Hypertension is a condition of abnormally high blood pressure, leading to symptoms of headaches, shortness of breath or nosebleeds......
Hypertension is a measurement with home systolic/ diastolic BP > or = 135/85 mmHg.
According to statistic, the prevalence of hypertension affects over 39.4% for men and 29.3% for women in the Western World.
Prolong untreated hypertension is found to induce complications of strokes, heart attacks, heart failure, or kidney disease.
Some researchers suggested that patients who are actively in modulated daily high blood pressure may be benefits in reduced risk of stroke by 35%, heart attack by 20%, and heart failure by 50%.
According to the WHO-based Healthy Diet Indicator (HDI), the American Heart Association 2006 Diet and Lifestyle Recommendations(4),
* The prevalence of untreated hypertension and treated hypertension was 22.4% and 8.5%.
* Patients with untreated hypertension had significantly lower HDI and AI-84 scores compared with non-hypertension.
* After adjusting for age, energy intake, smoking habit, alcohol drinking, physical activity and salt intake, a low adherence to HDI and a lowest quartile of AI-84 score were associated with a significantly higher prevalence of untreated hypertension, with an OR of 3.33 (95% CI 1.39 to 7.94, p=0.007) and 2.23 (1.09 to 4.53, p=0.027), respectively.
These results are agreed to general and popular belief that unhealthy diet plays an important role in the induction of high blood pressure. Furthermore, a lower dietary quality was associated with increased prevalence of untreated hypertension.
People who eat more fruits and vegetables in compared to average daily intake are associated to a significantly lower risk of hypertension.
Dr. Utsugi MT in the comparison of fruits and vegetable intake daily said, "the highest-tertile consumptions of fruits, vegetables, potassium, and vitamin C were associated with a significantly lower risk of hypertension (45%, 38%, 46%, and 43% lower risk of home hypertension, respectively(5)".
Aloe Vera is species of succulent plant in the genus Aloe, belonging to the Family Xanthorrhoeaceae, native to Sudan. It has become very popular for commercial cultivation due to enormous health benefits. Aloe vera has also been used in herbal medicine in treating many kinds of disease, including wound, burn healing, minor skin infections, sebaceous cysts, diabetes, and elevated of cholesterol,
According to the Hamdard University, aloe-emodin, aloin A, a chemical compound found in Aloe Vera showed to express hypotensive effects by lower mean arterial blood pressure by 26 %, 52 %, and 79 % in the corresponding doses of 0.5, 1, and 3 mg/kg in an animal study.
Dr. Saleem R, the lead author of the study suggested that Aloe-emodin has emerged as a potent hypotensive agent in the current pharmacological investigation.
In a total of In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, healthy, Aloe-emodin, another major chemical compound\ inhibited vascular smooth muscle stiffness, a condition in the development of hypertension, involved cell in support structural and biochemical and the interior surface of blood vessels.
In hypertension, increased large-artery stiffness is partly due to intrinsic mechanical properties of vascular smooth muscle cells.
More importantly, smooth muscle cells derived from hypertensive and control rats study, treatment of Aloe-emodin also significantly reduced hypertension by improving the elastic value of vascular smooth muscle cell, through its effects on vascular smooth muscle cell cytoskeletal proteins in regulated function of cell division.
Other researchers suggested that the antihypertensive properties of Aloe-emodin may be a result of inhibition of tonic tension and regulated apoptosis, pro- and anti-apoptotic activities on vascular smooth muscle cells.
With all the information collected, Aloe Vera may have an antihypertensive effect in regulated protein in cell production on vascular smooth muscle which is the main cause of high blood pressure, but more precisely understanding may be necessary to reassess this pharmaceutical value.
