Hi, I'm Dr Sam Robbins,
I’ve talked a lot about high blood pressure in the past - causes and solutions.
I’ve done this because hypertension is called the “silent killer” because there are
no symptoms for it.
Some people think it’s having headaches or being dizzy or something similar - but,
it’s not.
Lots of things can cause these situations.
And of course, high blood pressure can lead to a heart attack or stroke and it’s more
of a problem in my opinion, than having “high” cholesterol if you’re concerned about heart
disease.
Additionally, going from a high blood pressure (over 140/90 mmHg) to normal levels (120/80
mmHG ), let alone to ideal blood pressure levels (115/75 mmHG) dramatically improves
your life by1
38% lower risk of heart failure; 43% lower risk of cardiovascular death;
27% lower risk of mortality overall.
Thus, you’re going to live a much longer and healthier life, simply by improving your
blood pressure, which is a big deal in my opinion because it can easily be done and
you do NOT need drugs.
However, today I’m going to reveal the #1 cause of high blood pressure and NO, it’s
not your diet, lack of exercise or stress!
It’s because of the negative changes in your hormones, due to AGING!
I’ll show you the clinical stats in a minute.
However, I know this to be very true because my own family and especially my parents.
And you can get the details on how I lowered their blood pressure naturally, below this
video in the description area.
But don’t go their just yet.
First, take a look at the stats and chart from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention) of high blood pressure among adults2 over the age of 18 between 2015-2016
The first bar on the left that’s kinda black, shows the TOTAL number of people who have
high blood pressure.
Basically, it’s 30% of the population over the age of 18.
That’s a lot.
What’s worse is that this does NOT take into account PRE-hypertension numbers, which
means even more people have “almost” high blood pressure and don’t even know it.
The second, gray bar, shows the % from age 18-39.
Men are 9.2% and women 5.6%.
So, things are NOT improving.
The third, green bar, shows the % for age 40-59.
Men are at 37.2% and women 29.4%.
This is a MASSIVE jump, up 420% for men and a whopping 525% for women!!!
Why such a huge jump all of a sudden?...
Because men’s testosterone starts to declined in his late 20’s and even more so in his
30’s.
However, there’s a huge drop starting in his 40’s and it’s called “andropause”.
And women, they start “menopause” in their 40’s as well, which causes massive negative
changes in all their hormones - estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, adrenal and thyroid
hormones
Finally, the forth, lighter-green bar, shows the % for age 60 and over.
Men are 58.5% and women 66.8%.
Both age groups are significantly worse.
But the women are much worse because the negative changes in hormones because of menopause is
more dramatic than men’s “andropause” So What Does This Mean For You?
Well, you’re probably thinking “great, there’s nothing I can do.
I can’t turn back time, so I guess this is it?!!”
No, this just means you have to be more proactive about monitoring and improving your blood
pressure levels as you age, especially after the age of 40.
Now, the best way to find solutions to problems, is to know the CAUSE of it.
So what you need to do is make some simple lifestyle changes and utilize specific nutrients
that a more “mature” body needs, because of the changes in hormones, ... so your body
can help heal itself naturally, from within.
This is the ONLY long-term, safe solution for improving your blood pressure and overall
health… and I think you’d agree with this.
Unfortunately, Pharmaceutical companies (and most doctors) don’t want do deal with the
cause, they just want to “mask” the symptoms with drugs.
In fact, this is why there are over 75 different blood pressure drugs with over a dozen different
mechanism.
This is also why most people with hypertension end up taking on average 2 drugs AT THE SAME
TIME, to make improvements.
I know this because both my parents, my aunts and uncles were dealing with all of these
same situations.
Of course, if you have extremely high blood pressure, such as 180/120, then you MUST take
a drug right away to lower it fast and get it under control immediately.
However, even in these extreme situations, this type of person will eventually need to
find natural solutions because you should NOT be taking drugs, long-term, for the rest
of you life.
We ALL know this - it’s just too toxic and they have too many negative side-effects.
YES, lifestyle matters because DIET - what you put in your body (food and
liquids), EXERCISE - How much, how often and what kind.
STRESS MANAGEMENT - emotional and physical SUPPLEMENTS - herbs, plant extracts, vitamins,
minerals and amino acids … ALL affect your hormones and turn genes
ON or OFF.
Anyway, just because you’re getting “older”, does NOT mean you have to look and feel “old”
and deal with the potential health problems and one of them being high blood pressure.
Now below this video, I’ve got two special links for you.
One of them is a formula my dad and mom use to lower their blood pressure natural.
