Blood pressure medication could reduce your life expectancy

With good intentions, your doctor may prescribe antihypertensive medication if you suffer from blood pressure somewhat high.

It is true that hypertension can be fatal, but unfortunately the drugs The chemical drugs currently used to reduce this problem are just as effective, especially since doctors currently prescribe this type of drug for very low hypertension, or even as a preventive measure. In these moderate cases, there is no need for a prescription, because in the vast majority of these cases, a good dietary reform would be sufficient to restore normal physiological functioning.

A study was conducted on diabetic patients. They received one or more medications for hypertension, including beta blockers, calcium pump antagonists, and diuretics. The goal was for them to return to a blood pressure of 130 mmHg, the standard required for people with diabetes. The first finding of the researchers was that the combination of several drugs did not specifically lead to better results.

Second, that the group with the longest life span was the one not treated with this type of drug, but with the lowest blood pressure, i.e. between 130 and 140 mmHg. And finally, that highly medicated patients had a very low life expectancy despite a very low blood pressure. It has also been observed that low blood pressure may correlate with a high risk of cardio-vascular events.

In conclusion, there is a big difference between preserving the cardiovascular system and maintaining a reasonable blood pressure level through daily nutritional measures and forcing the body to stay within the norms through chemical crutches.
