Hypertension does not just occur on its own, it is a symptom of multiple underlying health conditions including inflammation, oxidation and acidosis. As a result, it is associated (Comorbid) with many other health conditions. That is if you have hypertension you are more likely to have any number of these conditions and visa-versa if you have any one of these conditions you are more likely to have hypertension.
So if you have hypertension you are at increased risk of dozens of other health conditions. Not to mention cardiovascular conditions like elevated cholesterol and blood lipids.
These are some of the conditions linked directly with hypertension
To name some of the major links.
For example Hypertension is associated with a 76% increase risk for vertebral fractures.
While hypertension in patients with autoimmune diseases is also significantly increased and the fact the immune system in primary hypertension mimics several autoimmune mechanisms observed in many autoimmune conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, systemic sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis.
Hypertension is present in approximately one third of patients with type 1 diabetes, especially in men and the risk of renal (kidney) cell cancer is 2-4 times higher for persons with hypertension. Each 10-mmHg increase in blood pressure is associated with 10 and 22% increased risk of kidney cancer. It is also associated with a higher risk of colorectal, prostate cancer and malignant melanoma.
So which one of these will you treat. Following the medical model it is not uncommon for many people to be on more than a dozen drugs to treat all the various symptoms. Interestingly, using drugs to lower hypertension may have a positive impact on some of the conditions it also has been shown to have a negative impact on other ones.
The answer lies not in treating hypertension symptoms but in treating the underlying causes of hypertension and all these other conditions. Literally thousands of studies have shown the benefits of diet and lifestyle factors on hypertension but they never get into the news.
For example more than 10000 studies show you can lower blood pressure naturally and in many cases as effective as any medication, with only positive side effects and at the same time fixing the underlying problems and conditions. I know as I have reviewed more than 1000 studies to create The Complete hypertension solution which is now available in our membership or as a stand alone Masterclass which includes all our other MasterClasses for just $20 more. You can lower your blood pressure naturally and improve all the other health conditions related to it.
