Lower Blood Pressure Naturally

For many men, middle age can simultaneously bring rising blood pressure along with flagging abilities in the bedroom. And while erectile dysfunction (ED) is more obviously a male problem, it can also affect women with a related set of physical issues and a loss of libido.

The fact that hypertension and difficulties with sexual function often appear linked is no coincidence. After all, both conditions typically arise from the same origin: poor blood flow.

Good circulation is the foundation of health. Everything from strong muscle function to a sharp mind (Alzheimer’s disease has been linked to poor circulation) to a firm erection depend on good circulation and healthy blood pressure. But when blood flow is restricted, often by clogged and rigid arteries, blood pressure rises and erections droop.

While hypertension and ED are serious enough problems on their own, they are also early indicators of even greater problems to come.

High blood pressure increases the load on the heart, making it vulnerable to failure. Poor circulation prevents healthy amounts of oxygen and other nutrients from being supplied to the brain and other organs. It also results in a build-up of toxic waste products as they are not removed from the body as efficiently as they should be. Damage accumulates and the body eventually succumbs to an accelerating spiral of systematic breakdown.

Luckily, the situation is frequently reversible. This is where Viagra comes into the picture… but not quite in the way you may be thinking. You may know that Viagra and its cohorts help men to get erections by increasing blood flow. It does this primarily by stimulating the body to produce nitric oxide, a gas that works in the cells to expand blood vessels.

Now, as most men can appreciate (and hopefully their partners too), a good boner is something great to have. But Viagra offers something even greater (in the long term, anyway): lower blood pressure!

That’s right… reduced blood pressure is the natural result of increased blood flow. The way Viagra and similar drugs act is exactly what many blood pressure medications hope to achieve. In fact, ED drugs are currently undergoing testing and further development as hypertension medications.

For the time being though, Viagra and similar drugs are, sadly, a temporary fix and treat the symptom only.

But did you know that you can achieve the same effect as that of Viagra through natural ways to lower blood pressure? Slow breathing, for example, especially when combined with listening to relaxing music, has been documented to generate significant amounts of nitric oxide that also lasts a lot longer than the effects of Viagra. So does exercise and a healthy, natural diet.

What’s more, natural blood pressure reduction is not just a quick fix but stands to improve your overall, long-term health… in fact, your entire life (not just your sex life)!

So if you’re starting to flag in the bedroom or even if your libido is not what it once was, it could be a sign of high blood pressure and even worse circulatory problems to follow…

But before running to your doctor for the little blue pills that offer only a quickie, you may want to investigate natural and longer-lasting ways to reduce your blood pressure.
