Following the weeks and months after the horrifying earthquake disaster off Japan’s eastern coast that resulted in an even bigger land disaster with the tsunami, people’s blood pressure was probably the least of their worries.
Now, as things are slowly getting back to normal, Japanese researchers are revealing a groundbreaking discovery regarding high blood pressure, stroke and heart attacks.
This landmark study may completely change how we view what causes high blood pressure and how it should be treated (hint: it doesn’t take medications).
Health researchers in Japan’s Miyagi Prefecture have been studying the health of the residents in one of its hardest hit communities- Watari.
[adrotate group=”5″]What makes their study of the effects of the March, 2011, tsunami unique is that the research started out looking at health markers that may point to lifestyle-related diseases – before the earthquake ever happened. The study started in 2010.
For this reason, the data related to health issues like blood pressure, stroke and heart attack actually has a baseline to which the post-tsunami readings can be compared.
What they found was shocking. For the general population (with a mean age of 68), people affected by the tsunami saw a 5% increase in their systolic readings in blood pressure. What’s worse, though, is the stress of the aftermath forced a 45% spike in the recorded number of strokes and heart attacks.
The silver lining for the casual reader who might be high blood pressure is that the increase in high blood pressure and stroke was caused by one event- the tsunami and its acute stress. That means that for people who are hesitating to explore how eliminating stress can eliminate high blood pressure, stroke and heart attack, the living proof is uncovered again with this new study.
For me, this is nothing new. For decades, I’ve been helping people heal various types of diseases by reducing stress in their lives. The most obvious and quickest disease I’ve witnessed the elimination of is high blood pressure. It has been associated with drop in stress hormones running around the body.
What makes the issue a little more complicated is that stress doesn’t only have to be emotional. It can also be physical (when you’re sick), mental (when working on a task in work) and sensory (when around a heavy traffic or watching war on TV). There is no way to eliminate all these stress factors from your life.

And that wont cost you anything, Lawrence!
Anyone suffering from primary hypertension is probably suffering from stress. We know that. Try Theta Healing as taught by vianna stibal. It is amazing and life changing. It is guaranteed to bring pressure readings to normal as it gets rid of stress at the core level. It even changed my DNA makeup.
Your articles and reader comments too, are astonishing, informational, and hilarious. I love them all!
I am like everyone else; I want a quick easy way to lower my blood pressure! (smile). I have so many health problems that to have any one of them alleviated would be a miracle. I am driven and ridden by stress, anxiety and fear, and many things I do, help a little. It would take all day to use all the different modes I have that will benefit any health problem I have. One machine, treatment, takes 2 hours a day alone. I was a professional working with some of these natural methods daily, and practicing them daily as I was teaching them to others. Still, I had to retire from work due to pain and disability!
I love Blue Heron Health News, and all the creative researchers and writers here, and I use your methods and info often. Now give me something I can breath in, that decreases weight! georgia c here
I lowered my BP reasonably quickly and easily. No added exercise just added oats, avocado (1) and fruits high in pectin (apples grapes etc) each day to my diet, and cut down on cream/fatty foods. Easy! It’s back to normal from very high where I was constantly dizzy, could not go out etc. (I couldn’t tolerate the docs pills due to side effects) Not everyone likes avocado, but it is brilliant at cleaning out arteries. It can be eaten sweet, with a little added honey in a milkshake (skim milk or oat milk etc) or pureed up with pears or apples. yum!
My wife is type 2 diebectic and takes daily noon short naps . AT times she gets stresses out with our adults kids,which is not good for her. She takes meds at this time. Need your advice.
Thanks, Ed
I need to lose 20 lbs and lower my blood pressure. Recently resigned from a very stressful job and plan to work part time at a more peaceful job and environment next time. Now able to take an afternoon nap most days and that does help some now. I do believe stress was a big factor in my weight gain and blood pressure.
Thanks for the Blue Heron Health News! 🙂
