Nutritional Immunology approach towards High Blood Pressure

Current medical approach vs. NI approach on High Blood Pressure

How many of you understand about how high blood pressure / hypertension occurs?

Let's watch the video below to understand more:

From the video, we understand that one of the reason causing hypertension is when there’s fatty deposit on blood vessel and we called it plaque.

And the formation of plague is from 
1. our unhealthy diet/food - we taken in too much of calcium/fats/high cholesterol food unknowingly
2. when our liver is not functioning well – it will produce more bad cholesterol than good cholesterol

Another factor is when our blood vessels/heart is aging, lose the elasticity.

So what is normal people approach when coming to hypertension or high blood pressure? - is it medication?

Do think about few important questions below before you say YES to medication:

What will happen say if we take hypertension medication? 

Is medication able to cure hypertension or just to suppress the symptom? 

How long are we going to take the high blood pressure medication?

Few days? Few months? Few years? Or it’s lifelong?

What about the side effects from the medication?

And there may be few types of HBP, high cholesterol medication etc. What will happen when we need to take long term medication? Will long term medication affect our kidneys & liver?

The answer is YES.

According to research, most of kidney failure cases are due to long term medication. Worse it may also cause kidney dialysis! And when the blood vessels become aged, it will lose the elasticity and may lead to stroke!

Now let’s understand more on how medication lower down the blood pressure.

It will let our heart to pump less blood via our blood vessels. Similar situation as you have your water piping system. If the pressure in your piping is high, what will you do? You turn the water flow smaller right? So that it pumps lesser water through our pipe, and lowering the pressure.

Same thing happens in our cardiovascular system, when we take the medication, it will make our heart to pump lesser blood through our blood vessels. 

In that case, do you think we carry enough oxygen through our body? 
What will happen if oxygen is not enough in our body? 
Will it leads to stroke?

What happen if we exercise? 
Do you heard about the incident of sudden death?  
Yes, because lacking of oxygen in our brain and blood system.

Do you think the plaque are cleared by taking medication?

The answer is No! It’s still there.

By now, do you agree that medication is to control the symptoms? That’s why a person with high blood pressure have to take medication for lifetime.

So over here, I would like to share with you Nutritional Immunology approach on resolving high blood pressure problem.

What is Nutritional Immunology?

From the video, we understand that hypertension occurs when there’s fatty deposit on blood vessel and we called it plaque. Other than that our aging blood vessel which loses elasticity over the time do contribute to fatty deposit on blood vessel.

In Nutritional Immunology, rather than just control the symptoms and further burden on our liver and kidney, isn’t it is important to let our immune system to do the work by itself?

In fact our immune system has it's inbuilt functions to keep our cardiovascular system healthy, eg.:

-         macrophage eating up the bad cholesterol hence to prevent fatty deposits on blood vessel wall.

-          Our body able to self-produce collagen to keep the elasticity of blood vessel wall & internal organs through sufficient consumption of high antioxidant and phytochemicals wholesome plant.

Thru NI approach, we are doing the right way of enhancing our immune system functions through food nourishment instead of using medication which can only causing liver overload. 

-right food to nourish the macrophage to enhance its cleansing ability
-right food to maintain the elasticity of the artery walls & internal organs
-right food to let our body self-produced sufficient of collagen so that we can age gracefully
-right food to nourish liver to produce cholesterol as required , not excessive leading to more bad cholesterol

So first is to enhance our liver so that it won’t produce excessive of cholesterol, to protect our blood vessels.

Next strengthen our immune system so that it will do defense, cleanse & repair by itself.

That will solve the root cause!

This is the Nutritional immunology approach

So back to the fundamental, we are what we eat!

99% of illnesses are due to the malfunctioning of our immune system.

We have learnt so far that in order to have a good health, we need to have a healthy immune system? 

And to have a healthy immune system, we need to know the right nutrition for our immune system.

Food is fuel. Change your life by changing your diets. We're what we eat.

The food most people is eating now is for satisfaction only. Most people is less taking healthy value food. Some even have misleading knowledge about Food. They think they’re eating healthy but actually they're not.
