The sad fact about high blood pressure is that as happy as doctors are to prescribe medications for it, they have absolutely no idea what causes it.<\/p>\nThe sad fact about high blood pressure is that as happy as doctors are to prescribe medications for it, they have absolutely no idea what causes it.<\/p>\n
Yes, they may give you buzz words such as narrow arteries, high cholesterol, genetics, overweight, salt, out of shape \u2026 buzz, buzz, buzz!<\/p>\n
But when pressed harder, scientists are actually clueless.<\/p>\n
Now, however, a new study from the University of Birmingham reveals an amazingly simple cause of high blood pressure \u2026 leading to an even simpler natural cure.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve long been a big fan of blaming stress for most cases of high blood pressure.<\/p>\n
The problem is that it\u2019s so difficult to measure stress.<\/p>\n
Yes, we all know emotional stress and even mental stress. But less understood are other types of stress.<\/p>\n
If you get the common flu (or any other disease), your body suffers physical stress. Same goes with air pollution.<\/p>\n
Loud traffic noise, fast moving crowd \u2026 these have been proven to cause sensual stress and raise blood pressure.<\/p>\n
These different types of stress raise different types of stress hormones. When added up, they cause high blood pressure and other physical and mental issues.<\/p>\n
Oftentimes, it\u2019s easiest to get clear conclusions when we\u2019ve serious conditions. So the Birmingham study focused on people suffering with Conn syndrome.<\/p>\n
This syndrome has been known to increase a stress hormone called aldosterone, which is credited with about 10% of all high blood pressure cases.<\/p>\n
To lower aldosterone and blood pressure, doctors prescribe ACE inhibitors. Usually with very little success.<\/p>\n
The Birmingham study, however, found that Conn syndromers also had high cortisol levels (another common stress hormone). And the combination of the two stress hormones was really what skyrocketed their blood pressure level.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n And that was really the reason no one drug could help a lot.<\/p>\n So, to lower your blood pressure, you need a method that takes on the underlying causes of stress. And therefore lowers all types of stress hormones.<\/p>\n
