Blood Pressure Naturally and Your Inner Balance

Suppose you’re one of the millions of Americans who are undergoing treatment for conditions associated with an imbalance in blood pressure. In that case, you may want to take the bull by the horns and start implementing cannabis into your health regimen, but first, let’s start with a bit of physiological insight.

Does The Endocannabinoid System Help Regulate And Reduce Your Blood Pressure Naturally?

In conjunction with the autonomic nervous system, the endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a physiological platform in the human body that helps to regulate homeostasis. The systems work together to maintain your body’s stability, including a healthy balance of day-to-day patterns and natural functions.

The ECS, in particular, plays a vital role in maintaining optimal conditions when it comes to relaxing, eating, sleeping, memory, and protecting the body, making it one of the essential signaling and receptor systems involved in establishing and maintaining our health. Along with the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, our ECS system helps to regulate our blood pressure.

One of many serious health concerns that  Americans face is hypertension. Life is full of stressful situations, and many of us would find it hard to relax under the array of taxing conditions we face daily,  especially if our health is a concern. If you’re not getting enough sleep, you could develop hypertension. Furthermore, in stressful situations, our spontaneous fight/or flight response, that built-in mechanism that protects us from danger, could increase heart rate and induce high blood pressure.

On the other hand, people with low blood pressure are more likely to faint in such situations. Additionally, in cases of low blood pressure, both your memory and mental functions could be affected.

If you are suffering from high blood pressure, your doctor would undoubtedly recommend a change in your diet, like eliminating salt, for example. So, aside from dietary changes, how can we keep the ECS optimized at total capacity for better blood pressure regulation?

Cannabis May Help Reduce Your Blood Pressure Naturally

 

According to the many doctors recommending it, cannabis is the answer! In a study published on April 1, 2021, in the European Journal of Internal Medicine, it was concluded that “(a)mongst older adults  with hypertension, cannabis treatment for three months was associated with a clinically  meaningful reduction in 24-hours systolic and diastolic blood pressure values.”

Based on a statistical report published in 2020, 34.2 million Americans have diabetes.  Elizabeth Seaquist, MD, Prof. of Medicine at University of Minnesota Medical School, explains that in chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, patients “are at (an)  increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease. They’re also more likely to get vascular dementia — memory loss caused by blood vessel damage and poor blood flow to the brain. And,  they’re at greater risk for mild cognitive impairment, memory problems that can  sometimes lead to Alzheimer’s disease.”

If you have Alzheimer’s disease or other chronic conditions, such as kidney disease, high cholesterol or hormone imbalance, you may want to ask your doctor if cannabis is a good option for you.

More Cannabinoid And Food Sources To Help Reduce Your Blood Pressure Naturally

 

There are other cannabinoid sources you could consume to help maintain optimum ECS balance, such as black pepper, turmeric, cinnamon, black truffles, and cacao, which also have various other health benefits. Additionally, Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids work synergically to support your ECS.

If you consume meat, you will likely have an excess of Omega 6 in your diet. If you are vegan, consuming only a plant-based diet, you would probably only get Omega 6 fatty acids from cooking oils safflower, sunflower, or corn oil. A few specific Omega 3 fatty acids sources are hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and walnuts. A simple option to integrate these Omega fatty acids into your diet could be adding the mentioned nuts and seeds to a plate of healthy greens, drizzling a little sunflower oil, and enjoying!

The bottom line is that high blood pressure can affect all areas of homeostasis. Your doctor can provide recommendations specifically related to your symptoms or disease, and there is likely a supportive booster set of cannabis supplements that you could find at bepainfreeglobal.com that may be useful even for those who aren’t suffering from significant health problems!
