Four Foods For High Blood Pressure Control

Newsletter from Rob Poulos and the Fat Burning Furnace people
=============================================================

It's not often we discuss matters of life and death in this
newsletter (I like to keep things on the cheerful side!)...

... but today it's important that we touch upon one of the
most important factors in staying healthy and living out a
happy and relatively drug free life.

Because you know, like I do, that's really what it's all
about.

And by the end of this article, you'll know how to use these
4 unique substances to help fight against heart attack,
stroke, kidney damage, fatigue, vision problems, nerve
damage and more-

-all by simply regulating your blood pressure.

THIS AFFECTS MORE THAN JUST YOUR HEART...

Most heart patients already know high blood pressure can
mean disaster for their heart health.

But here’s what they don’t know:

Having high blood pressure can also wreak havoc on your
brain, kidneys, and eyes.























Here’s the scary part…

High blood pressure can quietly damage these vital organs
for years before you see any symptoms. If left unchecked,
this silent killer can leave you with a disability. Or
worse, it can lead to a heart attack or stroke.

That’s because your heart, brain, eyes, and kidneys all
depend on blood flow. It supplies them with life-giving
nutrients and oxygen.

Healthy arteries are strong and flexible. They’re smooth on
the inside. This lets blood flow freely. With high blood
pressure, however, it’s a different story...

...the increased pressure can damage the lining of your
arteries’ walls. This can lead to atherosclerosis (hardening
of the arteries), heart disease, and stroke. The constant
pressure can also cause a section of the arterial wall to
enlarge, causing an aneurysm in the aorta or brain.

IT'S THE SAME STORY WITH YOUR KIDNEYS AND EYES...

High blood pressure is the most common cause of kidney
failure. And in the eyes, this arterial damage can cause
serious vision problems due to fluid buildup or nerve
damage.

Unfortunately, mainstream medicine’s solution to this (like
most health problems) is side-effect laden drugs like beta
blockers, ACE inhibitors, calcium-channel blockers, and
diuretics.

Some of the unpleasant effects of taking these medications
could include:

• Constant fatigue
• Weakness
• Shortness of breath
• Depression
• Impotence
• Chronic dry, hacking cough
• Swollen ankles
• Kidney damage

Fortunately, you may not need rely on side-effect producing
medications to protect your heart or even reduce your blood
pressure.

Lots of regular folks do it naturally, with inexpensive
foods and supplements.

For starters, PLEASE get your blood pressure measured!

Most grocery stores and pharmacies have a station where you
can get it checked for free. Otherwise see your doctor.

Now, once you know your scores, take a look at the chart
below and see where you fall between the normal and high
blood pressure (hypertension) range:

Blood Pressure Stages     -Systolic     -Diastolic
Normal                                <120          <80
Pre-Hypertension                 120-139     80-90
Stage One Hypertension      140-159     90-99
Stage Two Hypertension      160+          100+

Next, you can use any one of these four natural and unique
alternatives to reduce or even prevent high blood pressure:

1. Garlic – This tasty herb contains sulfides that help
relax your arteries. This lets blood flow more freely. In
fact, a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences found that garlic can relax blood vessel tension by
an amazing 72 percent!

2. Hawthorn – This herb has been used for centuries as a
heart tonic. Just like garlic, it works to relax the blood
vessels. It does this by inhibiting enzymes called
angiotensin-converting enzymes. (They are what cause your
blood vessels to constrict.) Prescription drugs like ACE
inhibitors work the same way – with far more dangerous side
effects. In one clinical trial, hawthorn effectively reduced
diastolic blood pressure.

3. CoQ10 – In a study published in the European Journal of
Clinical Nutrition, researchers gave CoQ10 to diabetic
patients. Not only did their blood sugar improve, so did
their blood pressure. This powerful and amazing antioxidant
works by supplying your heart with the critical energy it
needs to pump blood throughout your body. Without CoQ10,
your heart could literally stop beating.

4. Quercetin – This powerful antioxidant is off most
doctors’ radar screens. It’s a “bioflavanoid” that’s found
in foods like apples, onions, red grapes, and leafy greens.
In one study, researchers gave 22 people with high blood
pressure quercetin for four weeks. At the end of the study,
they showed significant improvement. The easiest way to get
more quercetin is to eat more fruits and leafy green
veggies. Otherwise, you can get a supplement at your local
health-food store.

Now these are just 4 ways to fight this silent killer from
affecting your happiness and health.  I've also enjoyed
learning about even more ways to regulate blood pressure and
help fight many of the ailments mentioned above in this
special report:

It’s called “The High Blood Pressure Remedy Report: How to
Cure Your High Blood Pressure Naturally Without Drugs.”

I’ve never personally come across a more interesting and
comprehensive report about how to naturally:

-Help prevent and reduce high blood pressure
-Protect your heart, kidneys, eyes, and brain
-Wean yourself off costly and potentially harmful drugs
-Help to reduce your risk of heart attack or stroke

Because everyone who cares about their health is also
concerned about their heart health, you probably agree that
getting a copy of this report in your hands is more than a
good idea.

Alright, take care of yourself and we'll talk soon?

P.S. Even if you're blood pressure is in the normal range,
it's more than likely you have or will have a friend or
loved one fighting the debilitating effects of high blood
pressure.
