Lowering Blood Pressure and Cholesterol – Without Medication

Description

In this lecture, you will learn about the health effects of consistently high blood pressure. It affects vessels, the heart, and the brain, and why early prevention is so crucial. We will also explore the key factors influencing our blood pressure and heart health. You will learn how to naturally regulate and lower elevated blood pressure. We will present practical strategies – from heart-healthy nutrition to targeted relaxation techniques and simple physical activity impulses that can be easily integrated into everyday life. The topic of cholesterol will also be explained clearly: Why does our body need cholesterol? What distinguishes HDL from LDL cholesterol? And which values are actually relevant? Furthermore, we will discuss when cholesterol-lowering medications are medically sensible and necessary – and their role in the overall prevention concept. A special focus is on how cholesterol levels can be positively influenced through conscious nutrition. You will receive specific recommendations on fats, fiber, sugar, and hidden risk factors, as well as practical tips for implementation in daily life. Finally, you will learn about the measurable impact of regular exercise on lowering blood pressure and cholesterol – even without competitive sports. Cardiovascular diseases are no laughing matter, but knowledge is the best medicine. The course is aimed at everyone who wants to do something preventive for their heart health or already has elevated blood pressure or cholesterol levels and wants to lower them with supportive measures. No medical prior knowledge is required. Our speaker, Dr. Eva Hess, is a physician and NDS Medical Education at the University of Bern.
