Toxins and Pollution - What is Their Affect on High Blood Pressure?

So much is said about high blood pressure and the potentially disastrous health consequences if left untreated (heart attack, stroke, blindness, and all sorts of other scary health concerns) that almost everyone over the age of thirty knows at least something about it.

Actually high pressure is very treatable. That is the reason why I write so much about hypertension.

We are all told things to avoid such as high sodium foods, processed foods, fast food, red meat, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine and tobacco.

All the people should know why one should avoid these food. All these food items contain some toxin substance in them that affect the health and can lead to high blood pressure.

Sodium and caffeine are not inherently poisonous but can elevate pressure. This is especially true of people who have a family history or other issues such as obesity that already increases their risk for hypertension

All most all fast foods and processed foods have a very high content of trans fat, cholesterol and sodium. Chemicals rich in sodium are sometimes replaced for sugar in some diet foods. And these foods are mostly high in fat.

Hypertension can also be caused by red meat even though it is not processed. This is because basically you are eating the toxic substance which the animal ate before.

Alcohol and nicotine/tobacco, while not foods are things people tend to ingest or breathe in and in many cases, to excess. While I don't see a problem with moderate alcohol consumption, research has indicated there is no safe cigarette. Keep in mind that these are by definition poisons to our bodies.

It is important for you physician to know if you have blood pressure as these can increase blood pressure. Some medicines that use over prescription or counter do have toxic substances.

A research made on animals have confirmed that the exposure we make to day to day air pollutants can actually increase pressure. Pollution can increase pressure by 25%.

While we can carpool and recycle (yes, I'm a big believer!), we can't control what goes on globally. Likewise, a hyperbaric chamber isn't something we can budget for either.

I highly recommend my High Pressure program to anyone who suffers from hypertension. It's all natural breathing and relaxation exercises have shown amazing results and it's something you can do regardless of the environment to help reduce your blood pressure.
