Real Cause of High Blood Pressure

It is time to take an honest look at the real cause of high blood pressure and heart disease so you know what has happened with your body. It took a long time for you to get to this point because your body is very resilient and has tried to keep itself healthy. However, you can only starve the circulatory system of the necessary nutrients it needs to remain healthy for so long. Once you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure or heart disease, you must supply the nutrients the arteries need to rebuild themselves in large doses. Don't let any one tell you this is not reversible because that is nothing but bs as I am about to tell you.

I want to first give you some information about what the modern medical establishment of today thinks is the cause of high blood pressure. If nothing else it will at least give you a little education about one of the biggest health frauds ever perpetuated on the American people.

One cause of high blood pressure is thought to include genetic factors that affect the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. This system helps to regulate blood pressure by controlling salt balance and the elasticity of the arteries. The chromosomes and genes have not been identified of course, even though they have completed the mapping of the human genome. They say genetic factors are responsible for 30% of the high blood pressure cases in America.

They have theorized that people that have a diet high in salt are more prone to high blood pressure. These people are consuming over 5.8 grams a day of salt which is 2.32 ounces, a little over a 1/4 cup a day! Come on, who in the world consumes 1/4 cup of salt a day? Granted most of our foods are loaded with salt but a 1/4 cup, 338.72 ounces a year or 21.17 pounds. The average American consumes 7 pounds of sugar a year but 21 lbs of salt? I don't think so!

Modern Medical Clues to The Cause of High Blood Pressure

The biggest cause of high blood pressure according to modern medicine seems to be an abnormality of the arteries. These people seem to have an increased stiffness or lack of elasticity in the tiny arteries that are most distant from the heart called arterioles. The arterioles supply oxygen-containing blood and nutrients to all of the tissues of the body. The arterioles are connected by capillaries in the tissues to the venous system or the veins, which return the blood to the heart and lungs. Yet, this increased peripheral arteriolar stiffness is present in those individuals whose essential hypertension is associated with genetic factors, obesity, lack of exercise, overuse of salt, and aging. Modern medicine has the nerve to say that what makes the peripheral arteries become stiff is not known.

There it is, the cause of high blood pressure and heart disease. The stiffness of the arterioles where the arteries deposit the nutrients from the blood, cross over to the veins, and head back to the heart. Healthy arteries, capillaries, and arterioles stretch with the beating of the heart as it pumps blood throughout your body, they are elastic. This elasticity relieves the pressure so you do not have high blood pressure. When they do not stretch the heart forces the blood thru these microscopic arteries which raises your blood pressure.

Why are healthy arteries elastic? What are they made of that allows them to stretch, like your skin that stretches and moves with the movement of the muscles and skeleton?

The answer is......Collagen

Collagen is the largest protein source found in the body and makes up 95% of the structure of the circulatory system. It also is a major part of the skin and all other organs in the body.

Collagen is what allows the arteries, skin, heart, muscles, etc, to stretch. It is why you can blink your eyelids and they are not stiff and stuck open. It is why the skin stretches when a women is pregnant to allow room for a growing baby. It is a part of the connective tissues, ligaments and tendons. It is part of the cartilage that makes your nose stiff yet movable along with your joints where your bones comes together. It is literally the glue that holds the body together, if it is not skeletal in nature, it is made from or partially from collagen. Although, collagen is a small component of bone.

The body needs specific nutrients everyday to be able to produce collagen and replace old arterial cells. All the cells in the body will replace themselves within 7 years or so if it has the nutrients it needs to do so. Thousands of cells are replaced everyday, weekly, monthly, yearly, and bone takes the longest.

The cause of high blood pressure and heart disease is quite simple. Heart disease and high blood pressure is caused by the lack of nutrients that the body uses to make collagen. Your body is simply suffering from a nutritional deficiency and it is unable to replace and repair the cells in the circulatory system.

The good news, the cause of high blood pressure is 110% reversible with a natural cure if the damage has not progressed to far. Even if it has, there are still ways to lower your blood pressure naturally.
