After strong consumer pressure the European Commission states that all ingredients in food products must be declared. Only ingredients contained in the product in very small quantities, should be excluded. There must also be a list of allergenic substances that must always be included on the labeling  if found in the food. The new labeling rules must apply to both food and wine, because wine contains sulfites, which very many people cannot tolerate.

For years, the rules have been designed so that they protects the economic interests of producers, because they do not have to declare ingredients, either natural or artificial, even if they represent less than 25 percent of the finished product.

40 percent of  English people between 30 and 70 years of age have high blood pressure.
Only half of the Britains over 40 years know their blood pressure.
Between 12,000 and 14,000 people affected each year by stroke (blood clot in the brain, or cerebral hemorrhage).
Over 50,000 lives from WITH consequences.
A blood pressure of 140/90 is considered a normal blood pressure. More than a million adults in the UK have high blood pressure. But it is only half, who is aware of it, even though the disease increases the risk of blood clots and brain bleeding significantly.

High blood pressure is costing  society each year many resources in terms of lost earnings, hospital admissions and premature death for citizens. But especially on a personal level the impact can be very extensive, since high blood pressure increases the risk of blood clots in the brain and brain bleeding significantly, just as the whole 2,000 Danes die each year as a result of high blood pressure. Anyway, there is as yet no official Danish plan on how the fight against high blood-pressure will be optimized.

An action plan for better blood pressure
"The current effort against elevated blood pressure is simply not good enough. As it is today, discovered the elevated blood pressure often only when the patient has suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage or embolism. It is not good enough, when high blood pressure can be readily diagnosed, and when treatment options are good and easily accessible ". So says Chief Consultant Helle Rasmussen from Lif and points out that the first step on the way to bring down the problems as a result of high blood pressure could be that all persons over 45 years of age each year measured their blood pressure.

This point of view, Ibsen, as His chief medical officer is Denmark's leading specialist in hypertension, agrees.

"There is only one way for realization of high blood pressure, and it is to measure it. This does not mean that all people who have a slightly elevated blood pressure, in medical treatment, but if half a year of healthy life style, for example, has not worked, then it will be both unreasonable and indefensible not to treat the people medical".

Are you fresh when you get up in the morning? If not, it is a sign that you have not slept enough.

On the other hand, it is not so obvious that it can be harmful not to sleep enough, despite the fact that you feel fresh. It's the american ­sleep doctor Lawrance j. Epstein of Harvard Medical School, who, among other things. is for the father of the book "Guide to a Good night's Sleep", which draws attention to this problem.

The exact sleep ­ needs vary, but as a starting point, the adults need 7-10 hours of sleep each night.

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania has previously conducted experiments in which participants only got 6 hours sleep every night for 2 weeks. At the end of this experiment, it turned out that brain activity was similar to that of a person who hadn't slept for 2 whole days.

For most of the morning haters suffer from too low blood pressure (hypotonia). When they stand up, pouring blood down into the veins in the legs when they stand. This gives the brain too little oxygen, and you get dizzy or faint briefly.

In contrast to high blood pressure too low blood pressure is not a disease, but "only" a functional disorder, which is either a response to a disease (heart disease or hormonal disorder) or is hereditary.

Here are some tips on how to stop this and make you feel more awake.

Bath with alternating cold and warm water combined with brush massage can provide an active start to a new day for those who don't like to get up.

Connective tissue massage has an excellent effect on a blood pressure that is too low. Talk to your doctor-he may want to. give you a referral if you have needs for connective tissue massage.
And if you still feel tired during the day, so put your forearms in cold water for 1-2 minutes and massage them. then wipe thoroughly. This puts you in the blood circulation.
