Dr. Ruth also said Mariva SpS, hypertension or blood pressure sustained above the normal threshold is a major risk factor for stroke and causes occurred coronary heart disease.

Hypertension often leads to complications that eventually lead to an interruption in the heart, stroke, kidney dysfunction, and arterial disease (peripheral blood vessels).

One group undergo weight-loss program with portion controlled meals and exercise programs 175 minutes per week.

The second group did not receive advice to lose weight and participate in the diabetes management program. One year later, the group who undergo weight-loss program lost an average of 24 pounds, while the second group only lost weight more than 1 pound.

Those who were in the weight-loss group three times more likely to lose sleep disorders and has about half the serious condition of sleep disturbance compared with the second group. In addition, the study showed that people who are in the second group have symptoms of sleep disorders worse.

"These results show that doctors and patients can expect a big improvement in their symptoms of sleep disturbance with weight loss," said researcher Gary Foster, director of the Center for Obesity Research and Education at Temple University, said in a press release.

"And the reduced symptoms of sleep disturbance has a number of benefits for the health and overall health," he said.

Symptoms The most common sleep disorder occurs in people who are overweight and obese. Sleep disturbance caused loud snoring and sleep disorders as a result of the airways become temporarily blocked during sleep.
