Blood Pressure Medications Are they the Causing of Your High Blood Pressure?

By Dr. Robert Simmons

One of the most popular and widely used medications are those used for high blood pressure. In America we have an obesity crisis. About two-thirds of Americans are overweight. Practicing chiropractic in Charlotte, NC I have noticed that most families are living on a fast food diet. The calories consumed from fat and sugar is climbing at an alarming rate.

It is hard to believe that we are one of the sickest nations and have access to the best healthcare in the world. America has become an over-medicated society. A common occurrence in our society is Atherosclerosis (harding of the arteries). Another disease on the rise is high blood pressure and diabetes. With these diseases on the rise, blood pressure medication and cholesterol medication have become all too common. The endocrine glands such as adrenals and thyroids are becoming more dysfunctional due to disease from poor diet.

Medication use is causing further deterioration of the body. The side effects of these medications can cause damage to other parts of the body. The medicine used to lower your blood pressure can end up causing more damage to the body in the long run. People are seeing Chiropractors to reduce or eliminate taking medications.

How many times have you heard that someone used to have high blood pressure, but are on medications for it now. The truth is that they still have high blood pressure. The drugs are not meant to treat the cause of the high blood pressure. They just lower the numbers closer to an acceptable level. This is why our charlotte chiropractic clinic encourages patients to seek the cause of their ailments.

Whatever process that was causing the high blood pressure is continuing without being treated. This damaging process can now continue for years without being treated. The patient needs to seek out the original cause of the disease process. Often there are lifestyle changes that need to be made.

A change in life habits will get you on the right road. Consumption of high cost food which requires more time preparation is something that could help. Most of the time convenience food is a lower quality of food. Artificial and meat products contain a larger quantity of fat calories. Look at the list of ingredients, if it is a large number of chemicals, then that is what you are consuming.

Narrowing of the arteries is caused by fat substances. Avoid fast food to reduce the intake of fat and sugar calories. High blood pressure comes from a major contributor which is narrowing of the arteries. More Chiropractors and other physicians are doing consultations with their patients about their diets.

Did you know that sugar is an inflammatory substance? Sugar has the effect of scraping the arteries causing inflammation throughout the body. Sugar stresses the adrenal glands and this increases the stress on the body. Fat and sugar reduction can reduce the need for cholesterol and blood pressure medication.

If you'd ask, most people don't want to be on medications for the rest of their lives. If you are one of those people have your doctor monitor your lifestyle change. You can seek out holistic health care from a Chiropractor to obtain a nutrition program best suited for you. An important procedure for patients is the reduction of medication under the proper supervision. If you are making the proper changes then you won't know without reduction of medication. By living a healthier and happier lifestyle, most of our patients are actually able to reduce or eliminate the use of medications. - 17268
