Natural High Blood Pressure Treatment

Natural High Blood Pressure Treatment

Natural High Blood Pressure Treatment

Keep in mind that high blood pressure is usually present for many years before its complications develop. The idea, therefore, is to begin a natural high blood pressure treatment early, before it damages critical organs in the body. Accordingly, increased public awareness and screening programs to detect early, uncomplicated hypertension are the keys to successful treatment. The point is that by treating high blood pressure with natural solutions early enough, you can significantly decrease the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure.

Tom Venuto: Today my guest is Frank Mangano, who is the author of The Silent Killer Exposed, which is the best selling e-book on the net on the subject of natural high blood pressure treatment, and that website is: www.TheSilentKillerExposed.com

Now this is a subject I’m passionate about for a couple reasons. First, because the issue goes hand in hand with the obesity issue, which is my primary area of research and expertise and second, because I’m not only an advocate of losing fat and developing your body without drugs, but also an advocate of improving your health in natural ways without drugs, whenever that is possible.

Your health is absolutely your greatest wealth because everything else in your life is meaningless if you don’t have your health. You have to put your own health at the very top of your life priority list. You can’t spend quality time with your family or advance your career, or enjoy anything else in life if you’re laid up in a hospital bed… or worse.

As a natural bodybuilder and fat loss coach, I’m interested not only in being muscular and having six pack abs and so on, but also feeling great and enjoying great health. What good is it to look great on the outside when you’re a mess on the inside, right? So when I say the word natural, I’m referring not only to saying no to steroids and weight loss drugs, but also staying away from other drugs, if those drugs are being used as a means of treating symptoms and not addressing causes, and if there’s an alternative.

First off, before we get into talking about this problem of high blood pressure, how it relates to the obesity problem and what are some natural approaches to fixing it let, me just back up for a minute and explain how I found out about Frank.

For many years, I was the manager of a chain of health clubs here in the New Jersey and New York Metropolitan area, and I met Frank because coincidentally, he was a member of one of our health clubs located in Brooklyn. At the time, I had no idea he was a natural health book author and expert on blood pressure, he was just one of the guys at the gym. It was only later that he found my Burn The Fat website by accident and mentioned that he also had a website dedicated to natural approaches to better health, and that’s how we originally connected.

So Frank, thank you for this interview and why don’t we get started by you telling us about your background. Specifically, what made you take an interest in researching natural high blood pressure treatment – was it an academic interest, or was it personal, like did you or a family member have high blood pressure, or was it something else?

Frank Mangano: Hey Tom, it’s a pleasure to do this interview with you. Before I answer that, I just want to add that I couldn’t agree more with what you said about “Health is wealth.” The statement is so important and so true.

I also want to point out something before we get started. What we're going to talk about here is purely intended as reference material and as a way to open the door to a discussion between patients and their doctors about alternative ways to manage blood pressure. It's my honest opinion that if someone with hypertension wants to lower their blood pressure, it can be done in a natural way and without the same side effects you often get with drugs. The advice I give isn't intended as medical or professional advice but only a way to give people the tools they need to make informed decisions about their lifestyles and their health. The information we talk about tonight should not be used as a substitute for any treatment that has been prescribed or recommended by a doctor. If someone is currently taking medication for high blood pressure then they should continue to do so unless they are advised by their doctor to do otherwise. The same is true about the information in my book. I am not a healthcare professional. If you've been told by a healthcare professional that you have high blood pressure, or if you've taken a blood pressure reading at a pharmacy or at home that is within the range of what's considered high blood pressure, then it's imperative that you get medical attention and the advice of your healthcare provider. You should never begin a diet or exercise program without first consulting with a qualified healthcare professional.

As for my research, Tom, it all started when my mom was diagnosed with high cholesterol. She was afraid of taking statin drugs, and with good reason. She came to me for help and asked what I thought she could do to avoid taking prescription medications. And so my research began. But I didn’t go right out looking for a solution, I first wanted to know everything there was to know about high cholesterol, so I started reading and studying all the information I could find on the topic. Once I understood it completely, my research expanded into what specifically could be done to lower it naturally.

I took what I learned and created a plan for my mom based strictly on hard science. The end result is that her LDL – which is the bad cholesterol - dropped almost 40 points. Because of this she was able to avoid taking prescription drugs. This was very exciting for me – obviously – because this was my mom, but also because this led to my first book which is called, “The 60 Day Prescription Free Cholesterol Cure.”

According to my research, I discovered that many times, although not always, people who had high cholesterol also had “hypertension”, better known as high blood pressure. At that point I wanted to be sure my mom wouldn’t develop high blood pressure and so I started researching again. I looked for a natural high blood pressure treatment.

Ever since I released my first book, I’ve been on a mission to find solutions for people who want to improve the quality of their lives, without chemical drugs. Often times, doctors will write a prescription for some drug that the profit-minded pharmaceutical companies are pushing when the drug isn’t even necessary! Whatever happened to good nutrition and exercise?

Tom Venuto: Good nutrition and exercise - AMEN to that! When was the last time your doctor took out that prescription pad and wrote: weight lifting 3 times a week, and do cardio or go for a walk every day for 30 minutes? Okay, would you give a real quick definition of what high blood pressure is and how someone would know if they have it?
