What Else Affects Blood Pressure?
A number of foods and other factors have been reported to affect
blood pressure. Here are the latest research findings:
Garlic and onions. These foods have not been found to affect blood
pressure. But they are tasty, nutritious substitutes for salty seasonings
and can be used often.
Caffeine. This may cause blood pressure to rise, but only temporarily.
Unless you are sensitive to caffeine, you do not have to limit how
much you consume in order to prevent or control high blood pressure.
Stress. Stress, too, can make blood pressure go up for a while, and
is popularly thought to contribute to high blood pressure. But the
long-term effects of stress are not clear. Furthermore, stress management
techniques alone do not seem to prevent high blood pressure.
However, stress management approaches may help you control
other unhealthy habits, such as overeating or smoking.
High Blood Cholesterol and the TLC Program
TLC is a treatment program that stands for “Therapeutic Lifestyle
Changes.” This program helps reduce LDL cholesterol via a low-saturated
fat, low-trans fat, low-cholesterol eating plan. The program
also emphasizes regular physical activity and weight control. Adopt
the TLC approach and you’ll lower your chances of developing
heart disease, future heart attacks, and other heart disease complications.
(The main difference between the TLC and the DASH eating
plans is that the TLC plan puts more emphasis on decreasing saturated
fat and trans fat to lower blood cholesterol levels.)
Now You’re Cooking: Limiting Saturated Fat, Trans Fat, and Cholesterol
Planning and preparing nutritious meals may take a little extra
effort, but the health benefits are huge. Here are some tips for cutting
down on saturated fat, trans fat, and dietary cholesterol, which
will help lower your LDL cholesterol and reduce your heart disease
risk. It will improve heart health for everyone, and may be particularly
helpful to those following the TLC eating plan.
Meat, Poultry, and Fish
■ Choose fish, poultry, and lean cuts of meat. Trim the fat from
meats; remove the skin and fat from chicken. Keep portion
sizes moderate.

Pig industry sustains livelihoods of many families in Kenya. Pig rearing has been one of wellestablishedindustry
in Kenya following growing export markets and increasing number of health
conscious consumers. Pig production if efficiently managed has great potentials for increasing
protein supply in Kenya. Smallholder pig farms in Tharaka-Nithi County have been facing
varying and dismal profits. The main objective of this study will be to establish which
institutional arrangements and management factors affect the profit efficiency of small-holder
pig farmers in Tharaka-Nithi County. A multi-stage purposive sampling technique will be
adopted to collect cross sectional data of eighty (80) smallholder pig farmers in Maara
Constituency by the use of semi-structured interview schedules. The work will employ Data
Envelopment Analysis to come up with profit efficiency rankings among the farmers and
stochastic frontier profit function will be used to analyze the factors that affect profit efficiency.
The data will be processed using STATA and DEA Frontier packages. The findings could be
useful to the stakeholders of the pig industry sub sector to formulate policies pertaining to pig
enterprise inputs, marketing issues and financial products and also can establish benchmarks
which can be used as a package for enhancing and stabilizing profit efficiencies of smallholder
pig farmers which in turn could help improve the Kenya economy.
An Overview of Livestock Sub-sector in Kenya Perspectives, Opportunities and Innovations for Market Access for Market Access for Pastoral Producers Recent statistics point that the livestock sub-sector in Kenya accounts for approximately 10% of the National Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is 30% of the agricultural GDP. It employs about 50% of the national agricultural workforce and about 90% of the ASAL workforce. 95% of ASAL household income comes from this sub-sector. This is despite the fact that the sector receives only 1 % of the total annual budget allocation. The livestock resource base is estimated at 60 million units comprising of 29 million indigenous and exotic chicken, 10 million beef cattle, 3 million dairy and dairy crosses, 9 million goats, 7 million sheep, 0.8 mi camels, 0.52 mi donkeys and 0.3 million pigs. (Strategy for Revitalizing Agriculture (SRA) 2003) Kenya is broadly self-sufficient in most livestock products but is a net importer of red meat mostly inform of on-the-hoof animals trekked across the porous boundaries of neighbouring countries- Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Uganda and Tanzania. Livestock supply in Kenya results from a complex set of interactions between Kenya and its neighbours and the traditional Middle East market and their respective livestock populations, demand and market prices. Kenya is part of a regional market where livestock flow according to markets and price differentials in a liberalized system throughout the region as a whole and where Nairobi represents a focus of demand for the region Supply of red-meat from domestic cattle, shoats and camels falls short of demand, and is almost permanently augmented by a traditional livestock trade drawn in from neighbouring countries, especially Somalia, Tanzania, Sudan and Ethiopia in varying quantities according to demand, which maintains a supply/demand
