Control your High Blood Pressure by Changing from A to B

Alvin Hopkinson
It is quite interesting to note that even our personality, which can be classified as either Type A or Type B can be a contributing factor in the occurrence of high blood pressure.

There are several researches that prove Type A personalities are more prone to high blood pressure, heart ailments and strokes than that of the Type B individuals. Although, this doesn't mean that Type B people will not get the same illnesses.

Individuals of the Type A personality, are characterized by their competitive mode. They want to control the conversation and have a hard time listening. As a whole, they do not have enough money, large home, enough friends and enough of anything.

As a result, they have elevated adrenaline and cortisol discharge. Their blood pressure, blood fat, cholesterol and blood clotting elements are likely in the high level.

The Type B personality is the exact opposite.They are fond of recreation, not doing anything, silent about their accomplishments and rarely become angry or irritable.

As a whole, how a person acquires a Type A or B personality trait is reportedly 70 percent hereditary.

The evident disparity between the two personalities and the seemingly appealing characteristics of the Type B personality, is supported by a suggestion that shifting from Type A to Type B personality will help you avoid high levels of the following health disorders::

1. Cholesterol and the need for medication regarding the disease.

2. Elevated triglycerides

3. High blood pressure

4. Blood sugar

5. Incidence of blood clotting factors

Should the Type A personality succeed in achieving the goal of transforming into a Type B personality, he or she is almost assured of keeping away from bouts of high blood pressure.

Changing from Type A to Type B personality is only the initial stage. The other changes will include the decrease in self-restricting time urgency and unfriendly competitiveness.


Decrease in time urgency means handling time effectively and working in a well-organized manner. With regards to unfriendly competitiveness, Type A personality should change into becoming less aggressive and more agreeable.

As a whole, shifting from Type A to Type B personality will mean the following:

1. Becoming more realistic in setting deadlines.

2. Achieving better work, and working relationships with friends and family relation.

3. Becoming more patient with other people and their differences.

4. Becoming more cooperative in working with others.

5. Being able to learn from conversations with others.

6. Becoming a good listener.

However, individuals who are bent into transforming themselves from the Type A to Type B personality can expect to encounter rough sailing.

Hence, here are some tips which can help you in developing the Type B behavior:

1. Develop your interest outside of the work place.

2. Co-mingle and make friends with Type B people.

3. Avail and take pleasure in your lunch and rest periods.

4. Be pleased about the things around you.

5. Restore former traditions or innovate.

6. Choose a pastime.

7. Instill in your mind that you have the right to enjoy.

Once you get accustomed to the changes, you will note that the transformation is an "autocatalytic process" or it operates on auto-pilot. You will not only enjoy life but prevent high blood pressure as well.
