High Blood Pressure 
Hypertension

Just tell me what to take for high blood pressure

High blood pressure (also called hypertension) occurs when too much pressure is placed on the walls of the arteries.  This  occurs when there is an increase in blood volume, or when the body’s smaller blood vessels narrow or constrict causing the blood to exert excessive pressure against the vessel walls while passing through.

If you imagine a garden hose with a normal flow of water running through it, there is no problem.   Now if you increase the pressure on the hose by drastically turning up the amount of water rushing out.   Now imagine pinching off spots of this hose, like constricted blood vessels.  

 A garden hose might endure this wear and tear, but your arteries can become extremely damaged by such constant pressure - especially if you do not provide your body with the needed nutrition to keep those arteries strong and elastic. 

Whether blood pressure is high, low or normal depends on several factors; the output from the heart, the resistance to blood flow of the blood vessels, the volume of blood, and blood distribution to the various organs. All of these factors in turn can be affected by the activities of the nervous system and certain hormones. 

With increased pressure, the heart must work harder to pump an adequate amount of blood to all the tissues of the body (necessary to keep the body alive as the blood brings oxygen and nutrients to all the cells in the body). 

Blood Pressure Danger

The body can usually tolerate increased blood pressure for months, but eventually the heart can enlarge and be damaged.   This can cause injury to the kidneys, brain, and eyes.  High  blood pressure is often associated with coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, kidney disorders, obesity, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and adrenal tumors. 

Blood pressure is categorized as normal, high normal, mild, moderate, severe, and very severe. 

Normal pressure is from 110/70 to 130/85. High normal is considered to be 130-139/85-89 and hypertension is 140/90 or above. Any pressure over 180/115 is severely elevated.

Blood pressure is usually divided into two categories, designated primary and secondary: 

Primary hypertension is high blood pressure that is not due to another underlying disease. Sometimes the precise cause is yet to be known, but a number of definite risk factors have been identified. 

Because too much water retention can exert pressure on the blood vessels, those who consume foods high in sodium (your typical fast food diet) may be at greater risk. Elevated blood pressure is also common in people who are overweight. Blood pressure can rise due to stress as well, because stress creates nutritional deficiencies which causes the walls of the arteries to constrict. 

Secondary hypertension: When persistently elevated blood pressure arises as a result of another underlying health problem, such as a hormonal abnormality or an inherited narrowing of the aorta, it is called secondary hypertension. 

A person may also have secondary hypertension because the blood vessels are chronically constricted or have lost elasticity.  It can be created due to a buildup of fatty plaque on the inside walls of the vessel, a condition known as artheriosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis and artherosclerosis are common precursors of hypertension. The narrowing and/or hardening of the arteries makes circulation of blood through the vessels difficult. As a result the blood pressure becomes elevated. 

Secondary hypertension can also be caused by poor kidney function, which results in the retention of excess sodium and fluid in the body. The increase in blood volume within the vessels causes elevated blood pressure levels. Kidneys may also elevate blood pressure by secreting substances that cause blood vessels to constrict.

High blood pressure, or Hypertension is called the "quiet killer" because it gives no sign of the undercover damage is may be doing: 1) weakening blood vessel walls; 2) aneurysms, abnormal expanding or hazardous ballooning of the artery wall which, if exploded , can bring on a stroke, heart attack and internal bleeding  3) high pressure contributes to congestive heart failure and kidney damage.

Warning signs associated with advanced hypertension may include headaches, sweating, rapid pulse, shortness of breath, dizziness, and visual disturbances.

Factors that can increase blood pressure:

Water and Salt:   This information really works if your problem is chronic dehydration.  Its said that 75% of the population is chronically dehydrated. See .Our need for Water    

High Blood Pressure and Hormones

Psychological or emotional stress is a known contributor to many illnesses including high blood pressure. The hormone cortisol involved in the body's response to stress acts to increase blood pressure. 

Stress brings about other physiological changes and imbalances in hormones and substances in the body, which are also thought to play a role in causing hypertension. Persons experiencing a great deal of stress are also much more likely to engage in unhealthy behaviors such as smoking, excess alcohol use, poor diets, and not exercising, all of which further predispose to the development of high blood pressure.

What can you do?

One or more of the following major factors can boost blood pressure: cigarette smoking, poor diet, stress, and  under exercising.

Salt:  a generous intake of sodium actually increases the volume of blood because sodium attracts water to itself, and therefore, contributes to high blood pressure.  

You need Potassium:  the ratio of too much sodium to potassium contributes to high blood pressure.   A diet high in potassium-rich foods could lower the risk of stoke by as much as 40 percent regardless of the other risk elements such as age, blood pressure, cholesterol level, smoking and weight.  Best sources:  banana, fresh broccoli, vegetables and fruits with a high potassium content:  avocado, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, potatoes (with skins), cantaloupe, dates, prunes and raisins.  Also, beans, parsley, peas, pistachios, wheat germ, sunflower seeds, chickpeas, almonds, sesame seeds and brazil nuts, peanuts, and pecans.

One study showed that when the dietary levels of potassium were high the subjects had a lower risk of stroke, despite their blood pressure level.   Other tests showed that individuals with ample amounts of potassium have low blood pressure.

Calcium deficiency: numerous studies show that a calcium deficiency has a close relationship with high blood pressure. Calcium supplementation has been shown to reduce blood pressure from an average of 160/94 to 128/81.

The ratio of calcium to phosphorus is ideally 2 to one.  When calcium ratio to phosphorus is low, hypertension results.  When calcium supplement is mated with Vitamin D to make sure it is properly absorbed, blood pressure is lowered more than with calcium alone.  Dosage:  800 mg. of calcium to 400 I.U. of Vitamin D.

Magnesium:  When magnesium supply runs down and the intake of the mineral is low, reversible high blood pressure results.   Magnesium is essential to the elasticity of the blood vessels.

Overweight:  Numerous studies state that there is a direct relationship between increased body weight and blood pressure.   As one loses excess weight, the blood pressure reduces proportionately.  Such weight and blood pressure reduction is independent of how much sodium one eats.   But you need to find out why you are overweight as reversing diabetes and other metabolic disorders will lower blood pressure. 

Sugar:  Merely by giving sugar to lab animals and humans, you can raise blood pressure at will.  It is believed that sugar contributes to sodium retention, which, in turn, raises blood pressure.

Heavy eating:  Repetition of starvation followed by overeating has been known to lead to  hypertension.  

Water:  numerous studies reveal that soft water contributes to hypertension and heart attacks.  Switching to bottled water helps.

Coffee - Steer clear of both regular and decaf. A recent study showed occasional coffee drinkers who drank a triple espresso experienced an increase in blood pressure and nervous system activity regardless of whether or not the drink contained caffeine. Coffee may contain substances, other than caffeine, that cause cardiovascular reactivity.

High Blood Pressure

So, what causes high blood pressure and what are some of the ways to help control it naturally?

'We do know that blood pressure is controlled by the tiny smooth muscles lining the interior of blood vessels and the nerves that control them.'

'These muscles' ability to dilate [Definition: to make wider or larger] or constrict governs the pressure and blood flow to each organ and tissue, thus allowing the body to adapt to various states such as sleep, digestion, or exercise, as well as to external circumstances such as a hot or cold environment.'

'When the muscles throughout the vascular system [Definition: the arteries and veins that carry blood] dilate, blood pressure drops. When the muscles constrict, blood pressure rises. If this constriction occurs continuously, the blood pressure remains abnormally high. This is hypertension.'

'What influences the relaxing and tightening of the tiny smooth muscles lining the blood vessels? Many factors, but among the foremost is the mineral magnesium.'

'Actually, the balance of magnesium and another mineral, calcium, in and around the muscle cells lining the arteries is a primary determining factor of their state of relaxation and constriction.'

'Calcium tends to make muscles constrict, whereas magnesium causes them to relax.'

excerpted from The Magnesium Solution for High Blood Pressure by Jay S. Cohen, M.D.

The solution appears almost too simple. If so, why don't the majority of doctors address the problem of high blood pressure using a nutritional approach?

'Modern physicians are trained to prescribe. We learn in medical school that prescription drugs are the most powerful tools we have for treating disease.'

'Since diet changes were almost never presented as therapeutic tools, drugs are usually viewed as the only significant therapeutic options available.'

'The pressure on physicians to use medications are almost impossible to overcome. Not only have they been taught that drugs are necessary, but the drug companies exert enormous influence on physicians' treatment patterns.'
