So many Americans suffer from high blood pressure (hypertension) due to our society’s poor dietary practices. The usual medical protocol is to diagnose high blood pressure if the measured values are greater than 130/80. Drugs are used in an attempt to regulate the high pressure over the course of a lifetime. Anyone for a lifetime of prescription drug costs?
There are many natural ways to lower blood pressure consistently. One is simply DRINK MORE WATER! No, coffee, tea, soda, or alcohol of any kind does not count. You need (we all need) more water. Secondly, we could all afford to eat more fruits and veggies. Raw is best, and the more, the better. Juicing can help get lots of great nutrients quickly. I feel that for the money the Jack LaLanne Juicer is the best, and is easy to find on sale, too. Third, and possibly most important, have your atlas adjusted by an upper cervical(neck) specialist of which I am one.
These specialized chiropractors can be hard to find because there are a relative few of us. For instance, I practice an upper cervical technique called Blair. There are 3 of us in the entire state of Colorado, therefore I see patients from all over Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and Kansas. A couple of great places to find an upper cervical doctor near you are: www.blairchiropractic.com and www.upcspine.com.
Recently, Good Morning America had a special news segment on the effectiveness of specific atlas adjustments and reducing high blood pressure. Click on the link for the video. The overall lesson is that Blair Chiropractic is more than just neck pain, back pain, and headaches (although, we are great at fixing these, too). It is about restoring health and your body’s own ability to heal itself, as long as there is no interference to the function of the nervous system. Enjoy the video.
