Lower your blood pressure and cholesterol naturally
It amazes me how many people take for granted that as you get older you will be on medication for high blood pressure and/or high cholesterol. They think that it is an inescapable part of growing older. Doctors and pharmaceutical companies reinforce this with adverting. Doctors even more so when the first thing they do is to write you a prescription rather tell you that you need a lifestyle change. That you need to eat healthier and get more exercise. What they also don’t tell you is that the medication they are putting you on can be more dangerous than the condition they are prescribing it for. These medications can in and of themselves cause strokes and heart attacks. Plus you risk liver damage because the drugs are processed through your liver and can cause damage. Statins, such as lovistatin and zocor, can cause severe pain and muscle cramps. Since drug treatment rather than healthy changes is being pushed at us by drug companies and doctors people just assume that this is the only way to treat itÂ
People will say “Its genetic, everyone in my family has it.” Well everyone in your family probably shares the same bad eating habits as well. Anyone is “genetically” predisposed to have it if they consume enough of the things that cause it and don’t get enough exercise to flush it out. It is “genetic” in my family as well. My father had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and ultimately had two strokes before he died. My youngest brother had both and had a heart attack at age 50 and died from one at age 59. My older brother had a heart attack in his 50’s and is now on medication and has liver damage as a result. My sisters are on medication as well. Everyone has it but me. The one thing they all have in common is really bad eating habits. Too much junk, too much fast food, too much salt, and they are overweight. I eat healthy, exercise regularly and my weight is at a healthy level. I am 51 years old. My blood pressure is 110/75 and my cholesterol is at 176. No meds for me.Â
High blood pressure and high cholesterol are not an inevitable part of aging. These conditions can be avoided by merely taking care of yourself. By simply deciding that your health and living a long healthy life are more important to you than too much salt, deep fried foods,  fast foods, and other fatty, salty non-nutritive foods. In moderation these foods are fine but if you eat them on a daily basis your health will suffer for it eventually.

If you have them already these conditions can be treated with no medication. A lifestyle change is all it takes. I have seen first hand what it can do. Three years ago my husband’s cholesterol level was up over 300. His triglyceride level was through the roof. However his doctor told him that he could control it through diet and exercise and fish oil pills. After spending 2 months in the hospital with severe pancreatitis caused by his triglyceride level he decided that he was ready to make the change. He gave up his customary breakfast of eggs and sausage and started eating Honey Nut Cheerios. He cut back on his portions and ate healthier foods realizing the risks if he continued to eat the way he always had. He began taking fish oil pills and a multivitamin regimen. His started exercising. His cholesterol dropped from over 300 to around 220. His good cholesterol came up and his triglycerides came way down. He did all of this the natural healthy way with no drugs involved. I myself brought my level from 190 to 176 just by beginning fish oil pills.
Â
Aside from the dangers of the drugs themselves the problem is that people rely on the drugs and continue to fill themselves with unhealthy foods and don’t exercise. As a result they can never come off of the drug because they didn’t fix the problem which was their unhealthy eating habits. The longer you are on the drug the more your chances of having an unhealthy response to them.
