Quotes on Food and Health
"Let food be your medicine, and medicine be your food" - Hippocrates

"One must eat to live and not live to eat." Moliere
"To eat an apple going to bed

"Land with lots of herring can get along with few doctors" Dutch proverb.
"Eat leeks in March and wild garlic in May

"The right kind of food is the most important single factor in the promotion of health; and the wrong kind of food is the most important single factor in the promotion of disease." Robert McCarrison
"Every disease is a meaningful defensive measure on the part of the body, an attempt to compensate for damage caused by homotoxins. Therefore supporting the body's antihomotoxic efforts is the most effective and well tolerated form of treatment" Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg (from Dr. C. E. V. Gonzales book on cancer prevention.)
This ia a rather contrarian if no a renegade view on reducing blood pressure, While he also recommends exercise, other food intakes, the main thesis of Mercola is to reduce fructose intake to reduce blood pressure. He also recommends breast feeding of infants (vs formula milk) as the infants who are breast fed for 12 months have less risk of developing high blood pressure.disease.
Now going back to fructose. Those who have high fructose intake of 74 grams or more (the equivalent of 2.5 cans of sugary drinks) have 77% chance of developing high blood pressure. High insulin level = high blood pressure
Logic:
1. High insulin level causes the excretion of magnesium. Magnesium goes out with the urine. Magnesium causes muscles to relax. With low levels of magnesium, muscles ,especially of blood vessels constrict, lessening free flow of blood thus elevating blood pressure.
Is coffee good for high blood pressure? Isnt coffee a stimulant and caffeine would cause your blood pressure to shoot skywards?
Well not all coffee. Extracts from green coffee.
Nitric oxide, protects the blood vessels by causing them to dilate and be flexible. This is a result from study/findings of 3 Nobel prize winners. (It is odd that nitrous oxide, part of gasoline combustion engine waste is toxic, and nitroglycerin, discovered by the founder of Nobel is an explosive.)
Nitric oxide also comes from L Arginine (which is used to increase muscle mass by weightlifters) and its vasodilating effect is good for ED)
Green coffee makes nitric oxide available in the blood vessels.
About 36 million Americans are afflicted with high blood pressure and of that 14 million, according to CDC of Atlanta, do not know that they have the disease.
Having high blood pressure increases the risk of stroke and heart attack.
High blood pressure can be alleviated with exercise, diet, and stress management.
To be excluded from your diet are beer, grains, fructose, Some treatments include Vit C, D, E, nitrous oxide. olive extract and magnesium
The following video tells us how to get the nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide, effectively removes plaques from the blood vessels. This negates the theory that plaque formation is prevented by statins, a multi billion pharma industry. How come not so many people know this Ignarro discovery? Blame the...
It is odd that Alfred Nobel who started that Nobel Prize and who used nitroglycerin in his invention was the inspiration by Prof. Murad for studying
NO3 as a vasolidator. Why was nitroglycerin in giving relief when given to angina patients. What was the EDRF - the endothelium relaxing agent? (Dr. prescott) Ignarro took inspiration from Murads discovery and EDRF.
But Nitrous Oxide is also considered an environmental pollutant (from automotive exhaust)
