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

By Robert A. Simmons, D.C.

I am a practicing chiropractor in Charlotte NC. I have noticed that many families are living on a fast food diet. This has contributed to the obesity crisis in America. Consumption of calories from sugar and fat is climbing at an alarming rate. High blood pressure medication is one of the most popular and widely used.

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.

Various parts of the body are being damaged by the side effects of many medications. This is causing further deterioration of the body. Blood pressure medicine can cause more damage to the body in the long run. Many people are turning to Chiropractors so that they may 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.

The cause of the high blood pressure is still continuing and not being treated. The damage can go on for years, without treatment, if the patient doesn't seek of the original cause of the disease. Most times a lifestyle change can be made to lower the blood pressure without medication.

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.

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. - 17269
