Garlic And Fish Oil For High Blood Pressure
I have seen many high blood pressure (BP) "natural" medications
that people claim to wipe out their blood pressure. The problem is that
they can never be verified.
And if you say that something isn't a really good natural high blood pressure fighter then you are classed as "in bed with the drug companies".
But when Garlic and Fish Oil are coming round as being BP saviors... this has to be checked out.
Garlic first. It has been well known that Garlic reduces cholesterol. 500mg of Garlic taken over the course of many years (7 in the study) found that it protected arteries from becoming stiff and hardened (due to cholesterol build up).
The compound within garlic that does all the wonderful stuff is called Allicin.
Now indirectly Cholesterol has an effect on Blood Pressure (narrowing of arteries reduces the diameter and increases blood pressure), however Garlic has not been proven to show that it actually causes a direct link to BP.
In fact there are plenty of ways to reduce your BP without having to take Garlic that are more more effective, practical and potent.
Now onto Fish Oil.
This all comes from the Northern Inuit people who have fewer heart attacks, lower cholesterol and a decreased tendency to have blood clots than non-Inuits. Obviously the main reason is that they eat a lot of Whale, Fish and Seal meat... all packed full of Fish Oils?
Fish Oils basically increase the good cholesterol in our bodies and decrease the bad cholesterol.
But, when researched...
The very large doses capsules that are required to be beneficial on BP and cholesterol actually have no effect upon the bad cholesterol.
Large doses have been linked to bleeding, and Vitamin A and D toxicity (A and D are found within Fish Oil).
What some people do not realize is that Fish Oils are naturally fattening and have a high calorie count- which defeats the object to loose weight to reduce your high blood pressure.
But there is a silver lining.
Eating fish (rather than taking the supplements) like Mackerel and Salmon (not tinned Tuna) can actually reduce your BP by an average of 15 mmHg.
Eating the "oily fish" can actually reduce vascular disease and possible protect against heart disease.
For some reason therefore the supplements in large doses have no effect and can actually have a detrimental effect on your Cholesterol/ BP. But eating oily fish can have a positive effect.
Sometimes though we just don't want to keep on eating our way to a healthy body. Wouldn't it be easier (and cheaper) to do about 45 minutes of simple and easy body movements and then be able to reduce your blood pressure?
