Located in New York City, SCEPA is at the center of a network of leaders dedicated to progressive and innovative education and ideas.
SCEPA faculty are investigating the economics of climate change, from mitigation proposals to implementation.
SCEPA focuses on the U.S. economy, with an awareness of the global context of domestic economic developments.
A research institute within The New School's Economics Department, SCEPA is dedicated to collaboration between today's experts and tomorrow's leading economists.
SCEPA is working to reform a retirement system that is failing Americans.
- On Capitol Hill
- On Wall Street
- In the Press
- Policy Reform Work
Our projects are designed to empower policy makers to create positive change. With a focus on collaboration and outreach, we provide original, standards-based research on key policy issues.
SCEPA joined with the Economic Policy Institute on Capitol Hill to brief congressional staff and policy experts on tax expenditures, or incentives given through the tax code without scrutiny by Congress.
SCEPA economists are working on the prospects for a more progressive economic order to emerge from the shock of the recession. They have published papers and documents that place current events in a longer-term context as well as policy proposals to deal with short-term concerns. They are also documenting the emerging discussion of how the discipline of economics is reacting to the Great Recession and the questioning of conventional economic analysis.
Lance Taylor, a SCEPA Faculty Fellow, presents an overview of his new book, Maynard's Revenge, in a Google Tech Talk.
The book, published this November by Harvard University Press, is a timely analysis of mainstream macroeconomics, posing the need for a more useful and realistic economic analysis that can provide a better understanding of the ongoing global financial and economic crisis.
The government spends $143 billion through tax breaks in an effort to expand pension coverage and security. Yet, over half of the American workforce does not have a pension. Retirement insecurity hurts business plans, workers' lives and retiree well-being. Reform is needed.
SCEPA's Guaranteeing Retirement Income Project, sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation and in collaboration with Demos and the Economic Policy Institute, has a plan to guarantee safe and secure retirement income for all Americans.
Do Budget Cuts Lead to Growth?
- Details
On April 17, 2012, SCEPA organized an event to discuss, "What the U.S. Should Learn From Austerity's Fallout in Europe and Latin America?"
Policymakers around the world have embraced austerity measures as the solution to the continuing economic malaise. Yet, the evidence of recent experience does not support this prescription. To encourage a broader discussion for the United States' future budgetary decisions, New School economists offer a different vision to create stability and growth.
Specifically, they review the theoretical foundations of austerity economics and the experiences of austerity and intervention in the European Union and South America. The event includes a discussion of the practicality of the pursuit of austerity policies in the United States and an analysis of the assumptions made by supporting politicians and policymakers.
Panelists and Presentations:"Spend Now, Cut Later: Fiscal Policy and Economic Growth"
Richard McGahey, Professor of Professional Practice, Public Policy and Economics, Urban Policy Program, New School for Public Engagement
"The North Can Learn from the South"
Michael Cohen, Professor of International Affairs and Director, Graduate Program in International Affairs, New School for Public Engagement
"Labor Market, Labor Institutions and Social Protection in Latin America"
Roxana Maurizio, Researcher-Professor, Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento and CONICET, Argentina, and visiting CONICET Fellow at GPIA.
"Madmen in Authority and the Scientific Foundations of Austerity Policies"
William Milberg, Professor of Economics and Chair, Department of Economics, New School for Social Research
Moderator: Teresa Ghilarducci, Professor of Economics, New School for Social Research
This was the second in a series of SCEPA discussion's regarding the political power of austerity in the United States' response to the recession. The first event, "Do Budget Cuts Lead to Growth?," was held on December 13, 2011.
Don't Cut Pensions, Expand Them
- Details
On March 15, 2012, the New York Times ran an oped by SCEPA Director Teresa Ghilarducci, "Don't Cut Pensions, Expand Them." The oped followed a deal the day before by New York State lawmakers to decrease pension benefits for future state workers in the debate over state and local budget deficits and public pension costs.
SCEPA's research has documented that future retirees in New York City and State are likely to experience downward mobility when they retire, making a case that the real debate over pensions should focus not on how to cut benefits for a few, but on how to increase retirement security for all workers. Ghilarducci's State GRA proposal would do so by allowing private employees and their employers access to public pensions.
This plan has been embraced by public officials in California and New York City. According to the article, "both proposals would rely on the same professional staff and institutional money managers that invest the state and city pension funds to manage contributions made by participating employers and employees in the private sector.
This is a vital step: public pension plans usually outperform 401(k) plans and individual retirement accounts, because instead of a single worker managing a single account, large institutional plans pool workers of all ages, diversify the portfolio over longer time periods, use the best professional managers that aren't available for retail accounts and have the bargaining power to lower fees and prioritize long-term investment.
By some estimates, costs for public pensions are over 45 percent lower than for individual 401(k) plans. Of course, since these plans would be financed by workers and their employers, there would be no cost to taxpayers."
Argentina: Diverging from Austerity
- Details
Michael Cohen, director of The New School's graduate program in international affairs, discusses how Argentina's successful response to the global economic recession of 2008 was not to slash the budget to reduce debt, but to invest in their economy. He presents an alternative to U.S. policy makers who are intensely focused on a path of austerity and shows that austerity is not the only path. The graph below is discussed in the video and exemplifies how targeted stimulus spending can be very effective.
This discussion follows Cohen's presentation at a SCEPA panel discussion on austerity in politics and economics held in late 2011, "Do Budget Cuts Lead to Growth." SCEPA will be holding a second panel discussion on this theme on April 17, 2012. The event will focus on "What the US Should Learn From Austerity's Fallout in Europe and Latin America."

About 3 out of every 1,000 kids are born with a port-wine stain — a birthmark that literally looks like maroon wine was spilled or splashed on the skin. Though they often start out looking pink at birth, port-wine stains tend to become darker (usually reddish-purple or dark red) as kids grow.
Port-wine stains (also known as nevus flammeus) can be anywhere on the body but most commonly are found on the face, neck, scalp, arms, or legs. They can be any size, and usually grow in proportion with a child. They often change in texture over time, too — early on, they're smooth and flat but they may thicken and feel like pebbles under the skin during adulthood.
For most kids, port-wine stains are no big deal — they're just part of who they are. And some port-wine stains are barely noticeable, especially when they're located somewhere other than the face.
Pulsed dye laser therapy is considered to be the gold standard for the treatment of PWS as the wavelength of this laser specifically targets the hemoglobin within the vessels, causing selective vessel damage. Purple areas (i.e., purpura) are expected for 7-14 days following the procedure and can often be a good indicator of adequate laser energy for effectiveness.

Nagesh Kukunoor: 'Mod' is an unusual Bollywood love story
Critically acclaimed Bollywood filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor in a chat about his latest film Mod and how he wants to make action, crime and sci-fi films in the future
In Bollywood, love stories are more common than anything else. So why would someone want to watch Mod? What is so special about it?
Well, Mod is a love story but it is not the kind you see in Bollywood today. For me love stories work only when characters are mismatched and the journey of falling in love is equally important if not more than the actual act of falling in love. If you as the audience already know yes these two people are already made for each other then the fun is lost, but if the characters are quirky as it is in Mod you wonder that how are these two people going to come together. Having said that, there is also an element of mystery associated with the film. Click here to read more

However, over the years a deep down cleaning may be necessary to keep the floor looking it's best. Our hardwood detailing process works wonders on any hardwood floor that still has a finish. We first remove the loose soil from the floor, then clean the floor with a specialized cleaning pad attached to a rotary machine. Last, we'll polish the floor to help bring back the shine. Your floors will look great and feel great to walk on. This new process cleans any type of hardwood floor, even prefinished, polyurethane sealed, and laminate floors. This is a cleaning and polishing process only and will not remove deep scratches and dents. So if your floors have not been refinished in a long time, refinishing may be necessary.
Heaven's Best Hardwood Floor Detailing includes:

Firm, convenient, on-time appointments
Specially trained technicians

Oxidative stress and microcirculatory flow abnormalities in the ventricles during atrial fibrillation

Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) often present with typical angina pectoris and mildly elevated levels of cardiac troponin (non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction) during an acute episode of AF. However, in a large proportion of these patients, significant coronary artery disease is excluded by coronary angiography, which suggests that AF itself influences myocardial blood flow.The present review summarizes the effect of AF on the occurrence of ventricular oxidative stress, redox-sensitive signaling pathways and gene expression, and microcirculatory flow abnormalities in the left ventricle. © 2012 Goette, Bukowska, Lillig and Lendeckel.

Failure to remove tumor cells from the larynx significantly increases the risk of local recurrence following surgical excision. Healthy tissue must be preserved to optimize long-term vocal and swallowing function. It is essential to accurately distinguish between healthy mucosa, dysplasia, and invasive carcinoma. Optical and molecular examining technologies have been developed to improve tumor margin identification in vivo. We aimed to review the efficacy of these technologies. Published articles were identified using MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane central register of controlled trials (CENTRAL). Randomized clinical trials are required to establish the benefit to patients and cost to the health service of using 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-induced fluorescent imaging, contact endoscopy, and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Furthermore, primary research is required to validate other techniques, such as confocal endomicroscopy and Raman spectroscopy, and to develop their clinical applications in the larynx. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Flowlens: A focus-and-context visualization approach for exploration of blood flow in cerebral aneurysms

Blood flow and derived data are essential to investigate the initiation and progression of cerebral aneurysms as well as their risk of rupture. An effective visual exploration of several hemodynamic attributes like the wall shear stress (WSS) and the inflow jet is necessary to understand the hemodynamics. Moreover, the correlation between focus-and-context attributes is of particular interest. An expressive visualization of these attributes and anatomic information requires appropriate visualization techniques to minimize visual clutter and occlusions. We present the FLOWLENS as a focus-and-context approach that addresses these requirements. We group relevant hemodynamic attributes to pairs of focus-and-context attributes and assign them to different anatomic scopes. For each scope, we propose several FLOWLENS visualization templates to provide a flexible visual filtering of the involved hemodynamic pairs. A template consists of the visualization of the focus attribute and the additional depiction of the context attribute inside the lens. Furthermore, the FLOWLENS supports local probing and the exploration of attribute changes over time. The FLOWLENS minimizes visual cluttering, occlusions, and provides a flexible exploration of a region of interest. We have applied our approach to seven representative datasets, including steady and unsteady flow data from CFD simulations and 4D PC-MRI measurements. Informal user interviews with three domain experts confirm the usefulness of our approach. © 2011 IEEE. Source

Phenotype switching contributes to nongenomic heterogeneity in melanoma and other cancers. These dynamic and in part reversible phenotype changes impose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Understanding the reciprocal coevolution of melanoma and immune cell phenotypes during disease progression and in response to therapy is a prerequisite to improve current treatment strategies. Here we discuss how proinflammatory signals promote melanoma cell plasticity and govern interactions of melanoma and immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. We examine phenotypic plasticity and heterogeneity in different melanoma mouse models with respect to their utility for translational research and emphasize the interplay between melanoma cells and neutrophils as a critical driver of metastasis. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Accuracy of image-guided pedicle screw placement using intraoperative computed tomography-based navigation with automated referencing. Part II: Thoracolumbar spine
Scheufler K.-M.,Innsbruck Medical University |
Franke J.,University Hospital Magdeburg |
Dohmen H.,University of Zurich
Neurosurgery | Year: 2011
BACKGROUND: Image-guided spinal instrumentation may reduce complications in spinal instrumentation. OBJECTIVE: To assess accuracy, time efficiency, and staff radiation exposure during thoracolumbar screw instrumentation guided by intraoperative computed tomography (iCT)-based neuronavigation (iCT-N). METHODS: In 55 patients treated for idiopathic and degenerative deformities, 826 screws were inserted in the thoracic (T2-T12; n = 243) and lumbosacral (L1-S1; n = 545) spine, as well as ilium (n = 38) guided by iCT-N. Up to 17 segments were instrumented following a single automated registration sequence with the dynamic reference arc (DRA) uniformly attached to L5. Accuracy of iCT-N was assessed by calculating angular deviations between individual navigated tool trajectories and final implant positions. Final screw positions were also graded according to established classification systems. Clinical and radiological outcome was assessed at 12 to 14 months. RESULTS: Additional intraoperative fluoroscopy was unnecessary, eliminating staff radiation exposure. Unisegmental K-wire insertion required 4.6 ± 2.9 minutes. Of the thoracic pedicle screws 98.4% were assigned grades I to III according to the Heary classification, with 1.6% grade IV placement. In the lumbar spine, 94.4% of screws were completely contained (Gertzbein classification grade 0), 4.6% displayed minor pedicle breaches <2 mm (grade 1), and 1% of lumbar screws deviated by >2 to <4 mm (grade 2). The accuracy of iCT-N progressively deteriorates with increasing distance from the DRA, but allows safe instrumentation of up to 12 segments. CONCLUSION: iCT-N using automated referencing allows for safe, highly accurate multilevel instrumentation of the entire thoracolumbosacral spine and ilium, rendering additional intraoperative imaging dispensable. In addition, automated registration is time-efficient and significantly reduces the need for re-registration in multilevel surgery. Copyright © 2011 by the Congress of Neurological Surgeons. Source

The C40 Cities Awards recognize the world's most inspiring and innovative cities tackling climate change.
News from the City of Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability
Friday, December 02, 2016

C40 Cities
Portland, ORE. — Portland and Mayor Hales were honored today at an awards ceremony in Mexico City. The C40 Cities Awards recognize the world's most inspiring and innovative cities tackling climate change. Sponsored by Bloomberg Philanthropies and BYD, the C40 Cities Awards ceremony was held during the C40 Mayors Summit, where more than 40 mayors from around the world gathered to create sustainable and livable cities for their communities.
"Portland has been a world leader in climate action for over two decades. We were the first U.S. city to adopt a climate action plan. We were the first to bring back the modern streetcar. Now with our updated 2015 Climate Action Plan and proposed Fossil Fuel Terminal Zoning Amendments, we'll be the first to deliberately transition from dirty, dangerous fuels to clean, renewable energy," said Mayor Hales. "I want to thank the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group and my mayoral colleagues for recognizing Portland's trailblazing efforts to make our city one of the most sustainable in the world."
Portland's 2015 Climate Action Plan (CAP) won this year's award in "Climate Action Plans & Inventories." The overarching goal of Portland's CAP is to deliver an integrated set of strategies by 2020 to keep Portland on a path to reduce GHG emissions 40 percent by 2030 and 80 percent by 2050. The proportion of citizens travelling primarily by public transport, cycling or walking is expected to rise to 50 percent, and the number of electric vehicles is set to increase four-fold to 8,000. The CAP aims to reduce energy use in existing buildings by 1.7 percent annually, resulting in an annual GHG emissions reduction of 280,000 metric tons in 2020.
"Much of our local efforts to combat climate change is made possible through the outstanding professional and expert staff work in Portland's Bureau of Planning and Sustainability. Not only will Portland's bold climate actions make positive benefits to our local community for years to come, it shows the way for many more mayors and national leaders to follow our lead before it's too late to stave off some of the most catastrophic effects of climate change," said Hales.
"Cities are a key part of the solution to climate change. Thanks to the efforts of residents, businesses and organizations, Portland's carbon emissions continue to decline – already 21 percent below 1990 levels," said Susan Anderson, Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability Director. "With direction from the Climate Action Plan, Portland is ready to take the next steps to reach our ambitious goals – like energy scores for residential and commercial buildings, expanding our share of electric vehicles, and investing in infrastructure, such as community solar projects, that advance equitable climate action outcomes."
For more information about Portland's 2015 Climate Action Plan, visit the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability HERE.
"On behalf of C40, I want to congratulate all the winning cities for their commitment to their citizens and their dedication to tackling climate change," said outgoing C40 Chair and Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Paes. "Throughout my tenure as C40 Chair, I have been increasingly impressed by the caliber of the C40 Cities Award winners, and I look forward to seeing other mayors around the world adapting and implementing these models in their own cities."
"The C40 Cities Awards recognize the best and boldest work being done by mayors to fight climate change and protect people from risks," said C40 President of the Board and U.N. Secretary General's Special Envoy for Cities and Climate Change Michael R. Bloomberg. "The winning projects show that great progress is being made on every continent, and they serve as an inspiration to other cities. They also show how cities can help the world meet the ambitious goals set a year ago in Paris."
An expert jury panel comprised of former mayors, climate experts and others, selected ten winning urban sustainability projects based on excellence in urban planning and dedication to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving resiliency. The selected cities exemplified the best policies, projects and programs globally, and for the first time included a category recognizing social equity.
Earlier in the day during the C40 Mayors Summit, C40 unveiled a report, Deadline 2020: How cities will get the job done, outlining a vision to reduce emissions by 2020 and help meet the Paris Agreement targets.

City Council will consider adopting an Inclusionary Housing Program as one of the many tools to increase Portland's affordable housing supply.
City Council will consider a recommendation from the Planning and Sustainability Commission (PSC) to amend the Zoning Code and the Housing Code to implement an Inclusionary Housing program. A work session is scheduled for November 29, followed by a public hearing on December 8.
The Inclusionary Housing zoning code changes create a new mandate for the production of affordable housing. New development with more than 20 units in one building will be required to have a share or portion that is affordable as defined by proposed regulations.
Specifically, the program requires residential development projects to provide housing affordable to households below 80 percent of median family income (MFI) with an alternative option for projects that choose to produce housing for households at 60 percent MFI and below.
The proposed amendments set the percent of all units in a development that must be affordable to meet the terms of the program. Referred to as the "inclusion rate" that must be provided in one of the following ways:
The other zoning code amendments change the base zones of the Central City and Gateway Plan Districts to develop a base Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and bonus FAR to offset some of the cost of compliance with the IH program. The proposed amendments also eliminate the parking minimums for residential development projects close to transit. The other parts of the Inclusionary Housing Program will be implemented through amendments to Title 30, the Housing Code. These provisions include the incentive packages offered to offset the costs to development and a fee schedule for the in-lieu fee option.
If approved by City Council, all new multi-family or mixed use development with more than 20 units will be subject to these requirements effective as of February 1, 2017.
For more information, read the Inclusionary Housing Zoning Code Project Recommended Draft.
City Council Briefing and Public Hearing(s):
The public is invited to testify on the Recommended Draft at the upcoming City Council hearing.
Staff will start the process by providing a briefing to City Council on the Recommended Draft. Council will then hold a public hearing, followed by a vote to adopt the code changes.
November 29, 9:00 a.m. (time certain)

Consultant's research affirms community support for thoughtful building design but says d-overlay system needs improvement
In May of this year, the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, in collaboration with the Bureau of Development Services, hired consultant Walker Macy to lead an independent and comprehensive review of the City's design (d) overlay zone, including the design review process, tools and results.
By August the consultant team had published the results of their analysis of Portland's regulations and processes for the d-overlay and how they fit together. They also looked at best practices from other cities, including discretionary design review and the application of nondiscretionary design standards.
Last week, the Walker Macy team shared an Interim Report on the Design Overlay Zone Assessment (DOZA) during a briefing with the Portland Design Commission. The report outlines their findings, based on a review of peer cities, interviews with stakeholders, a public questionnaire and evaluations of example projects. The report also offers preliminary recommendations for improving the processes and tools that implement the d-overlay in the city of Portland.
What did the consultants learn about design review in Portland?
The consultant team found strong community support for thoughtful design and that Portland is recognized as a national model for creating a livable urban environment through design. However, the current d-overlay system could be improved to make the process more efficient and better align the regulatory tools with today's design objectives.
What are the recommendations for improvement?
Walker Macy made several preliminary recommendations for improving the design review process, including the following:
At the briefing, the Design Commission engaged in a robust discussion about the report, expressing support for recommendations such as those to consolidate and update the tools and offering the consultants directions for further investigation. Commissioners identified the need to incorporate community voices into the design review process as well as balance the goals of ensuring design quality with serving applicants effectively.
Next Steps
The DOZA team will release a detailed set of recommendations in early 2017. The public will have an opportunity to weigh in during an open house tentatively planned for February 2017.
The consultant team will then refine and produce a final report of findings and recommendations and present their work to Design Commission, Planning and Sustainability Commission and City Council in spring 2017.
For more information about the Design Overlay Zone Assessment visit our website at www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/DOZA or contact Lora Lillard at 503-823-7721 or email@example.com.

Cooking time

This chocolate cake contains no butter or oil so is naturally lower in fat than a classic chocolate sponge. The addition of grated apple makes the sponge moist and its natural sweetness means you can afford to use less caster sugar.
Unfortunately we are unable to add this recipe to your favourites, please try again later.
Preheat the oven to 170C/330F/Gas 3.
Grease a 20cm/8in non-stick cake tin with a little olive oil cooking spray. Using an electric hand whisk, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed from the bowl, then set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, vanilla extract and caster sugar until pale, doubled in volume and the sugar has dissolved.
Fold in the apple, flour and cocoa powder with a metal spoon and then fold a third of the egg white mixture into the cocoa mixture. Once combined, fold this into the remaining egg white mixture.
Spoon the mixture gently into the cake tin and bake for 30 minutes, or until risen (when cooked the sponge should bounce back when pressed lightly). Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool.
Once cooled, slice the cake in half horizontally to create two layers. Mash two-thirds of the raspberries and one tablespoon of icing sugar together roughly in a bowl and spread this mixture over the top of one of the pieces of cake. Top with the other piece.
Mix together the remaining icing sugar and enough water to bring it together to form a thin icing of drizzling consistency. Drizzle the icing over the cake, leave for 2-3 minutes to harden slightly and then decorate with the remaining raspberries.

Located at a hotel of the same name, Foress Park is the main dining spot for guests. Natural beauty abounds, with the scent of local tropical plants mingling with the aroma of freshly brewed Blue Mountain coffee and a home cooked meal.
Whether you want to sample traditional Jamaican dishes, or stick to something more familiar, you will be impressed by the menu offerings at Foress Park. Fried Johnny Cakes, Jerked Chicken, Ackee and Saltfish and Callaloo are all available and prepared to perfection.
Forres Park Restaurant delights Kingston with Jamaican cooking tempting enough that some people return again and again. The style of the restaurant and its dishes is considered by most to be informal. This eatery is open for breakfast, dinner, and lunch, allowing you and your group to try this restaurant almost any time the mood strikes.
Set on a terrace overlooking the forest, Foress Park Restaurant features contemporary decor.
Set in Kingston, three quarters of a mile north of downtown Kingston, Forres Park Restaurant is at 23 Liguanea Avenue.
This part of Jamaica has your choice of cultural and natural attractions, all helping to comprise this inviting town. Some of the closest options from this particular dining option include St. Peter's Church and Emancipation Park, both of which are only a short distance from Forres Park Restaurant.
There are a selection of neighboring outdoor pursuits and other activities to engage in if you have space in your itinerary. Whether they are beginners or veteran golfers, travelers who drop by for the day might want to hop over to the nearby golf facility, Constant Spring Golf Club. And what makes a breezy round of golf even better? A nap afterwards at Gunboat Beach, which is the most nearby beach and is four miles away. Besides these two, throughout the area you may get to visit a couple more beaches and golf courses, if you have time for multiple attractions.
For those trying to find a local restaurant that has similar menu items and/or a comparable price range, there are at least a few nearby places to pick from, including Scotch Bonnet Restaurant.
But of course, if you're looking for a change of pace, this region of Jamaica provides an excellent selection of restaurants, offering many different cuisine styles and menu items. For example, you can try some other menu items at Island Grill Kingston.

Earlier hypertension or high blood pressure was a health problem in adults, but lately even young people get affected because of the kind of lifestyle they are living today. In the busy lifestyle, people tend to have fast food like hamburgers or pizzas. These foods are rich in salts and cholesterol, thus causing hypertension. Due to hectic modern life some people do not get enough rest, so what can be done to solve this problem? Here are some tips on how to reduce blood pressure:
The first thing is to take the time and really pay more attention towards your eating habits. One can have supplements for high blood pressure. Try to stay away from the fast foods which are rich in fat, especially prevent fleas. Patties and beef are rich in fat and also absorb more cooking. So instead of eating high cholesterol and fatty things have more fresh fruits and salads. Many fast food chains these days offer healthy foods, so you can take that as well.
Having one clove daily early in the morning will also help you to lower your hypertension problem. When cooking add more garlic in the food. Garlic is known nature wonder to help lower cholesterol as prescription food. It also makes the most delicious anyway to add more in the same food should not be a big problem. Instead of drinking soda, drink fresh juices such as carrot juice or spinach. They are easy to make, so if you have a blender at home, preparing these juices should not be a problem.
It is also important to do exercise daily, like you can run, swim, ride a bike or just go for a walk every day. These exercises will help you keep up good blood circulation. Finally, try to get at least seven hours of sleep each day, will help controlling hypertension.

Medication is also there to reduce high BP level, but a number of problems related with medication. They do not cure the cause of high blood pressure, but only reduced it to a certain level while drugs remain in the system. This means that people have to take medication every day for the rest of their lives to keep their hypertension to an acceptable level. The other problem with drugs used to treat high blood pressure has a number of undesirable side-effects such as dry cough, palpitations, headache, nausea, insomnia, shortness of breath, depression, decreased libido, nasal congestion, weight gain and so on.
However, to reduce blood pressure naturally is actually quite simple. Good diet, exercise, healthy lifestyle and supplements for high blood pressure is all that is really needed. Make a regular visit to your doctor. Regularly practice and follow the general tips, it can help take high BP level down. Controlling or reducing the high blood pressure is really not a difficult task, but one should have the spirit. Have tension free life and enjoy it to full-zest.
