With the food industry scrambling for new healthy incentives for buying their products, orange juice and other products that contain large amounts of vitamin C, just received great news from a recent study. According to Foxnews the study proves that vitamin C can lower blood pressure. According to the news story big doses of Vitamin C may moderately decrease blood pressure, Johns Hopkins researchers have discovered. However, scientists don’t advise people to begin consuming large amounts of the vitamin. Researchers led by Dr. Edgar “Pete” R. Miller, an associate professor in the division of general internal medicine at Hopkins, reviewed and studied data from 29 previous clinical trials and discovered by taking 500 milligrams of Vitamin C daily, or five times the recommended amount, patients would lower blood pressure by 3.84 millimeters. “Although our review found only a moderate impact on blood pressure, if the entire U.S. population lowered blood pressure by 3 milliliters of mercury, there would be a lot fewer strokes,” Miller said in a statement. However, Miller made it clear that none of the studies proved that vitamin C directly cures, eliminates, or reduces cardiovasculardisease, or its risks including stroke. High blood pressure is known as the silent killer because it often has no associated symptoms that are easy to pinpoint. Dr. StuartKincaid explains to patientswho are considering plasticsurgery that their blood pressure must be under control in order to be considered a candidate. Often women who are past childbearing age may not be aware that their blood pressure is elevated. Sometimes patients find out for the first time, that they have high blood pressure, when they are considering facial rejuvenation procedures including facelift, blepharoplasty, and browlift. As a board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Stuart Kincaid is keenly aware of the importance of proceeding with surgery only after the patient’s blood pressure is under control. Sadly, in cases where patients have been convinced by some doctors there are little to no risk associated with facial rejuvenation procedures, some patients with high blood pressure have proceeded with facial rejuvenation surgery and been plagued with multiple complications as a result. Some patients are misled to believe that because the procedure is performed in an office without anesthesia that there are few risk and that their blood pressure is not a factor. Dr. Stuart Kincaid emphasizes to his patients that safety should always be of the utmost concern. Dr. Stuart Kincaid remains one of the top plastic surgeons in the country due to his equal commiitment to safety as well as exceptional results.
