Chapter 14 (13)

Now let's talk about a common disease: high blood pressure.This is the number one disease caused by the liver. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "Qi and blood imbalance" is the root cause of all diseases.In Chinese medicine, qi governs the blood. If qi is insufficient, will the blood circulation be bad?Poor blood circulation, does the blood vessel resistance increase?Increased vascular resistance leads to spasm.As soon as the blood vessels spasm, the blood pressure is easy to rise.Therefore, Chinese medicine believes that this is a "symptom" of high blood pressure, but Chinese medicine does not call this disease high blood pressure.What is Chinese medicine called?It is called "exuberant liver fire".

From an anatomical point of view, let's take a look at how high blood pressure is obtained.There is blood circulating in the middle of the blood vessels, and the blood is constantly rubbing against the walls of the blood vessels, so garbage is deposited.With the accumulation of garbage, the blood vessels become narrower and narrower.As we all know, the width of the vascular cavity is different, and the blood flow rate is different. If the vascular cavity is narrow, does the blood flow rate need to be accelerated to ensure the flow rate per unit time?As the blood flow speeds up, will the impact on blood vessels increase?According to the principle of action force and reaction force, does the resistance of blood vessels increase correspondingly, and is it easy to convulse?Just like water pipes, if the water pressure is not stable, once the water flows too fast, will the water pipes fluctuate?The same is true for blood. If the blood flow is too fast, the blood vessels will fluctuate, and the blood pressure will rise accordingly.

What should I do if I have high blood pressure?Generally take antihypertensive drugs, what role does antihypertensive drugs play?Taking antihypertensive drugs widens the blood vessels. Does it mean that the flow rate will slow down and the pressure will come down?When the blood pressure goes down, the problem will come out at the same time.How many people have you heard died of high blood pressure?no?Yes, no!Died for what?Because of complications, which complications?Myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, renal failure, etc. I ask everyone, the patient originally had high blood pressure, why did he suffer from myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, and kidney failure?Many people say that this is caused by complications of high blood pressure.Then I have to ask you again, he has high blood pressure, he took antihypertensive drugs, how did he get high blood pressure complications?If so, why is he still taking antihypertensive drugs?

There is a serious misunderstanding here, which is believed to be caused by complications of hypertension, but it is not.Let me tell you, this is the side effect caused by his long-term use of antihypertensive drugs.Why?Does everything in the world, any thing, have an end?Do antihypertensive drugs dilate blood vessels?Let me ask you, can the blood vessels of hypertensive patients expand indefinitely for a long time?impossible!To give an example, is our rubber band elastic?If we keep stretching it here, will it stop stretching after two or three hours?The rubber band will either break or lose its elasticity.

Conversely, let's talk about it, we always take antihypertensive drugs to dilate blood vessels, does it mean that our blood vessels gradually lose their elasticity?Nowhere to expand?At this time, did the blood pressure start to rise again?what to do?Do we have to add medicine, and it will gradually fail, and there is no room for expansion, should we add medicine again?Let me ask you people with high blood pressure, did you take the medicine like this?You are always expanding like this, sooner or later there will be no place to expand, your blood pressure is high, what should you do?Still have to add!

I didn’t add it well today, if I add too much, the blood vessels are easy to collapse, cerebral hemorrhage! If it is not added well today, or less, and the elasticity of the blood vessels has not recovered, is the blood blocked here, a cerebral infarction!The same goes for the heart. Look at the people around you, which one who takes antihypertensive drugs escapes these two diseases? How did you get kidney failure?It is said that high blood pressure, high blood pressure is a symptom, a phenomenon, where is its root cause?Why do you have high blood pressure?I'm afraid no one told you.How does western medicine diagnose high blood pressure?It is called "abnormal secretion of adrenaline". There is a gland on the kidney, called the adrenal gland, which secretes adrenaline to adjust the tension of blood vessels.For example, if a person suddenly faints and loses blood pressure, if you see Western medicine for emergency treatment and a shot of epinephrine, the blood pressure will gradually return to normal.If adrenaline is secreted too much, blood vessels are prone to tension and spasm, which is called high blood pressure.If it is secreted less, it is called low blood pressure.Where is the disease?It is on the kidney, so it is called "nephrogenic hypertension", and this is the case in most cases.

Let’s take a look at the antihypertensive drugs we take again. Is there a sentence written on all antihypertensive drugs that people with renal insufficiency should use it with caution and prohibit it.Why do you write this on the medicine?It means that the medicine hurts the kidneys. Where did the disease come from?It's from the kidneys.Think about it, this disease is caused by the kidneys, the medicine you take has destroyed your kidneys, what is the cause of kidney failure?Authoritative departments have a statistical report, do you need dialysis if you have kidney failure?Nine and a half out of ten dialysis patients are caused by "drug-induced poisoning"!Because the kidney is an organ for detoxification, urination is the detoxification, and then the toxins brought by the medicine are added to let him expel. Can this kidney stand it?Over time, kidney problems appeared.

what to do?As we said just now, high blood pressure is caused by the narrowing of your blood vessels, because there are too many dirty things in them. We try to clean up the dirty things in the blood vessels, right?To give an example, the sewer in our house is blocked, what should we do?It's all right, didn't you say expand it?Why do our human blood vessels expand when they are blocked? Why can't anyone get through?Everyone shouts to let nature take its course every day, think about it, who of you does what goes with the flow?They are violating the laws of nature!What are these things that block blood vessels called?Chinese medicine calls it "blood stasis, turbidity", Western medicine calls it "too many free radicals", and nutrition calls it too much product of fat metabolism. In short, we eat too much fat and there is too much garbage in the body .

It is a last resort to wait until you get sick and then treat it.Chinese medicine pays attention to "preventing diseases", which is what we call "preventing problems before they happen". If we pay attention to diet and conditioning when we are healthy, we will not easily get sick.So how do we usually prevent it? Vitamin supplementation is one of the effective ways to prevent high blood pressure.Let’s take a look. I have told you in previous lectures that the World Health Organization has warned us that the first cause of disease is excess fat, and the second is lack of minerals and vitamins. This disease came out because of our Now the standard of living is so good that I eat too much fat.You see, the world is always one thing down one thing, what can prevent fat?What can dissolve fat?These are what we call minerals and vitamins.We all know that vitamins are found in vegetables and fruits.We eat vegetables and fruits every day, so why do we still lack vitamins and get these cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases?Let's look at it, vitamins are divided into "fat-soluble" and "water-soluble".

Because "water-soluble vitamins" are anti-oxidant, the appearance of garbage in the blood vessels indicates that the body's anti-oxidative capacity is poor.So today I will focus on water-soluble vitamins.Water-soluble vitamins have two characteristics.The first is to dissolve in water; the second is to decompose when the temperature exceeds 40°C.Many of us now have an unhealthy lifestyle, which is to soak vegetables and fruits in water for several hours every day.As I just said, the first characteristic of vitamins is to dissolve in water, so the longer you soak, the more vitamins you lose.Second, after soaking the fruits and vegetables for several hours, we peel off the skins. In fact, all the vitamins are in the skins.Let me tell you a common sense of nutrition. The vitamin content of a large peeled apple is equal to the vitamin content of the skin of an apple the size of a five-cent coin. Throw it away!Where do we get vitamin supplements in our body?

We went on to say that someone peeled the vegetable, cut it into slices, cut it into shreds, put it in water, soaked it, and then washed it... Everyone, see if the vitamin dissolves in water, do you run it again? , Did you run it three times?Vegetables and fruits are washed, but what about our vitamins?Most are lost.Next it's time to cook.What is the second characteristic of vitamins?It decomposes when the temperature exceeds 40°C.Is the temperature of our cooking oil over 40°C? Do you think there are still vitamins in this dish?There is not much left.
