NADH lowers high blood
pressure (2 of 2)
. . . continued from the previous page
High Blood Pressure Facts:
The American Heart Association states high blood pressure is a known high
risk factor which significantly increases the risk of a heart attack
or stroke.
Age:
Research shows half the people in America over the age 55 have high blood
pressure or hypertension. Who comes to mind when you think of someone over the
age 55? Would they know they have a 50 / 50 chance of having high blood pressure? You
should tell them of their risk.
Women with high blood pressure:
Hypertension is 2 to 3 times as common in women who have taken oral
contraceptives for 5 years or more. A woman's blood pressure is (on average) 20% lower
during their reproductive years than a man's blood pressure (of the same age, size and
weight.) After menopause, a woman's blood pressure level rises to almost equal a man's
blood pressure level.
Monitor:
At the minimum, your blood pressure should be checked every year. If it's over
the normal rate because of smoking, weight, or age, it should be checked 3 to 6 times a
year. If it is high, blood pressure should be checked 3 to 6 times a month! Keep
your blood pressure normal. It's less work.
Blood pressure rates:
What's a normal blood pressure level? It's difficult to define normal
because blood pressure can change based on age, sex, size and a few other factors that
relate closely with normal metabolism. The American Heart Association (AHA) says: 
- normal systolic is less than 130.
- normal diastolic is less than 85.
- AHA also states: optimal blood pressure is 120 / 80 millimeters of
mercury. (It's the way blood pressure is measured.)
Systolic readings:
A Harvard University study finds systolic readings (top number) that are only slightly
above normal significantly increases the risks of heart attack or stroke.
Contrary to popular belief:
The AHA states systolic hypertension (in which only the top number is high)
is just as risky as diastolic hypertension (where only the bottom number is high).
Stress:
For years, its been believed that mental stress (in any form)
increases blood pressure and causes heart attacks.  Duke University Medical Center at Durham NC, created mental
stress tests and found those suffering from mental stress are 3 times more
likely to suffer a heart attack within 5 years.
Who could have experienced more stress than President George Washington,
Father of our Country? Washington's stress management technique is found in a speech he
made:
- When suffering the turmoil of making a decision with far
reaching effects, he finds himself driven to his knees in prayer for guidance.
Smoking:
When someone smokes (smoking anything) their blood pressure goes up. Most
cigarette smokers suffer from hypertension and don't know it. A smoker has a 400% greater
chance of a heart attack than non-smokers.
Over weight by 24 lbs:
Obesity doubles the risk of high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke. Brigham
and Women's Hospital of Boston, MA, tracked more than 100,000 women from ages 30 to 55,
for more than 16 years. They found those who have gained more than 24 pounds after the age
18 faced double the risk of a blood clot induced heart attack or stroke.
Lowering High Blood Pressure
The best defense:
The best defense is very simple: exercise, improve your diet, take vitamins and
ditch the nasty habits.
Reducing high blood pressure:
Some cardiovascular and heart disease risks are impossible to change. You can't change
your age, or your family's genes. You can take NADH. It has been proven to bring high
blood pressure to within normal ranges.
 government doctors at Georgetown
University Medical Center found that a daily dosage of Co-E1® / NADH 5mg (a new diet
supplement) lowered high blood pressure to within normal ranges in 11 weeks.
 There are a number of simple actions the suffers of high blood
pressure can do to reduce the risks of heart attack. They are:
- stop smoking
- lose weight
- exercise
- reduce alcohol consumption (by at least half)
- reduce salt (sodium) intake to less than 1 teaspoon a day. This is
a sodium intake of less than 2,400 mg (milligrams) per day.
- increase potassium intake to 3,500 mg per day. For comparison, one banana
contains 500 mg, one potato with skin contains 850 mg, a half a cup of spinach contains
about 400 mg.
- Avoid eating "fast foods". Avoid convenience food places (like
hamburger places). Avoid frozen dinners, frozen pizzas, canned meals, canned and dried
soups, packaged snacks and much more.
- Check the nutrition label for sodium (salt) content. If you
don't know how to read the nutrition label, now is a great time to learn.
