HYPERTENSION, HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE AND STRESS
High blood pressure, stress, and hypertension are usually caused by a lack of proper nutrition. Improper nutrition weakens the internal organs, immune system, and lowers the organs' abilities to utilize nutrients, which feed the body. The body begins to starve because of the loss of proper nutrients. This starvation creates a nutritional debt. The nutritionally starved body tries to get more nutrients to pay the debt. Consequently, the body demands more food (nutrients in the blood) by drawing on poor (below-nutrient-Ievel) blood. In order to increase the nutrients the body needs, it must get nutrients from the blood, so it increases the quantity of blood by increasing the pressure. The increase in pressure is the body's attempt to feed itself. This increase in pressure is the body's last resort to defend itself against this bodily pollution.
Gland disorders, free radicals, kidney weakness, hypertension, overweight, emotional stress, toxemia, deteriorating metabolism, are just a few we will mention that is a result of this dis-ease, all because of the junk food diet. An inflexible vascular system is unable to bring pressure down. The pressure gets high and cannot come down to normal. However, the increased blood pressure fails to nourish the body, because junk foods (are fiber-less and enzyme depleted) are depleted of nutrients. This results in hypertension and stress.
The blood nutrients can only be supplied by a natural whole foods diet. Additionally, the blood can have an accumulation of waste floating in it. This waste gets into the veins and arteries causing them to lose flexibility. The more cellular and chemical waste there is in the blood, the less oxygen and nutrients. The pressure is elevated in order to get more nutrients delivered to starved tissue, but instead brings more waste and less air. This rise in blood pressure demands more nutrients to sustain the high blood pressure, in the blood-thick with waste--stresses the heart and causes a nutritional unpaid debt. This is a case of nutritional suicide as high blood pressure causes high pressure, which in turn causes an extreme nutrient loss called low blood pressure. (African Holistic Health; Afrika)
