With hypertension born Heart disease and stroke




When I found out I had hypertension boy was I surprised. Less than two months prior I had the optimal blood pressure measurement 140/70, this had thrown me for a loop. Here I was exercising 5 days per week and eating healthy not to mention my weekly trip to get a massage and what, plague with hypertension. My blood pressure had taken off like a bat out of hell and was rising on a daily basis, panic started to set in which is not good when you have hypertension. Not knowing what to do I consulted my doctor who quickly informed me that my blood pressure was 170/116, he wrote a prescription for a pressure reducing drug and sent me on my way. Not feeling quite satisfied I went home and started my research on hypertension and the natural remedies that were available. With the knowledge I uncovered, I made the decision not to take the medication but to take the natural remedies path.
What I found out was hypertension was linked to heart disease and stroke not to mention all the ailments to other organs in the body. It was and is advised to take the medication prescribed by the doctor. I however opted to start a daily regime of 2 cloves of crushed garlic with apple cider vinegar, 1 cayenne pepper capsule twice, fish oil capsule, coq10, vitamin e and hawthorn berry tea. This I did for 2 months after which my blood pressure was reduced dramatically. This after trying other concoction worked.
Things I had done to try and lower pressure (I found not all these were effect for me)
Beet juice (not so tasty)
1 celery stick daily
Daily morning laughter (hard when nothing is funny)

Fibroids


Fibroids
These buggers can be annoying and a pain; they are a non-cancerous growth that is the number one cause of hysterectomies. Great news, it is however easy to keep fibroids under control.

1.
Take your vitamin Bs
Fibroids are fueled by estrogen. By taking a B complex you will greatly improve the odds of bothering with fibroids. Beans are a good provider of this vitamin. Eat at least six servings of whole grains daily to get you vitamin B.

2.
Fill up on your Greens,
Women that consume lots of red meat tend to have a higher rate of fibroids. Foods that are packed with hormones diminishes the liver’s ability to keep estrogen in check. By contrast, women who eat a lot of vegetables have a lower risk of having fibroids significantly. So, ladies consume 10 servings of fruits and vegetables daily and you will find you are in the preventable mode.
3.
Drink up your Wine,
But, no more than one glass. Excess alcohol can increase your estrogen level by over 300%. Keep the wine intake to a minimum by one glass per day.
4. Take that Stroll,
Going for a nice walk for at least 45 minutes will significantly help. It boost’s circulation, it takes away excess estrogen and speed up the breakdown of fibroids.
5. Lycopene will do it,
Fuel up on your tomatoes and pink grapefruits. The lycopene in these fruits will starve off the fibroids or reduce the size and numbers you have. So, eat up your tomato sauce, drink your tomato juice and fruit grapefruit juice. If at all possible consume tomatoes cooked.
