Hypertension, the extensive problem found in all age groups has created a panic throughout the world, as its proper and harmless cure is still not confirmed even by the physicians of the modern world. Hypertension in its definition means a condition where the blood pressure is higher than the normal.

There are several causes of hypertension but the major ones are:

Hormonal imbalance (increased secretion of epinephrine)
Food habits (Excessive intake of oily foods)
Age factors (narrowing of the arteries due to deposition of fat in them making the arterial wall narrower thereby which in turn increases the flow of blood)

Hypertension has drastic consequences like:
Strokes
Heart attacks
Heart Failure
Arterial aneurysm
Renal/Kidney Failure

It is true that hypertension could be controlled through intake of several allopathic drugs like - ACE inhibitors, terazosin, propranolol, amlodipine, bendroflumethiazide etc. though there are several hundreds besides them. But it is mostly found that there are always some side effects associated with them.

The burning question! Is it fully curable? The answer for this is same for all deadly illness Every disease is curable but...? The statement continues. Anyway in this article I would like to focus how to control the problem of hypertension through Yoga practices.

Hypertension is mainly caused by improper working of arteries and heart which is ultimately controlled by our brain impulse. So if we are able to calm our brain its possible to calm our body parts too. Yoga provides a unique technique to handle this. Practices of several Yoga asanas (Postures) and Dhyana (Meditation) has proved beneficial to several high blood pressure patients.

Postures includes bending of legs and sitting in a fixed position, slow movement of neck in circular directions, lying on the floor over the front and bring legs closer to back etc., this relaxes the muscles which ultimately strengthens the blood vessels.

The other technique includes meditation which is considered to be the best weapon against hypertension, this is one of the most ancient technique used for managing stress and other mental disorders. But some recent studies have shown that meditation even help in control hypertension because hypertension is caused by more or less a mental disorder. meditation or Dhyana involves severe concentration of mind over one point, in order to do medication bring yourself in a relax able posture you like, after that concentrate your mind (Not eye, as we found in many books / articles which focus our eye over one object, it is entirely different phenomenon used to sharpen memory and has nothing to do with mental ailments) over any object with eyes shut. practice this method in several body postures regularly and ultimately you will find your mind in calm position thereby helping in coping with your Hypertension.

Now-a-days several modern health organizations are promoting yoga for treating the hypertension and launching campaigns and workshops for the people to follow several Yoga guidelines in its treatment against Hypertension.

With the new play station 3 you can still play all the old games and you can now watch blue Ray disks on it as well. The only bad thing about the ps3 is that you cannot watch regular DVDs on it because it cannot read the disks. It is only made to read blue Ray disks.

You can still get the ps2 if you are not going to like the ps3. I personally like the xbox 360 way better then ps3. The PS3 is just an expensive toy that doesn't do nearly as much as the Xbox 360 can in my opinion. I have owned both systems over the last few years and I have always liked the xbox the best but it is still a matter of personal preference.

You might as well get a PSP if you want to play games because with all the DVDS you probably own why would you buy a system that cannot play them? So go get either a regular play station 2 or an Xbox 360 and save some money.

You can get all kinds of accessories for your play station 2 to make it cool. All you need to do is go online and look for what type of things you like. You can get extra controllers or more games whatever it is that you like. just go to a site like ours and look around at what they have to offer you never know you might find something that you like and that you want for your game system. I know they have a lot of things for the Xbox so I know they will have quite a few things for the Sony play station too.

Some of the games that you can get for children include mlb 07 - The Show, Meet The Robinsons, and NBA Street. Adult oriented games include God of war, Gran Turismo, Grand Theft Auto san andreas, and Medal of Honor.

Some other notable games include Socum U.S. Navy Seals, 300 - March to Glory, Prince of Persia, and Rocky Balboa.

The gaming industry is one of the largest and fast growing industries on the planet and companies spend millions of dollars producing some of the most popular games such as Halo 3 for xbox. You can rest assured that they will continue to do research and development to create better game systems and exciting and fun to play games. The games seem to be more real every year and I envision games in the near future that will be more like an interactive hologram that allows the player to actually seem to be in the game itself. I can't wait for that technology, I may even stand in line for that.
