Cyclical Blood Pressure Patterns Could Offer Critical Health Clues
定期測量血壓能有效保持身體健康
Sixty years ago, when medical researcher Franz Halberg first proposed the unorthodox idea that our bodies respond to the natural cycles of day and night, not the hours on a clock, his fellow scientists scoffed. Today, circadian rhythms, as Dr. Halberg called these natural cycles, are accepted as a fundamental biological process, and their discovery made the Romanian-born physician famous. Now, he is challenging medical orthodoxy again by suggesting that cyclical patterns in our blood pressure offer clues about risks to our health.

60年前,當藥物研究者弗朗茨·赫博首次提出非正統理念“人的身體會響應自然的晝夜變化”,而不是根據時間來變化,他的觀點在當時受到了同行的嘲笑 。現在,赫博博士所說的自然時鐘被公認為基本的生物時鐘,而這位出生于羅馬尼亞的醫生也一舉成名 。現在,他又一次挑戰醫學觀念 。他表示血液循環類型對人類身體有健康威脅 。來自明尼阿波里斯市(美國城市)的報道,VOA記者雪萊報道 。
