Lynn Kerew Chiropractic is a Santa Monica Chiropractor that specializes in treating a variety of symptoms caused by improper ergonomics or a lack of vitamins. A recent Public Relations study for vitamin C products found that high blood pressure is a heavy contributor to strokes and heart attacks all over the world. While not everyone dies from it, this doesn’t mean it’s not potentially fatal. High blood pressure is in most cases caused by hypertension; by treating that disease, the blood pressure will usually turn to normal. There are a few things that cause it, among which are thyroid disease, alcohol, pregnancy, and obesity.
The aforementioned, are factors that can be averted through medication or discipline, but then there are the factors that cannot be averted in any way at all. They include gender, race, and age, among other things. They cannot be changed; they simply have to be lived with. There are medications however, that will reduce blood pressure. There are various pills, treatments, and other assortments of clinical remedies such as beta-blockers, which are usually prescribed after a heart attack. Unfortunately, while beta-blockers work wonders in reducing blood pressure, they also tend to cause Type 2 diabetes through the decrease of insulin sensitivity, which actually adds to the problem, since people who are insulin-resistant have been found to have extremely high blood pressure. It is amazing how much insulin has to do with blood pressure! So if you do have hypertension, make sure to have your blood sugar checked constantly, the ability to normalize your blood sugar will go a long way in preventing high blood pressure.
All medications have a side effect of some kind, there’s no getting around it, and there are no exceptions. Yet some people believe that drugs are the only way, after all, that is what most hospitals will tell you. So what do you do? Once again, nature provides, you can eat fruits and vegetables, which help a lot with high blood pressure due to the vitamins in them.
A recent study has shown that vitamin C is capable of reducing blood pressure. The study consisted of about 250 women, from the ages eight to eleven years old, and the study lasted for about ten years, it was shown that vitamin C did indeed reduce their blood pressure. It has also been noted though, that vitamin C is best used with other blood pressure reducing remedies such as green tea, and some tea is actually made with vitamin C in it already.
This is an excellent discovery, when you consider the damage drugs can do to your body. If you have ever watched a drug commercial, you’ve probably heard them list the side effects, and the list they give causes more problems than the drug is supposed to cure, making it not even worth it. But if a cure can be found within nature, then such things can be avoided, and good health can be obtained in our own backyards. Meaning that while age, gender, race, and social status cannot be changed(yet), the high blood pressure that accompanies them can be kept in line, and help you to live a happy, stroke free life with your friends, family, and loved ones for many years to come.
P.S. know the relation between Vitamin C and Vitamin D.
