TryBloodPressure Elixir Mix
1. Salt is to blame (Myth?) Partly true/partly false. If you overconsume white salt in processed food, your body has to dilute the salt by adding water to your blood. Moving greater volumes of watery blood makes the heart pump harder. Diuretics that force the kidneys to excrete fluid are not the answer. Nor is telling patients never to eat salt again. Instead, stop eating fast food and MSG and start using real solar salt. The body will handle the fluid volume by itself unless you have kidney disease.
2. Hypertension causes hardened arteries (Myth?) No, it’s the other way around. It’s Vitamins D and K2’s job to place calcium where it should go (bones, teeth, nerves), not where it shouldn’t go (joints, arteries, breast calcification). If calcium lines your arteries they get smaller in diameter and less elastic. K2 and D should be taken together and taken forever. Here’s my top clinic product selling D and K2 together…. Or, add this patented and potent K2 to your daily vitamin regime.
3. Sugars are not important (Lie?) Incorrect! Studies suggest fructose and other sugars cause pressure variability, rapid heart rate, Insulin Resistance and weight gain. Switching to a Paleo Diet or another diet low in processed food, sugars and grains can fix these issues. Metabolic Syndrome is underneath most cases of hypertension.
4. Magnesium won’t help (Lie?) This is false. Starches and sugars cause elevated Insulin and Insulin Resistance. Insulin stores Magnesium, but if you’ve become Insulin Resistant you cannot hold Magnesium. This mineral is well-known to relax arteries and muscles. You can take supplemental magnesium but the real answer is to get your Insulin under control with a grain free sugar-free diet.
5. Only drugs can relax blood vessels (Myth?) Most blood pressure meds are meant to stop artery walls from tensing up. See #4 for an alternative.
6. Cholesterol causes plaquing of the arteries (Myth?) Trans Fats (hydrogenated vegetable seed oils) have been shown to cause hardening of the arteries. Not cholesterol and saturated fats. There are many studies implicating cholesterol, but the Cholesterol Myth has been refuted for years.
7. Your blood pressure numbers are too high (Myth?) Blood pressure rises when we are stressed, in motion, tense or angry. The correct way to take your blood pressure is to sit without talking for 3 to 5 minutes, apply the correctly sized cuff to your arm, hold your arm across heart level and keep your body quiet and relaxed. Racing to your doctor appointment, fuming over wait time and chatting with the nurse guarantee an elevated reading and a prescription for the rest of your life.
8. Uric Acid is irrelevant (Lie?) Fructose from sugar, agave, corn syrup, sodas and many juices or fruits breaks down into uric acid. Uric acid inhibits Nitric Oxide in blood vessels. Nitric Oxide helps blood vessels remain elastic. High fructose is directly linked to hypertension and Insulin Resistance.
9. TRUTH: Stress makes it all worse as we increase cholesterol, cortisol, glucose and blood pressure in response to fear or threat.
