High Blood pressure is determined both by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure. You can have high blood pressure (hypertension) for years without any symptoms and it affects nearly everyone particularly ageing person. Even without symptoms, damage to blood vessels and your heart continues and can be detected.
High blood pressure generally develops over many years, and it affects nearly everyone eventually. Fortunately, high blood pressure can be easily detected. Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases your risk of serious health problems, including heart attack and stroke.
So Is High Blood Pressure a disease? It is NOT. High Blood Pressure is not a disease; rather it is the mechanism by which the body deals with circulatory stagnation or impairment and clogged arteries. Our bodies have a circulatory system principally to deliver oxygen and nutrients to our trillions of cells. Each of these cells functions properly with that constant supply of oxygen and nutrients. If our cells are denied these life sustaining substances they start to malfunction and if denied long enough these cells will die off (Atrophy). Before atrophy occurs, cells send off a signal of distress which the central nervous system detects. In a life-saving mechanism the nervous system sends a signal to the circulatory system to raise the blood pressure forcing nutrients to the struggling cells so they do not die. If we interfere with this natural procedure, and artificially lower blood pressure to what is considered normal levels, then we thwart the body’s ability to deliver the life-saving oxygen and nutrients guaranteeing the demise of said cells.
No matter what medications your doctor prescribes to treat your high blood pressure, you’ll need to make lifestyle changes to lower your blood pressure. Your doctor may recommend several lifestyle changes, including: Eating a healthier diet with less salt, regular exercise and reduce alcohol intake. You need to reduce your weight because blood pressure often increases as weight increases.
Knowing this fact we can surmise that taking high blood pressure medications will allow kidney cells, liver cells, heart cells and all other cells to die. In layman terms if you take high blood pressure medication you can die of kidney failure, liver disease and heart failure.
WARNING!!! Suddenly stopping blood pressure medications can be lethal. First improve the circulation and then ease off the drugs slowly.
To improve circulation and constantly deliver oxygen and nutrients to all of our cells we should focus on three possible obstacles:
- Is the vascular system clogged or malnourished?
- Are our emotions impeding circulation?
- Are we taking drugs that impede circulation?
Second, emotions that constrict blood flow can be helped with the information in many Healing Spiritual books like Wheels of Life, Mother Earth Spirituality, Healing Spiritual Wounds, etc…
Third, if you are taking drugs like caffeine that constrict the vascular system and prevent nutrients from reaching the cells, stop using them.
We should realize that our bodies are programmed to move toward wellness and recognize that many symptoms like high blood pressure are simply ways the body uses to restore balance and increase function.
Enjoy Life, Live Longer, Be Healthier!
