High Blood Pressure Solutions

From the vast number of words that have been written about high blood pressure and treatment, one may get the idea that the subject is of great concern, important and confusing. Yes, confusing - who can possibly read the over 48 million listings that appear on Google just on the subject "high blood pressure medications"? Much less sort out what is true and important, from what is false or unnecessary?

Blood pressure is calculated to measure the pressure of the blood against the walls of your arteries. It measures the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance to the flow of the blood. If you have high blood pressure, the heart is working too hard against arteries too narrow. Exactly what numbers signify high blood pressure have changed over the years, and sometimes vary depending on who is being the authority.

Often there are no symptoms for high blood pressure. People often don't know they have this situation. But every time you go to a doctor, the nurse will check your blood pressure. Certainly any doctor would let you know if it is high.

The reason high blood pressure can be dangerous is because it increases risk of serious health problems such as heart attack and stroke and will cause damage in the body, especially to kidneys. So doctors want that blood pressure brought down to a normal level.

What causes high blood pressure? There can be different causes or no apparent cause. Some obvious things increase blood pressure such as smoking or being overweight.

Conventional medicine prescribes drugs to control high blood pressure. There are a myriad of different drugs that can be used, and combinations of drugs. Although the drugs are often effective in lowering blood pressure, they come with side effects. More drugs are prescribed to handle the side effects, and a patient finds himself on a dwindling spiral.

Alternative medicine turns to diet and supplements to handle high blood pressure, and these things can be very effective, and have no side effects. A combination of Coenzyme Q-10, L caritine and D-Ribose have been particularly effective in lowering blood pressure. Hundreds of studies have been done showing these and other natural supplements to bring about desirable results.

Chelation therapy has also had great success in lowering blood pressure and is a mainstay for that purpose with doctors who know alternative medicine. It can lower blood pressure and reduce risk of stroke and heart attack, all with little or no side effects. And it relieves the patient from the necessity of taking drugs the rest of his life. Chelation involves giving the patient a potent antioxidant that actually clears toxins out of the body, including the plaque that builds up in arteries and makes them brittle and narrow. It has been effectively used since the 1940's and can bring about results without drugs.

High Blood Pressure And Wine

I recently had dinner with some good friends and noticed that "Jane" was drinking red wine. At first I thought it was a joke, as Jane had more than once complained that she did not like the taste of red wine and in fact, preferred white wine.

Jane told me that she'd recently read that drinking red wine is beneficial to one's health, specifically, the heart.

This was not news to me. I've known for years that research has proven some health benefits to drinking red wine in moderation. By moderation, I mean one glass per day for women and two per day for men.

Studies involving Mediterranean countries showed that even though those in the study ate diets high in fat, they tended to have low LDL (bad) cholesterol, and high levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. In addition, they reported lower blood pressure. The common link in the studies was that all of the participants drank red wine (in moderation) on a regular basis.

Researchers think that 2 antioxidants, resveratrol and flavonoids, found in the seeds and skin of red wine grapes and also used in the fermentation process are what are responsible for this.

Resveratrol is thought to be responsible for raising HDL cholesterol, and this in turn helps prevent blood clots. Flavonoids also help prevent blood clots but also help to prevent plaque from forming in the arteries.

New research, though, has found that white wine and other types of alcohol are showing similar results. One particular study even indicated that white wine is more beneficial for health than red because the molecules in white wine are smaller and are more easily absorbed.

While I'm always interested whenever studies show promising health benefits from traditionally bad habits like alcohol consumption, but I also tend to take it with a grain of salt. Just how beneficial are these "health benefits" compared to the ill effects?

In every study, researchers are quick to point out that only drinking in moderation will produce any health benefits. In fact, they go on to say that alcohol abuse will cause far more devastating health problems than benefits.

Over indulgence in alcohol is addictive and can cause a number of health problems including: high blood pressure, obesity and organ damage. If you don't drink, research shows that it's better not to start. If you drink only in moderation, good for you.

If you are trying to lower your blood pressure or lose weight, I would instead suggest both my High Blood Pressure program and my Weight Loss Breeze program, respectively. They are both non-addictive, and all natural with proven results!
