High blood pressure is one of the most noticeable red flags indicating a person’s heart and blood vessels are in trouble. Once a person is diagnosed with high blood pressure, he or she is seven (7) times more likely to suffer a stroke, four (4) times more likely to have a heart attack, and five (5) times more likely to die of congestive heart failure. On a positive note, there are well proven ways to control blood pressure and even reverse some of the damage already done.
Blood pressure is the force exerted by the heart on the blood as it moves through a person’s arteries. If a person has high blood pressure, this means the heart is pumping harder than it should have to pump. A healthy blood pressure would read below 120/80, preferably 110/76 or lower. It is considered mildly high blood pressure somewhere around 125/85. Most doctors agree that a blood pressure reading 160/100 or higher are considered dangerous.
High blood pressure, heart disease and stroke are all interrelated in the body’s circulatory system. In a heart attack, there is not enough nutrient rich oxygenated blood to nourish the heart muscle cells. As a result, some heart muscle cells die. When enough heart muscle dies, you have a heart attack. It can be sudden, as a result of a cholesterol/calcium/fibrin clot to the coronary artery, or an embolus, which is a clot that breaks away from another part of your body and ends up clogging your coronary arteries. Another scenario would be if your coronary artery goes into spasm, preventing adequate blood flow, or you can have a small unstable plaque released that goes toward the heart and clogs the coronary artery as well as puts it in more spasm. The end result of all these conditions results in not enough nutrient rich oxygenated blood to sustain heart muscle.
In a stroke, or “brain attack’ as some lay people call it, the brain tissue is damaged due to lack of blood flow. The lack of blood can be caused by a blood clot in an artery that has decreased in size because of spasms or atherosclerosis. It can also be caused when a brain (cerebral) artery leaks blood as in a leaking or ruptured aneurysm.
There are many lifestyle changes a person with high blood pressure can make to fight against these conditions. A change in diet to reduce red meat and saturated fats; and to add more fiber and fresh fruits and vegetables is a very good start. Sodium intake should be reduced, and of course one ought to get regular exercise.
It is believed the reasons for noni’s reported success in helping with high blood pressure are multi-faceted. First of all Morinda Citrifolia contains scopoletin, which has been scientifically proven to dilate blood vessels resulting in lower blood pressure. A second reason that many use noni for high blood pressure is that this fruit juice from Tahiti helps stimulate the body’s production of nitric oxide, a chemical which allows the blood vessels to dilate more easily and be more elastic. The third reason is through noni nutraceuticals that promote a healthy cell structure within the circulatory system.
In a series of studies of high-risk smokers, it was found that those who took 1 to 4 ounces of Tahitian Noni Juice every day for one month experienced a reduction of 19% in cholesterol levels. The same test subjects showed a 20% reduction in particularly harmful triglycerides. The group that was given a placebo showed no significant change in cholesterol and triglyceride levels. This study indicates that noni juice from Tahiti may be able to take a person from dangerous cholesterol levels to safe levels in only one month.
In a survey of 1,989 people who consumed noni juice to help with their high blood pressure, 85% reported their blood pressure decreased. Of the 2,397 people who took noni to help with their symptoms of heart disease, 77% reported lessened symptoms. Lastly, of the 1,893 people who took noni for help with their stroke symptoms, 51% reported it helped.
The average amount consumed by the 85% who reported positive blood pressure results with 3 ounces per day. Those who reported success with stroke and heart disease took on average 3.5 ounces per day.
