If you are putting off treatment for high blood pressure and making the necessary lifestyle changes that go with metabolic disorders because you think you’re not suffering ill effects yet – think again.
Using a new imaging technique, scientists are now able to identify damage occurring long before symptoms ever crop up. And the damage is the kind you can’t undo.
Scientists at Sapienza University in Rome recently discovered an MRI enhancement that can detect damage to organs caused by high blood pressure – long before a person ever becomes symptomatic.
An MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, is a special exam that looks at the structure of tissues in the body. While an MRI is extremely useful in detecting damage to structure, it hasn’t been used to detect faults in function…until now.
A new enhancement procedure to MRI is garnering attention for its ability to bridge the function diagnosis gap. Diffusion Tensor Imaging, or DTI, can be used to detect changes in not only the structure of the brain and other organs affected by high blood pressure, but also decreases in function of those same organs.
Brain damage is particularly bad because once that tissue is destroyed, there is no getting it back. Researchers have been gathering a tremendous but alarming body of evidence to show that high blood pressure is a leading risk factor for the development of dementia diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
Once a person shows signs of mental deficiencies, the ball has already been rolling down the hill and it’s too late to stop it. Conventional and emerging approaches seem only to be able to slow the progression, not reverse it.
There is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease once it becomes full blown.
However, finding out about the changes in structure and function early, while there is still time to reverse the damage and make changes is critical to preventing the disease.
Many people with high blood pressure – which affects 1 in 4 Americans – think that if they aren’t suffering from visible complications of the disease there must not be any. Or, they think their blood pressure medications are enough to ward off bad events.
But the new study shows that high blood pressure causes brain damage, even if it’s managed using blood pressure medications.
The only way to lower blood pressure and to ward off the dangerous effects it causes is to actually tackle the underlying causes of the high blood pressure. And to do that, you must use natural lifestyle changes.
But if you’re experiencing thought clouds or memory loss, here is a simple method that boosts your brain with energy and may even reverse early dementia…
Are the 3 easy BP Exercise done in one continuous go or I can do one today another tomorrow and the 3rd next day?
It`s high time it should be writ large that the industry that issue the unatural singular synthetic band aids for life without cure, that are laughingly called anti- hypertensive med`s. Self same industry has toxified our environment in air, water and soil this past hundred years or more to such an extent gross biological distortion has made sure organic life is completely denegrated. This reflects in humans as metabolic and degenerative diseases. The chem. industry knows full well of this chemicalisation of our world and all for profit and power which is no more than evil moral bankruptcy. Ray
too bad I can't even figure out what you are talking about. on a low fixed income, anything over $10 is too much.
The last two days my BP spikes in the afternoon .. Usually I run low and this frightens me ..
Yesterday I ended up at Urgent Care, with my BP climbing to 152/99
Today it was 101/70 in the morning and spiked to 144/94 in the evening …
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Thank you..
LEXI, your B.P. sounds quite Normal to me. My B.P. spikes when I eat,drink something I am allergic to.Drs cannot understand this. I think I am allergic to ALL B.P. PILLS, but do take one now that seems to agree, but I still MUST BE VERY WATCHFUL OF MY DIET.
