Lower Your High Blood Pressure By Consuming Natural Antioxidants!
According to recent studies, about 1 in 3 U.S. adults has high blood pressure, but because there are no symptoms, nearly 1/3 of these people don't know they have it; some have it for years without knowing it. High blood pressure is often called the "silent killer" because if uncontrolled it can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure or kidney failure. The only way to find out if you have it is to have it checked. You can reduce your risks of these diseases by simple lifestyle changes such as including and/or increasing antioxidants to your everday diet.
Blood pressure is the force in the arteries when the heart beats (systolic pressure) and when the heart is at rest (diastolic pressure). Blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 mm Hg systolic pressure or greater than or equal to 90 mm Hg diastolic pressure is defined as high blood pressure (hypertension). It can directly increase the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke (which leads to heart attack), especially when it's present with other risk factors. High blood pressure can happen in children or adults, but it's more likely common among people over age 35. It's usually prevalent in African Americans, middle-aged and elderly people, obese people, heavy drinkers adn women taking birth control pills. It may be genetic, but many people that have a strong family history of high blood pressure never have it. People with gout, kidney disease, or diabetes mellitus are more likely to have it too.
There has been lots of scientific research on dark chocolate. I know chocolate has a calming effect, but they have found scientific proof that it will help lower your blood pressure due to different antioxidants in the dark chocolate. Read the articles below to find out for yourself.
You can find Xocai Dark Chocolate on my Healthy Chocolate Page. This healthy chocolate is good for you because it does not contain the bad fats just the good. Xocai Healthy Chocolate does not have caffeine, preservatives, fillers, waxes, refined white sugar, milk fats or trans fats! It is has not been alkalized because excess heat of about 100 degrees Fahrenheit destroys antioxidants.
Dark chocolate is healthy chocolate! Cacoa powder (dark chocolate) is the highest-rated antioxidant food source-much greater than red wine or green tea. The USDA uses the ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) scale to measure the antioxidant capacities of different foods. Unprocessed cocoa powder is number one and has an ORAC value of 26,000 per 100 grams (3.5 ounces). Number two is Acai Berry with a ORAC value of 18,500 per 100 grams, and they are both in the Xocai Healthy Chocolate along with blueberries and lots of other natural ingredients. What does these numbers mean? See what Dr. Warren has wrote at www.mydrchocolate.com and go to research.
