Eating super foods like oat bran to prevent or
control hypertension

High Blood Pressure is arguably one of those very costly diseases which can empty
the pockets of a mediocre person. This disease is worth to be called silent killer as many
people suddenly get stroke due to it when they even don’t know they have hypertension, because
they cannot feel anything wrong about their health. When a person is diagnosed with
hypertension, he has to take out $500 to $900 for the first year, depending on the severity of
the situation. These expenses only include the professional fees, medication and laboratory
tests costs.
Diet and the lifestyle of a person are the
most important factors while considering the health of the person, because it is always better
to prevent the onset of the disease than curing it after its attack. Blood pressure is also
affected heavily by these. Blood pressure tends to rise of those people who eat a lot of meat,
saturated fat and cholesterol and are physically inactive to counter the effects of this
unhealthy diet. But eating more vegetables and fruits, avoiding fats and cholesterol causes the
blood pressure to drop and prevents the hypertension. The ‘nature’s broom’ is the name given to the
super foods like barley grass, wheat grass and especially the oat bran
because they clean out many toxins from the body, including the cholesterol and prevent them
from accumulating and blocking the blood vessels and colon, which would otherwise, cause these
organs to work hard and may cause kidney problems and raise the blood pressure. Together with
the healthy diet, regular exercise, these super foods can effectively lower down the blood
pressure and hence reduce the chances of cardiovascular and other lethal diseases. But still the
cost of this amazing thing is very low – for just 10 dollars you can buy 1 kg pack of
oat bran!
