High Blood Pressure, Can Your Medications be Causing It?
Did you know that one of the most popular and widely used medications are those used for high blood pressure? There is an obesity crisis in America. Approximately two-thirds of Americans are overweight. Living in Charlotte NC and where I have my chiropractic practice, I've noticed that majority of the families are living on fast food. The rate in which calories are consumed from sugar and fat is climbing at an alarming rate.
America has now become an over-medicated society. It is hard to believe that we have access to the best healthcare in the world, but are one of the sickest nations. Hardening of the arteries (Atherosclerosis) is common in our society. High blood pressure and diabetes continue to rise. Blood pressure and cholesterol medications have become all too common in usage. Poor diet has the endocrine glands such as adrenals and thyroid becoming more dysfunctional.
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.
Have you ever spoken to someone that has had high blood pressure in the past, but now they don't due to medications? Guess what, they still have the high blood pressure, but it is not showing due to the medications they are taking. The drugs aren't meant too treat the cause; they are just to lower the numbers to an acceptable level. At our chiropractic clinic, we like to seek the cause of our patient's ailments.
Whatever the cause is of the high blood pressure it is still present and not being treated. Without treatment the damage can go on for years. Patients need to seek the cause of the disease. Lifestyle changes can often be made to lower the blood pressure with out medications.
There needs to be changes in life habits. This means consuming more high cost foods. This refers to foods that require more time to prepare. The price paid for convenience is lower quality of food. Fat calories are largely contained in meat and artificial products. If the ingredient list is a large number of chemicals then that is what you are eating. You should consume food that is as close to organic as possible.
To reduce the fat and sugar calorie intake, fast food should be avoided. Fat is the substance that leads to your arteries narrowing. This is one of the major contributors of high blood pressure. Chiropractors and other doctors are now consulting with their patients about their diets.
Sugar is an inflammatory substance. It has the effect of scraping the arteries and causing inflammation throughout the body. Sugar actually stresses the adrenal glands which increases the stress on the body. Reduction in fat and sugar can reduce the need for blood pressure and cholesterol medication.
Do you want to be on medication for the rest of your life? Have your doctor monitor your lifestyle changes and seek out holistic health care from a Chiropractor to obtain nutrition programs. One of the most important procedures for patients is the reduction of medication under proper supervision. There will be no way to actually know if the changes you are making are actually working without reduction of medication. Many of our patients are actually able to reduce or eliminate the use of medications and live a healthier and happier lifestyle. - 17274
