HYPERTENSION

Q - WHAT IS HYPERTENSION?
A - When your blood pressure rises to 140/90 or greater.

Q - WHAT IS CONSIDERED AN IDEAL BLOOD PRESSURE?
A - Ideally 120/80 or but it’s even better to be lower.

Q - HOW CAN I CHECK MY BLOOD PRESSURE?
A - At most pharmacies or of course with your physician. Also digital blood pressure cuffs are easy to use.

Q - WHAT IS THE DANGER OF AN ELEVATED PRESSURE?
A - At least 40 million Americans have HBP which causes the heart to pump ever harder trying to carry blood throughout the body. This often leads to heart failure or a stroke.

Q - WHAT CAUSES HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE?
A - Sedentary life style, obesity, salt, caffeine, alcohol, stress, heredity, and smoking all contribute toward hypertension.

Q - HOW DOES ELEVATED BLOOD PRESSURE CAUSE MEMORY LOSS?
A - Studies show that untreated hypertension can damage parts of the brain causing dementia. Research shows it can even cause subtle problems with short-term memory. (study presented to the American Heart Association’s 57th convention in Washington, D.C. By Dr. Richard Jennings of the University of Pittsburgh).

Q - WHAT CAN I DO TO LOWER MY BLOOD PRESSURE, OTHER THAN TAKING MEDICATIONS?
A - 90% of individuals can reduce their blood pressure by doing just 3 things: Learn the art of relaxation, do an aerobic exercise 3 days per week, and lower your weight.

Q - I NEED HELP LEARNING HOW TO RELAX. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?
A - Meditation, deep muscle massages, Tai Chi, biofeedback, Yoga, being proactive, working at a job you love, having fun, separating from negative people, places, thoughts, talk, situations. Also you can purchase an amazing herbal formula called Calm from our office.

Q - WHAT SUPPLEMENTS ARE BEST FOR LOWERING BLOOD PRESSURE?
A - I know of 2 formulas that really work: NattoKinase and Blood Pressure Control (Siberian ginseng, garlic, goldenseal, ginger root, parsley, cayenne). These are available from our office at (800) 545-6923.

Q - HOW CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HYPERTENSION?
A - Call (800) 545-6923 to purchase an audio CD and booklet, Healthy Heart, for only $9.95. Also call us for your free informative Newsletter.
