A while back I did an article about the top 10 causes of blood pressure problems. Today, I’m going to do a quick summary of what’s called the “silent killer” because there are no real symptoms that let you know you have blood pressure problems.
Dizziness, headaches, rapid heartbeat, etc… are NOT specific to blood pressure.
In fact, 76% of people who have blood pressure problems, don’t even know it.
And, it can cause more serious heart problems, kidney failure, and renal issues.
So, you really need to control your blood pressure because not only does it help avoid health problems, but lower blood pressure is also correlated to a longer life.
And since personally, I have a family history of blood pressure problems, I wanted to make sure that this aspect of my life for myself and more importantly, my parents – is under control and done so NATURALLY — without harmful drugs or negative side effects.
I also decided to redo this topic in 2024 so you can have all the recent info.
So, let’s get started.
1 – AGE
By far, the #1 cause of blood pressure problems is age and more specifically, the negative changes in your HORMONES due to aging.
From the age of 18-39, about 3% of the population has some kind of blood pressure problem.
However, between 40-59, it jumps to almost 35% and after the age of 60+, it’s OVER 70% of people.
However, don’t worry… there are ways to fix this regardless of your age. And I’ll show you how at the end of today’s article and how my own parents have dealt with this — and my mom is 80 years old and my dad is 90.
2 – Genetics & Family History
Yes, genetics is a major problem with everything. But there are ways to turn ON or OFF your genetics.
3 – Smoking
4 – Alcohol
Don’t let the “red wine is good for your heart” media advertising to fool you because alcohol is a toxin and it causes hormonal imbalances, leading to blood pressure problems in the long run.
5 – Being Overweight
6 – Sodium
This has to do with regular table salt and what’s found in processed foods. But NOT with natural salts like Himalayan and Celtic.
7 – Stress
Stress is always bad, but it’s HOW you manage the stress that IS the real problem.
8 – Lack of Physical Activity
9 – Medical Conditions and/or Health Problems
10 – Medications/Drugs
Ironically, many “heart medications” actually cause MORE harm in the long run. They’re good, temporarily for the first few weeks.
But your body adapts because these drugs are “fake” and cause more stress to your organs.
It’s better to use natural solutions, herbs, vitamins, and so forth.
I think we can all agree that healthy blood pressure is very important for your health, fitness & longevity (brain, heart, kidney & eye health, sexual performance, energy, etc.).
Unfortunately, most of us don't have the time, money or devotion to make big lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, stress management, etc.)
Well, the good news is that now you can quickly achieve your "healthy blood pressure" goals with ONE simple solution that's easy, convenient & requires NO lifestyle changes...
