80% High Blood Pressures Caused By This One ThingOne of the problems with curing high blood pressure is that there seem to be so many factors that affect this disease.

Bad diet, lack of exercise, high cholesterol, and obesity are just a few examples of the hundreds of things considered to cause high blood pressure.

But researchers from Australia recently discovered one single factor that is behind 80% high blood pressure cases. And the best thing is, it’s easy to tackle this underlying cause and permanently get rid of high blood pressure.

In the new study published in the journal Cell, the researchers tested the effects of Leptin on high blood pressure. Leptin is a hormone that, among other things, regulates appetite, metabolism, and body fat storage.

The more body fat a person carries, the more Leptin circulates in the blood stream. And as the researchers found, the higher their blood pressure tends to be. Which is one reason obesity and high blood pressure so often go hand in hand.

The researchers claim that high Leptin levels may be the cause of up to 80% of all high blood pressure cases.

But that’s not the end of the story, because not everyone who has high blood pressure is obese and vice versa.

The researchers took a group of obese mice who had high blood pressure, and disabled the receptors in their brains that process Leptin. And like magic, the blood pressure of the obese mice went down.

But mice are not humans. So next, the researchers hunted down a group of people who were obese, with high Leptin levels. However, either genetically or because of a disease, those people’s brains didn’t process Leptin as effectively as normal. Without exception, these people’s blood pressure was normal despite obesity.

How about slim people then? Maybe some people just have more sensitive Leptin receptors in their brains. So even if they’re not obese and their Leptin levels are normal, their brains still trigger an elevation in blood pressure.

So is this to say that the solution is just to tune down our Leptin receptors in the brain (as the researchers indicated)?

No, that’s just another way to use drugs to unbalance your system. And these drugs will always come with serious side effects and mess up something else in the process.

When your brain is reacting to the Leptin level, it’s rightfully saying there is something wrong. Being obese puts extreme stress on your body. And a functional way to deal with any stress, is to raise blood pressure.

If you’re not obese and still have high blood pressure, it means your brain is reacting to some other kind of stress. And the stress accumulates. Yes, forcing Leptin down could lower blood pressure (because it’s one of many influences) but it doesn’t address the real underlying stress.

Only your brain regulates your blood pressure. It gets messages from your body and senses, which it processes to decide how high your blood pressure should be (did you get an unexpected expense, have your arteries narrowed, etc.) But, just like a CEO of a major corporation, your brain makes the final decision.

The problem is that your brain gets used to firing off high blood pressure orders. It becomes an unconscious habit. And just like other bad habits, this habit needs to be broken.

The method I use to break this “habit of high blood pressure” is something I call a Focused Break.

Throughout the years, thousands of clients have used these easy Focused-Break exercises, to bring their blood pressure successfully down to a healthy level.

This is by far the easiest and most effective method I know to drop blood pressure permanently.
