For the last 30 years, you’ve been bombarded with propaganda against salt and fat to improve heart health.

Cut salt, cut fat, cut salt…cut fat!!!

But new research shows that another ingredient – found in almost all processed food – is much more dangerous for your high blood pressure than salt and fat.

Blood vessels regulate blood pressure by contracting and relaxing. That is a natural process.

The more contracted the blood vessels are, the higher the blood pressure and vice versa.

Scientist at the University of Leicester now have shown how the intake of sugar disturbs this natural process.

But there is more.

A high level of sugar in the blood, which is already accomplished after eating a rich, large meal, also has an
effect on the heart and the cardiac muscles.

High levels of glucose in the blood at the time of a heart attack could lead to a higher risk of complications. People who don’t have diabetes could even become hyperglycemic during a heart attack because of the already elevated sugar levels in the blood.

And this is especially problematic because sugar’s everywhere.

Sugar is one of the key ingredients in many processed foods. Even in products like ketchup or potato chips, which are not sweet in taste, sugar has been added.

In an analysis in the online journal Open Heart, doctors say that added sugars in processed foods are likely to have a greater role in high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke than added salt.

So it’s difficult to cut out all sugar. But there is something else you can do to lower your blood pressure.

That is, use these 3 easy exercises, found here, to drop your blood pressure below 120/80 – starting today…
