Understanding High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)

High blood pressure (also known as hypertension) normally takes place when the blood becomes too thick and presses up against the walls of your cells. Blood pressure levels are considered high once they are above 130.

Although stress can cause high blood pressure, the main cause is lack of water. Think of your body as a ketchup bottle that's only half way filled. The ketchup by itself is really thick, but when you add water it begins to thin out, and as you shake the bottle the ketchup can move freely throughout the whole bottle. Without enough water the blood becomes thick, causing high blood pressure — but when you add water to the body the blood is thinned out, and with exercise the body is being moved causing the blood to flow properly throughout your whole body.

Immediate Relief

If the blood pressure is extremely high, garlic, cayenne pepper, and lots of water will bring immediate relief. Smash a clove of garlic and take it with a glass of water mixed with a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. This remedy has proven itself effective time and time again.

I met a woman while visiting the villages in Cuba whose blood pressure was high. As her daughters began to give her medication, I asked if they could give the garlic and water a trial rather than the meds. They allowed me to do so, and 30 minutes later her blood pressure levels were normal.

Many may wonder why, if it is that simple, the doctors don't prescribe it. The truth is, there's no money in garlic and water.
