The Blood Pressure Cure 5 Secret Weapons

More than two decades ago I began my search for ways to lower my own cholesterol levels and prevent an early death from heart disease. Certainly, the essential foundation of sueh a program had to include increased physical activity and a heart-healthy diet. But knowing that other factors entered into the cholesterol picture—notably, that the body makes 80 percent of all the cholesterol in the bloodstream—I realized that I needed something more than diet and exercise. My search led me to the soluble fibers in oat bran and other foods that actually flush out cholesterol and the vitamin niacin to stop the body s excessive production of it. Since that time, I ve found additional natural approaches to lowering cholesterol, including the plant sterols known as phytosterols, red yeast rice, and pantethine. 

So it was with a sense of deja vu that I began my own search to normalize my blood pressure. I ve detailed the foundation of a solid program in the chapters of this book, and these lifestyle elements are, again, essential. But by the time most people recognize the importance of blood pressure in heart health, that pressure has already begun to creep up. Thus it s not just a matter of prevention but one of vital need for a cure, for a way to get blood pressure down safely and effectively. My research has been thrilling for me, and the results I ve achieved are as dramatic as those I managed for 

You re about to read a wonderful story that took decades to develop from research all over the world. It s a medical detective tale, complete with mystery and discovery. Three of the main characters won the Nobel Prize in medicine. Four plant-derived supplements are recognized for their abilities to lower blood pressure naturally. And thanks to all those efforts, you and I are the real winners in our fight against hypertension. 

When we talk about heart disease, we re really talking about a disease of the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. A heart attack occurs when the coronary arteries fail to get enough blood to that muscle and it begins to die from lack of oxygen. A stroke happens when the carotid arteries in the neck can t provide sufficient blood and oxygen to the brain, most typically when a clot forms in a narrowed carotid artery. In discussions of cholesterol, smoking, blood pressure, and other risk factors, we tend to forget the importance of the arteries themselves. 

When most people think about the arteries at all, it s in terms of plumbing. The arteries are simply pipes, conduits, for blood flow. Problems occur when those pipes get clogged, although not in the simplistic way that s commonly imagined. The plaque, as arterial blockage is properly termed, doesn t accumulate on the inner walls of the arteries the way calcium builds up on bathroom plumbing. Rather, it s a complex process that develops inside the layers of the walls of those arteries.
