Feb 4, 2010, Isoflavone Supplement and Arterial Function

In a study of 102 heart patients, those who received 80 mg/day of isoflavone (soy bean extract) greatly improved endothelial dysfunction. This resulted in beneficial artery dilation in response to blood flow.

From these results we can surmise that blood pressure would be lowered if isoflavone supplements were taken regularly.

Blueberry leaves may lower blood pressure according to laboratory studies. The leaves inhibit angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). This is an important discovery because ACE inhibitor medications are common in treating hypertension. In one study, blueberry leaf extract helped prevent the development of hypertension in rats susceptible to the condition.

Might be wise to include blueberry leaf tea in our daily regimens. Follow the link below to other beneficial aromatic teas.

Jan 5, 2010, Systolic Above 140 Is Not Always Bad

Although many medical doctors know that hypertension medications will lower blood pressure, what they don't know is whether lowering blood pressure will reduce the risks of heart attacks and strokes.

Various studies have shown that the use of medication may cause more harm than good for people with systolic hypertension (diastolic below 90 and systolic above 140).

Our recommendation for these hypertensives is to concentrate on diet and exercise and see a competent holistic practitioner.
