Researchers are finding more than just a loss-of-memory risk factor when looking at the brains of people with high blood pressure.
What they are finding looks to be definitive proof that high blood pressure can actually cause the kind of damage in the brain that results in memory problems and dementia spectrum diseases.
Researchers at UC Davis found that people as young as 40 who have high blood pressure also have structural damage in the brain.
The scientists looked at data from the Framingham Heart Study, which is the first scientific study to show this type of damage in both the grey and white matter of the brain in people as young as 40 years old.
People who were as young as 30 with high blood pressure or were pre-hypertensive were also found to have elevated risk factors for memory problems and dementia-type diseases.
The kind of structural damage in the brain that the researchers observed is in the area that governs memory and behavior. Chronic, uncontrolled high blood pressure over long periods of time causes a cacophony of problems all over the body and in almost every system, but can be especially terrible in the brain because it is one area that can never be repaired once damage occurs.
The Framingham study is one of the longest-running longitudinal studies of its kind and has been following participants for more than 50 years.

Blood pressure, as with sugar, cholesterol, tryglyceride levels and more, have been lowered, and lowered, and lowered again so that we are ALL in some way or another in need of medication. We now have a population which has become PARANOID through the controlled main stream media, the same bunch of ruling crooks that run the financial system, the media, the military, the politicians, the oil, and the pharmaceutical industry. Remember the 'swine flu' how many millions or was it billions sought out a vaccine to 'save' them from the coming pandemic? Or terrorism, there are terrorists everywhere, except for politicians, how many British, American, or European politicians have died through a terrorist attack since 9/11? NONE. Wake up people, you are being taken to the cleaners by a bunch of ruling Mafia crooks and their money masters behind the scenes. Think for yourselves. How can you put the same size shoe on everybody? You can't, and neither can you put the same blood pressure on everyone. MANY people live to a ripe old age with what the medical profession call 'high blood pressure.' You are feeling ok, why spoil a good thing. The biggest killers on the planet are the medical profession. Why not PREVENT rather than seek to treat; good nutrition and good water, with moderation, will do far more for you than any medication. You health is YOU'R responsibility, why hand it to a profession with the highest suicide rate in the world, and most Doctors die BEFORE their patients, and they have this medical mass murdering machine, called Weapons of Medical Destruction (WMD'S).

It is clear that America’s annual mortality rate would decline significantly if the government were to ban doctors instead of attempting to ban guns. The medical system is a far greater threat to our nation’s health and welfare than are firearms. An American has a 23 times greater chance of being killed by their doctor than by a firearm!
I agree that High Blood Pressure can age the brain but I hope that Dr. Daniel Amen is right that a damaged brain can be repaired.
Micheal, an aviation medical examiner once told me the same thing…some people's blood pressure is higher than others. Excellent post!
Elizabeth B. One Doctor said to me. 'The best piece of advice I can give you Michael, is to stay away from people like me.'
Actually I think the medical fraternity is chasing bad science and are having their research done for them by vested interests. They do save a lot of lives which helps mask the actual bad health epidemic due to people touting low fat diets and that is Bad Science!
Interesting, but blueheron is just another marketing angle, that's trying make a quick $49 selling a emailed pdf (in effect ). Although the site has some thought provoking health articles it is primarily a commercial enterprise that's attempting to make $$'s out of us. i.e. give a plausible story to suck them in (The Key To Long Life, Even Immortality) then lead them into the long winded sell, sell,sell that's spattered with questionable testimonials and a promise of some secret info (3 exercises in this case) that will transform their life. They say they will refund if asked but i think they have worked out that the gullible that have paid for this info are silly enough to not demand a refund. Just another publishing house without the overheads. I do concur with your own statement above though Micheal . 🙂
