Pumping blood around your body requires pressurization in order to properly deliver oxygen and nutrients to places that need them. Blood pressure naturally rises when demands increase, such as to meet the needs of an emotionally or physically demanding situation.

Diet, exercise, stress management, and dietary supplements form a comprehensive approach to healthfully managing your blood pressure fitness. It is very important to follow the Five Rules of The Leptin Diet as failing to do so excessively elevates blood fats between meals (triglycerides) which place too much sludge in your circulation and thus your system...

Magnesium deficiency is one of the most common problems facing Americans, in part due to a lack of fresh fruits and vegetables in the diet as well as soils depleted of this vital mineral because of poor farming methods. Magnesium is readily lost by stress and sweating (making it a vital supplement for avid exercisers and athletes). Magnesium is the most...

Potassium is a vital mineral in human nutrition. It is highly concentrated within cells, where it acts to promote proper fluid balance and pressure in regards to the water systems within your body. Fluid retention problems, intolerance of heat, or fatigue can be signs of a lack of potassium. Potassium is needed to maintain healthy blood pressure.*...

Many individuals have particular needs that indicate they can benefit from more comprehensive blood pressure support nutrition. For example, if you cannot follow The Leptin Diet then nutrients contained in the Leptin Control Pack are likely to help you do so and thus manage weight more effectively, in turn having a synergistic value for blood pressure...

In the process of normal metabolism, nerves must stimulate stored fat (white adipose tissue). However, if a person is overweight then nerves tend to excessively stimulate stored fat because that fat is somewhat numb and less metabolically responsive. Extra nerve drive is a form of stress to the kidneys that can strain blood pressure fitness. The kidneys...

The inability of the medical profession to actually think about what they are doing when they prescribe medications is highlighted by a new study warning that much of the blood pressure medication given may actually be making blood pressure worse. This is what happens in a society wherein high-priced Big Pharma drugs are pushed on patients regardless of...

A new Harvard University study followed 134,000 women and 47,000 men for 14 years to see who developed high blood pressure. It turned out to be 35,000 people. Of all dietary components, blueberries offered the greatest protection against developing high blood pressure.

Cardiologists at the Outpatient Cardiology unit of the University of Rochester Medical Center are warming up to the idea that many patients would like to use natural options to help regulate their blood pressure and that many of these options may actually work. In a new review article they have summarized the science behind how many of these nutrients can...

The impact of thyroid function on arterial stiffness and consequent elevation in blood pressure is a new finding helping to explain yet another adverse consequence of poor thyroid function on cardiovascular health. Researchers showed that correcting sluggish thyroid function (subclinical hypothyroid) enabled a return of better blood pressure function.

Hypertension, COPD, obstructive sleep apnea, poor cardiac function, and aorta stiffness are well known disorders linked with poor brain health and neurodegeneration. Hypertension in midlife has been associated with more brain atrophy in later life, but it is now understood that elderly with low blood pressure have more brain atrophy than those with...
