyone feels better when they give themselves some recognition for a job well done, even a small accomplishment. Get yourself a slice of pizza or a latte for that 10 on the quiz. The positive reinforcement will make it easier for you to study for next week's quiz—and the $3 investment will show you that your achievements, too, are something worth celebrating.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">4. Realize you're not alone.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">Everyone thinks they're the only one, but a recent study shows that one-third of college students feel inadequate after the very first semester. We can tell you from our own experience that a majority of students have doubts at one time or other about their ability to do the work. If you're feeling unsure of yourself, keep in mind that you're in distinguished company: Most of your friends are going through (or have gone through) just what you're experiencing now.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">5. Take something you're good at.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">Each semester, in spite of the distribution requirements and courses you need for your major, take at least one course you enjoy—and will likely do well in. Constantly struggling at courses that are very challenging saps your strength and can, over time, undermine your confidence.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">4. Start small.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">Try taking a few small risks to help you overcome some of your fears. Maybe you could ask (or answer) a question in discussion section. Or approach a professor with a question before or after class. Once you've broken the ice, even a little, you'll begin to feel more secure.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">5.Extra Pointer.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">Low risk activities, built right into the course, provide an excellent opportunity to build your confidence. Getting a check-plus on a little homework assignment, or a 10 on the weekly quiz, can do wonders for your self-esteem.</div></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">It's hard to feel confident about yourself when you're missing key pieces of the course, pieces that prevent you from doing well and, hence, feeling confident. Students who pop into class erratically have much greater trouble understanding and following the lectures that they do attend. And they have much more trouble answering questions on tests that depend on material in classes they missed.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">7. Take a small class.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">Even though it might seem less scary to hide in the anonymity of a huge lecture hall, taking a small class can offer a more supportive and nurturing environment for learning.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">8. Get feedback early.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">Your confidence can soar if you consult with your professor (or TA) early in the semester. Whether it's about a point in the lecture you didn't understand, your initial ideas for a paper, or worries about how to prepare for a test, you will feel immeasurably better after you instructor steers you in the right direction, or assures you that you're already going in the right direction. Many students lacking in confidence are too scared to talk to their professors. This only makes their problem worse.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">9.<span style="font-size: large;"> Divide big tasks into small pieces.</span></div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">Many students doubt their ability to write a 15-page research paper or prepare for a comprehensive final. But if they conceived of the paper as three five-page pieces and the final as five three-week units, the task would suddenly seem seems a lot more do-able. And the feeling of accomplishment generated when one part of the project is completed would help propel them to finish the rest of the work.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">10. Do a trial run.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">Many college projects allow you to do a no-risk practice round before the real thing. Taking a practice test at home before the midterm, trying out your oral presentation on the TA before the section meeting, discussing answers to the study guide with your study group before the final—all of these are things you can do to build your confidence before the actual event. And if your cohorts or instructor says a few kind words about your ideas—and if you believe they mean them—well, that can help, too.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">11. Take comments constructively.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">Many students see every mark on their paper as a biting criticism and, hence, ignore them entirely. Train yourself to view the comments in a more positive light, as ways the professor is trying to help you do better on the next piece of work (rather than sink your ship). Learning how to use the comments to improve, even after a not so impressive start, can be the best confidence booster of all.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">14. Recognize that learning is a process.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">If you expect to master a new field right off the bat, or be able to write a bang-up research paper when you've never written one before, you set yourself up for a let-down—and for a crisis of confidence. Be patient with yourself as you start on new tasks or skills. Think back on skills you mastered in the past (whether it's snowboarding, poker, or vegan cooking) and remember what it was like when you first started.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">12. Apply for a prize. Many.</div></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">departments have various prize competitions for their majors or for all students at the college.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It's easy to feel a lack of confidence at college. Lectures with hundreds of students can make one feel no bigger than a worm. And even smaller classes can make you feel low when it seems like the student in the front row has all the answers. Luckily, like every other skill, confidence can be learned and increased over time—especially if you follow our 15 practical tips:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">
1. Turn off the little voice.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
 </div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">
6. Make all the classes.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Everyone has a part of themselves that, from time to time, whispers defeating messages: "You're not good enough for college," "Everyone here is more qualified than you," "You'll never pass that midterm." But don't listen. Remind yourself that you've accomplished a lot before getting into this college and that, if you didn't have what it takes to succeed, they wouldn't have admitted you.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">
2. Reward achievements.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Everyone feels better when they give themselves some recognition for a job well done, even a small accomplishment. Get yourself a slice of pizza or a latte for that 10 on the quiz. The positive reinforcement will make it easier for you to study for next week's quiz—and the $3 investment will show you that your achievements, too, are something worth celebrating.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">
4. Realize you're not alone.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Everyone thinks they're the only one, but a recent study shows that one-third of college students feel inadequate after the very first semester. We can tell you from our own experience that a majority of students have doubts at one time or other about their ability to do the work. If you're feeling unsure of yourself, keep in mind that you're in distinguished company: Most of your friends are going through (or have gone through) just what you're experiencing now.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">
5. Take something you're good at.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Each semester, in spite of the distribution requirements and courses you need for your major, take at least one course you enjoy—and will likely do well in. Constantly struggling at courses that are very challenging saps your strength and can, over time, undermine your confidence.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">
4. Start small.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Try taking a few small risks to help you overcome some of your fears. Maybe you could ask (or answer) a question in discussion section. Or approach a professor with a question before or after class. Once you've broken the ice, even a little, you'll begin to feel more secure.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">
5.Extra Pointer.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Low risk activities, built right into the course, provide an excellent opportunity to build your confidence. Getting a check-plus on a little homework assignment, or a 10 on the weekly quiz, can do wonders for your self-esteem.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
It's hard to feel confident about yourself when you're missing key pieces of the course, pieces that prevent you from doing well and, hence, feeling confident. Students who pop into class erratically have much greater trouble understanding and following the lectures that they do attend. And they have much more trouble answering questions on tests that depend on material in classes they missed.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">
7. Take a small class.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Even though it might seem less scary to hide in the anonymity of a huge lecture hall, taking a small class can offer a more supportive and nurturing environment for learning.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">
8. Get feedback early.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Your confidence can soar if you consult with your professor (or TA) early in the semester. Whether it's about a point in the lecture you didn't understand, your initial ideas for a paper, or worries about how to prepare for a test, you will feel immeasurably better after you instructor steers you in the right direction, or assures you that you're already going in the right direction. Many students lacking in confidence are too scared to talk to their professors. This only makes their problem worse.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
9.<span style="font-size: large;"> Divide big tasks into small pieces.</span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Many students doubt their ability to write a 15-page research paper or prepare for a comprehensive final. But if they conceived of the paper as three five-page pieces and the final as five three-week units, the task would suddenly seem seems a lot more do-able. And the feeling of accomplishment generated when one part of the project is completed would help propel them to finish the rest of the work.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">
10. Do a trial run.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Many college projects allow you to do a no-risk practice round before the real thing. Taking a practice test at home before the midterm, trying out your oral presentation on the TA before the section meeting, discussing answers to the study guide with your study group before the final—all of these are things you can do to build your confidence before the actual event. And if your cohorts or instructor says a few kind words about your ideas—and if you believe they mean them—well, that can help, too.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">
11. Take comments constructively.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Many students see every mark on their paper as a biting criticism and, hence, ignore them entirely. Train yourself to view the comments in a more positive light, as ways the professor is trying to help you do better on the next piece of work (rather than sink your ship). Learning how to use the comments to improve, even after a not so impressive start, can be the best confidence booster of all.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">
14. Recognize that learning is a process.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
If you expect to master a new field right off the bat, or be able to write a bang-up research paper when you've never written one before, you set yourself up for a let-down—and for a crisis of confidence. Be patient with yourself as you start on new tasks or skills. Think back on skills you mastered in the past (whether it's snowboarding, poker, or vegan cooking) and remember what it was like when you first started.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">
12. Apply for a prize. Many.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
departments have various prize competitions for their majors or for all students at the college. And lots of times, the competition isn't as bad as you might think—so give it a whirl. Winning even a $10 gift card or a mention on the plaque in the department office can be a real confidence booster.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">
13. Look for real-world apps.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
A chance to work at an inner-city clinic (if you're in a health care field), or at an engineering consultant firm (if you're interested in waste-management systems), or even an insurance office (if you're studying marketing) can give you a real shot in the arm. Seeing how what you've learned in college can have real worth in the real world will build your confidence like nothing else. And then, when you return to college next fall, thus dull, dreary lectures won't seem quite so meaningless.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">
15. Avoid the bubble busters.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
You know who we mean: the people who, no matter, how good your achievement, can always find something wrong. For some students, it's their parents; for others, it's their perfectionistic professor or adviser; and, for still others, it's the person who shares their digs with them. Adopt a "don't ask, don't tell" policy toward such naysayers: They won't ask how you're doing, and you won't tell them about your successes. </div>

This increases the volume of blood circulating through your blood vessels, which boosts pressure on your artery walls. Getting to a healthy weight, meaning a BMI under 25, cuts your risk of high blood pressure by 40 percent. (If you're 5-foot-4 and 140 pounds or less, that puts you in the healthy zone.) Not even medication affects blood pressure as much as losing weight. For every 20 pounds you trim, you can drop blood pressure by up to 20 points.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Get moving:</span><br /> Doing 30 minutes of vigorous exercise every day can make a big difference. After all, your heart is a muscle. The more you work out, the more efficiently it pumps blood, which keeps vessels flexible.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Eat smart:</span><br /> The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet can significantly reduce blood pressure in as little as two weeks. This eating plan is low in sodium and rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes. It also recommends low-fat dairy products, whole grains, and nutrients that help control blood pressure, like potassium, calcium, magnesium, and fiber.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Cook more</span>:<br /> Help shake your salt habit by cooking more whole foods at home and avoiding the drive-through. Check labels of canned, frozen, and packaged foods and pick ones that are the lowest in sodium.

When you're stressed your body produces a surge of hormones, like adrenaline and cortisol, which helps you conquer deadlines. But this may also cause a temporary spike in blood pressure by making your heart beat faster and your blood vessels narrow. Relaxation techniques like deep breathing and meditation can help reduce the pressure.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Log enough sleep:</span><br /> Getting less than six hours of sleep a night dramatically increases the risk of high blood pressure, especially in the childbearing years, according to a 2010 study in the Journal of Hypertension. Sleep keeps stress hormones in check and helps your nervous system remain healthy by recharging your batteries.<br /><span style="font-size: large;">Hypertension and Pregnancy</span><br />Up to 8 percent of pregnant women get hypertension, which can be extremely dangerous for mom and baby. It's increasing as women are getting heavier and having babies later.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Gestational hypertension</span>, which usually develops after the 20th week of pregnancy, can cause premature delivery and puts you at risk for stroke or cardiac arrest. It also makes you more likely to develop heart or kidney disease later in life. It's usually controlled with medication or by delivering the baby.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Preeclampsia,</span> a more serious condition that can happen if you're over 40 or carrying twins or triplets, prevents the placenta from getting enough blood, depriving the fetus of oxygen and vital nutrients.

<span style="font-size: large;">Natural Ways to Reduce Your BP</span><br />
Lifestyle changes can shrink your risk of high blood pressure by a whopping 78 percent, research shows, even if you have a family history.<br />
<br />
Lose weight: Extra pounds are the top predictor of high blood pressure in women, says a 2009 <span style="font-size: large;">Harvard study. </span><br />

BP Tips<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sodium Shocker</span><br />
<br />
Sodium can really add up over the course of your day. It's not hard to imagine eating these three meals, which deliver more than three times the recommended daily sodium intake of 1,500 milligrams.<br />
<br />
<b>Breakfast</b><br />
<br />
2 slices whole wheat toast with jam: 307mg<br />
<br />
2 slices bacon: 370mg<br />
<br />
2 large eggs: 358mg<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Dinner</b><br />
<br />
Spaghetti and Meatballs<br />
<br />
1 cup spaghetti: 325mg<br />
<br />
1/2 cup marinara sauce: 527mg<br />
<br />
4 meatballs, made with seasoned bread crumbs: 743mg<br />
<br />
Salad<br />
<br />
2 tablespoons low-fat ranch dressing: 330mg<br />
Lunch<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Turkey Sandwich</b><br />
<br />
2 slices deli turkey: 508mg<br />
<br />
1 slice provolone cheese: 249mg<br />
<br />
2 slices whole wheat bread: 292mg<br />
<br />
1 tablespoon light mayo: 78mg<br />
<br />
1 teaspoon mustard: 57mg<br />
<br />
1 cup minestrone: 698mg<br />
<br />
<b>How Low Should You Go?</b><br />
Blood pressure is expressed as a ratio.<br />
<br />
<b>Systolic</b>, the top number, is the pressure in your blood vessels while your heart contracts to pump blood to your body.<br />
<br />
<b>Diastolic,</b> the lower number, represents the pressure when your heart relaxes between beats.<br />
<br />
If your blood pressure is 90/60 to 119/79, that's considered normal. If you're 120/80 to 130/89, that's called pre-hypertensive and you should be monitored carefully. Once you hit 140/90, you officially have hypertension and need treatment.<br />

The Fact And Control The High Blood Pressure Very Easy

Also, hypertension can hit during pregnancy and pose grave health consequences for expectant mothers and their babies. Genetics plays a role, too: If hypertension runs in your family, your risks are higher.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Millions of women may have a potentially life-threatening condition and not know it. Uncontrolled high blood pressure, or hypertension, has declined among men over the past decade but increased among American women -- about 25 percent of us now have it. And it contributes to more deaths in women than any other preventable factor, according to a 2009 Harvard University study. While you should be concerned if your cholesterol is high, having hypertension is much more likely to kill you than high LDL cholesterol is, says Michael F. Roizen, MD, chief wellness officer at the Cleveland Clinic and a member of the LHJ Medical Advisory Board.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ignoring high blood pressure is a recipe for disaster. "The chronic wear and tear on your blood vessels is like driving a car with tires at too high a pressure," says Mary Ann Bauman, MD, an internal medicine specialist in Oklahoma City and spokesperson for the American Heart Association. "Eventually they're going to blow or simply not last as long as they should."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Because hypertension has almost no symptoms, and so many women aren't seeing a doctor regularly, it often goes undetected for years. Yet the excessive pressure of blood coursing through your arteries can cause stretching, weakness, scarring, increased risk of blood clots, and other damage. It can harden your arteries, which may lead to a stroke or heart attack. Weakness in the blood vessel walls can create an aneurysm (abnormal ballooning of a portion of an artery), which is life-threatening if it ruptures. Because of hardening of the arteries, or the increased volume of blood from too much salt, the heart has to work harder to pump blood, which could eventually result in heart failure. Since high blood pressure limits blood flow, organs don't get enough vital nutrients, so your kidneys might fail and your brain won't function as well, causing problems with memory and learning.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">That's why it's vital to get tested regularly throughout your life and practice prevention. "Now is the time to be vigilant. The younger you are, the easier it is to make corrections," says Suzanne Oparil, MD, director of the Vascular Biology and Hypertension Program at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. Here's what you need to know to prevent lasting damage.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Salt Connection</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In many cases doctors aren't sure what causes hypertension, but age, family history, and lifestyle factors all play a role. And for many women eating too much salt plays a part, too. Your kidneys, which normally control your sodium level, become overloaded, so the extra salt spills into your bloodstream. Because salt makes you retain fluid, it bulks up the volume of blood flowing through your blood vessels. This increases the pressure pushing against the walls of your arteries and boom -- you now have hypertension.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Unfortunately, the average American woman eats about 3,000 milligrams of sodium a day, double the recommended dose of up to 1,500 milligrams (about two-thirds of a teaspoon). The salt shaker at home usually isn't the problem. Most sodium intake comes from fast foods (like burgers and pizza), restaurant dishes of all kinds, and processed foods, such as pickles, ham, bacon, salsa, cheese, cold cuts, olives, canned soups, even bread and meat.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The effects can be even worse for the more than two out of three adults who are ultrasensitive to sodium. This group includes everyone over the age of 40 (blood vessels lose their elasticity as you get older) and African Americans, who experts believe are genetically programmed to be more sensitive to salt.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Still, food makers think regulating sodium isn't the best solution since salt helps create structure in bread, encourages browning of baked goods, and acts as a food preservative. A voluntary plan is a better strategy, argues Melissa Musiker, a registered dietitian and director of science policy, nutrition, and health for the Grocery Manufacturers Association in Washington, D.C. "The food industry should provide more low-sodium products, and consumers need to be aware and monitor their intake."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Researchers have shown that if Americans managed to cut their sodium intake in half, it could save at least 150,000 lives a year. But consumption is going up. In 2010 the Institute of Medicine called for the FDA to regulate salt in processed foods. "Sodium is so prevalent in all food groups it's almost impossible for consumers to manage the situation on their own," says Jane E. Henney, MD, professor of medicine at the University of Cincinnati.</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqLh0sjOJUqmMztOdnl7lMtxl3CWOwdvUUYivX3QZionVknfyTp84puC0zjgOz7CZ93FEhO3qH_ZVFgVbehdEQekqSDSqLoHsNqn8XboM1K29dYyctXN1CPvoLCwdMa7d-5X8PnTt-JO8T/s1600/images+(19).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqLh0sjOJUqmMztOdnl7lMtxl3CWOwdvUUYivX3QZionVknfyTp84puC0zjgOz7CZ93FEhO3qH_ZVFgVbehdEQekqSDSqLoHsNqn8XboM1K29dYyctXN1CPvoLCwdMa7d-5X8PnTt-JO8T/s1600/images+(19).jpg" width="336" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Facts:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">More young women are being stricken with high blood pressure because of rising obesity and stress in their lives. Also, hypertension can hit during pregnancy and pose grave health consequences for expectant mothers and their babies. Genetics plays a role, too: If hypertension runs in your family, your risks are higher.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Millions of women may have a potentially life-threatening condition and not know it. Uncontrolled high blood pressure, or hypertension, has declined among men over the past decade but increased among American women -- about 25 percent of us now have it. And it contributes to more deaths in women than any other preventable factor, according to a 2009 Harvard University study. While you should be concerned if your cholesterol is high, having hypertension is much more likely to kill you than high LDL cholesterol is, says Michael F. Roizen, MD, chief wellness officer at the Cleveland Clinic and a member of the LHJ Medical Advisory Board.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ignoring high blood pressure is a recipe for disaster. "The chronic wear and tear on your blood vessels is like driving a car with tires at too high a pressure," says Mary Ann Bauman, MD, an internal medicine specialist in Oklahoma City and spokesperson for the American Heart Association. "Eventually they're going to blow or simply not last as long as they should."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Because hypertension has almost no symptoms, and so many women aren't seeing a doctor regularly, it often goes undetected for years. Yet the excessive pressure of blood coursing through your arteries can cause stretching, weakness, scarring, increased risk of blood clots, and other damage. It can harden your arteries, which may lead to a stroke or heart attack. Weakness in the blood vessel walls can create an aneurysm (abnormal ballooning of a portion of an artery), which is life-threatening if it ruptures. Because of hardening of the arteries, or the increased volume of blood from too much salt, the heart has to work harder to pump blood, which could eventually result in heart failure. Since high blood pressure limits blood flow, organs don't get enough vital nutrients, so your kidneys might fail and your brain won't function as well, causing problems with memory and learning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">That's why it's vital to get tested regularly throughout your life and practice prevention. "Now is the time to be vigilant. The younger you are, the easier it is to make corrections," says Suzanne Oparil, MD, director of the Vascular Biology and Hypertension Program at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. Here's what you need to know to prevent lasting damage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Salt Connection</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In many cases doctors aren't sure what causes hypertension, but age, family history, and lifestyle factors all play a role. And for many women eating too much salt plays a part, too. Your kidneys, which normally control your sodium level, become overloaded, so the extra salt spills into your bloodstream. Because salt makes you retain fluid, it bulks up the volume of blood flowing through your blood vessels. This increases the pressure pushing against the walls of your arteries and boom -- you now have hypertension.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Unfortunately, the average American woman eats about 3,000 milligrams of sodium a day, double the recommended dose of up to 1,500 milligrams (about two-thirds of a teaspoon). The salt shaker at home usually isn't the problem. Most sodium intake comes from fast foods (like burgers and pizza), restaurant dishes of all kinds, and processed foods, such as pickles, ham, bacon, salsa, cheese, cold cuts, olives, canned soups, even bread and meat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The effects can be even worse for the more than two out of three adults who are ultrasensitive to sodium. This group includes everyone over the age of 40 (blood vessels lose their elasticity as you get older) and African Americans, who experts believe are genetically programmed to be more sensitive to salt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Still, food makers think regulating sodium isn't the best solution since salt helps create structure in bread, encourages browning of baked goods, and acts as a food preservative. A voluntary plan is a better strategy, argues Melissa Musiker, a registered dietitian and director of science policy, nutrition, and health for the Grocery Manufacturers Association in Washington, D.C. "The food industry should provide more low-sodium products, and consumers need to be aware and monitor their intake."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Researchers have shown that if Americans managed to cut their sodium intake in half, it could save at least 150,000 lives a year. But consumption is going up. In 2010 the Institute of Medicine called for the FDA to regulate salt in processed foods. "Sodium is so prevalent in all food groups it's almost impossible for consumers to manage the situation on their own," says Jane E. Henney, MD, professor of medicine at the University of Cincinnati.</span><br />

"It puts more pressure on disks and vertebrae than standing or walking," Dr. Katz says. Alleviate the tension with an office makeover. Start with a lumbar-support cushion, such as the Original McKenzie SlimLine ($19, isokineticsinc.com). Then adjust your seat so your computer monitor is at eye level, your arms and knees are bent at a 90-degree angle, and your feet rest on the floor. Finally, go to workrave.org to download a free program that flashes screen reminders to take computer breaks as often as you schedule them.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Back breaker: You ignore your c</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">ore.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When you hear the word core, you picture six-pack abs. But your core is composed of much more: Back, side, pelvic, and buttock muscles all work together, along with your abs, to allow you to bend, twist, rotate, and stand upright. "Your core is like a crane that supports all of your movements," Dr. Moyad says. Unlike crunches, which focus solely on abdominal muscles, core exercises — lunges, squats, planks, and others — strengthen several spine-supporting muscle groups at once.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Back breaker: You're a screen queen.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Nine hours — that's how long the average person spends hunched over or slouched in front of a screen each day. A Temple University study suggested that increased texting on our latest tech obsessions — smartphones and tablets — is creating more aches and pains in our shoulders, necks, and backs. "It's important to take breaks, do neck exercises, and occasionally hold your phone or tablet out in front of you," says Deborah Venesy, MD, a doctor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at the Cleveland Clinic Center for Spine Health. For a simple neck reliever, hold your head for 10 seconds in each of the following positions: forward, back, left, and right. Repeat this five times a day.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Back breaker: You baby your back.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lying down minimizes stress on the lumbar spine; however, staying sedentary for more than a day or two can actually prolong and worsen pain. In a new study from Sweden, back pain sufferers who remained active recovered more quickly and felt less depressed than those who took it easy. "Low-impact activities like walking and swimming boost blood flow to back muscles while relieving pain and stiffness," Dr. Venesy says. Yoga, with its emphasis on stretching and strengthening, may be one of the most effective spine soothers. After three months of weekly sessions, 60 percent of back-pain sufferers who participated in an Archives of Internal Medicine study reported less discomfort, and 40 percent were able to cut back on pain meds.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Incorporate these moves into your strength routine a few times a week</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Back breaker: You sleep on your stomach.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The bedtime belly flop places pressure on joints and muscles, but sleeping on your side or back keeps your spine elongated and neutral.

Regardless of your slumber sweet spot, go with a medium mattress (check the manufacturer's scale of firmness and opt for one in the middle range) and a pillow that keeps your head in line with your spine. Research in the Lancet found that people with chronic low-back pain who snoozed on medium mattresses had fewer aches after three months than those who slept on firm beds. So take a tip from Goldilocks: Your bed should be not too hard (this wreaks havoc on hips and shoulders) and not too soft (this puts your back and joints out of whack).</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Back breaker: You like to light up.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Cigarettes aren't just hell on your heart and lungs.
