REVEALED: How Your Phone Is Spiking Your High Blood Pressure, Making You Sick, And Preventing You From Overcoming High Blood Pressure And Several Other Diseases.

Your phone is dirtier than a toilet seat!

Before you come for my head let me explain.

Studies have shown that our phones have many harmful bacteria, including antibiotic resistance.

That’s because you take your phone everywhere…

You take it to the bathroom, give your kids to play with it, use it while eating, and so on.

This habit helps make your phone a delivery agent of infections that can slow recovery from diabetes, hypertension, etc.

Here are a few ways to make your phone safer:

1. Regular Cleaning: clean your phone with a disinfectant wipe or a cloth with isopropyl alcohol regularly.

2. Avoid using your phone in environments where it can easily pick up germs, such as in the bathroom, toilet, or while eating.

3. Wash your hands regularly to reduce the transfer of germs to your phone. Encourage others, especially children, to do the same.

4. Avoid sharing your phone with so many people, especially if you are aware that they are sick.

Not meeting expectations in the inner room?

Losing s*xual urge and unable to attain or**sm?

It does not matter if you are a man or woman high blood pressure can destroy one’s s*xual life. It can create an avenue for infidelity if care is not taken.

Here are 7 ways hypertension affects s*xual performance negatively:

📌 Nerve Damage

With time, high blood pressure can damage the tiny blood vessels that give nutrients to your nerves. This can lead to being less sensitive, poor arousal, and trouble reaching or**sm.

📌 Reduced Testosterone Levels

High BP is linked to lower testosterone levels in men. Testosterone is an important hormone for s*xual function in both men and women. When testosterone levels are low, it can lead to a lower desire for s*x, difficulty getting or keeping an er****on, and feeling less satisfied with s*x overall

📌 Side Effects from Medications

The side effects of some high BP medications like beta-blockers and diuretics, may include erectile dysfunction, low s*x drive, etc. It is advisable to go natural and avoid chemicals that can affect your performance.

📌 Fatigue and Lack of Energy

High BP may cause fatigue and low energy which makes you less interested in s*x and affect performance.

📌 Mental Struggles

Living with high BP for a long time can lead to mental struggles like stress, anxiety, and feeling down. If your mind is not settled, it affects everything including your performance in matches.

📌 Hormonal Imbalance

High blood pressure can mess with your hormones, making it tricky for your body to produce the right amount of testosterone and estrogen. When hormones get out of whack, it can cause problems in the bedroom, like guys having trouble getting things going, and women having low s*x drive.

📌 Reduced Blood Flow

Inadequate blood flow to the right places can make it hard for men to get or maintain standing equipment, and cause poor lubrication for women.

If you are struggling with high blood pressure (hypertension) and do not want it to affect your s*xual life, marriage, relationship, and entire being, then you need to take immediate action to tackle it naturally.

5 Natural Ways To Stop Heart Palpitations.

Palpitations are feelings of having a fast-breathing, fluttering, or pounding heart. You feel like your heart is beating too hard or too fast and you may notice it in your chest, throat, or neck.

They are mostly caused by stress, anxiety, medication, caffeine, ni****ne, alcohol, vigorous physical activity, medical conditions (high blood sugar, high blood pressure, etc), menstruation, or pregnancy.

Most times this stops on its own and may not cause any problem. But in rare cases, palpitations can be a sign of a serious heart condition.

Here are 5 Natural Ways To Stop Heart Palpitations.:

📌 Engage in relaxation techniques or exercise

Stress can worsen palpitations. So engage in relaxing activities like meditation, deep breathing, focus exercise

📌 Reduce or eliminate stimulant intake

As much as you can, stay away from to***co, illegal drugs, some cold and cough medications, caffeinated beverages, appetite supplements, alcohol, etc.

📌 Stimulate The Vagus Nerve

The Vagus nerve connects the brain to the heart. Stimulating it can help to calm palpitations.

Things like coughing, placing cold or damp towels on the face for a few seconds, splashing cold water on the face, and taking a cold shower can help stimulate the vagus verve.

📌 Keep electrolytes balanced

Electrolytes are molecules found throughout the body that help to transfer electrical signals.

These signals play a significant role in regulating the heart rate. You can achieve this by eating healthy foods that are rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

📌 Stay Hydrated

When the body is dehydrated, the heart has to work harder to circulate blood, which can cause heart palpitations.

You should drink enough water every day, especially when your urine is dark, your heart rate increases, you have a dry mouth, feel thirsty, have a headache, feel dizzy, skin is dry or pruny.

I hope this helps

7 Good Reasons Why Fish Better for High BP Than Meat

1. High in important nutrients.

Fish is packed with many nutrients that most people are lacking. This includes high-quality protein, iodine, and various vitamins and minerals.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for growth and development and help to lower high blood pressure.

2. It lowers your risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Worldwide, heart attacks and strokes are the two most common causes of premature death among hypertensive or diabetic patients.

3. It boosts brain health.

The brain function often declines with aging. Many studies show that people who eat more fish have slower rates of mental decline

4. Good dietary source of vitamin D.

Vitamin D functions like a steroid hormone in your body — and a whopping 41.6% of the Nigerian population is deficient. Fish is a good source of vitamin D.

5. It reduces your risk of autoimmune diseases.

Autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes occur when your immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissues. Hypertension falls into this category too.

6. It protects your vision in old age.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision impairment and blindness. Fish and omega-3 fatty acids may protect against this disease.

7. Wonderful source of high-quality protein.

Fish is one of the best sources of protein. It can improve mental alertness in old age.

PS: As much as you can, don’t fry with oil. Roast, steam, or boil.

I hope this helps.

It’s no secret that what you eat as a patient with high BP matters a lot.

Even if you get the best medications in the world, maintaining healthy blood pressure is hard to achieve with a bad diet.

As much as you like Eba and Fufu, they both contain a high level of carbohydrates and calories that can affect your blood sugar or blood pressure negatively.

Aside from watching your salt intake, your sugar intake should be balanced.

Are you aware that One Cup of Garri contains over 857 Calories?

Excess calories lead to excess fat in your system and this affects your blood pressure negatively.

Here are some swallows that can be used to replace the high-calorie options and lower your BP:

1. Cabbage swallow
2. Carrot swallow
3. Oatmeal swallow
4. Coconut swallow, etc.

If you are serious about maintaining healthy blood sugar or blood pressure, integrate these swallows into your diet.

In my next post, I will talk about how to prepare cabbage swallow.

1 Secret for Staying Healthy and Free From Diseases as you AGE.

The secret to a long and healthy life is clean functioning blood vessels. With this, you can remain completely agile, strong, and active as you age.

Your body will work well with little to no pain at all because the quality of the blood circulation determines the wellness of the organs and systems in the body.

Blood vessels help with the circulation of blood which in turn transports oxygen and nutrients to vital organs.

At a young age, the vessels work well without problem because they are clean and elastic. But as you age, the vessels may become clogged due to factors like smoking, unhealthy eating, poor environment, sedentary lifestyle, and natural factors like depositing of lipids.

A dirty blood vessel is like a pipe full of rust, the pressure of the water increases and the water tastes very bad. When toxic fat, cholesterol, and other substances are deposited in them, the pressure and chances of hypertension increase.

This can also lead to complications such as:

1. Atherosclerosis
2. The ischemic heart disease
3. Stroke
4. Varicose veins
5. Venous and arterial thrombosis

If you are above 30, cleansing your blood vessels can prolong your life and health.

Some natural ways to clean your blood vessels include:

📌 Exercise
📌 Drink enough water
📌 Integrate lemon, garlic, and turmeric into your diet
📌 Avoid smoking, alcohol, and junk foods
📌 Eat cruciferous vegetables

Hope this helps.
