WHAT’S WRONG WITH EXCESS WEIGHT: BLOOD PRESSURE CARDIAC, PERIPHERAL RESISTANCE

In medical school we learned a simple formula: Blood Pressure = Cardiac Output x Peripheral Resistance. This means that blood pressure will increase if the heart works harder to keep the blood flowing through the body, or if the blood vessels put up more resistance to the flow of blood by becoming, for example, more narrow. With the heart pumping harder to push blood through narrowed arteries, with both the cardiac output and the peripheral pressure up, the blood pressure rises. It’s
simple mathematics.
Consuming a high-fat diet that “thickens” the blood and clogs the arteries pushes the blood pressure up, often to dangerously high levels. There are medicines to handle the situation, but they sometimes have serious side effects. The best, safest, natural, and most permanent solution is to clean out your arteries and thin your blood by adopting my Fat Blocker Program. You can also often reduce the risk of elevated arterial pressure by losing weight. This is another way of lowering the risk of suffering or dying from cardiovascular disease.7
I’ve seen the beneficial effects of the Fat Blocker Program on elevated blood pressure many times. In fact, one of my early successes was with my longtime friend Dick, who one day discovered that his blood pressure had shot up to 195/115 as his waistline ballooned to 42. His personal physician put him on beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers, two very powerful medicines. The drugs pushed his pressure down to 130/85, but they also gave him depression, fatigue, vertigo, and impotence. He was given other drugs to deal with those problems, but the second round of medications left the poor 42-year-old feeling weak and more tired than ever.
By the time I saw him he said was ready to “drop the damn drugs altogether and take my chances with the high blood pressure.”
I convinced Dick to stay with the drugs for just a little while longer, until they could safely be reduced, then eliminated. After 4 months of the Fat Blocker Program, he had lost 40 pounds and was consuming or absorbing significantly less fat than before. His blood pressure dropped down to 120/80, which is normal and healthy. He was able to discard all his medicines, and the unpleasant side effects were soon nothing more than an unhappy, distant memory.
