The "Hidden" Secret to our "High Blood Pressure"!

So, as we spoke yesterday . . . we now know that an "overactive" Cortisol hormone (hypercortisolism) . . . is a well-documented cause of . . ."high blood pressure" (hypertension) . . .
How you ask???
Well . . . "excess" Cortisol . . . causes the body to "retain" sodium . . . constricts blood vessels . . . and "increases" our heart rate . . .
Which "all" . . . ELEVATES blood pressure.
And studies show that . . . for "every" doubling of "Cortisol" levels . . . the risk of developing "high blood pressure" can INCREASE by 21% to 31%.
AND . . . an "increased" risk of . . . 90% for a "cardiovascular events . . . including heart attack and strokes.
So . . . is "this" the real reason we have "high blood pressure"???
TOO much "Cortisol" in our body???
Well . . . I believe the answer to that question is . . . "YES"!!!
Why???
Well . . . the hormone "Cortisol" . . . significantly affect the "pancreas" . . . by suppressing "insulin secretion" . . .
Which causes "Insulin resistance" . . .
And we now know from this week's information . . .
"Insulin resistance" causes "high blood pressure" . . .
So, how does all this work you ask???
Well . . . "Cortisol" . . . DOES NOT PLAY WELL WITH "CAFFEINE"!!!
And that means . . . COFFEE . . . chocolate . . . and even "decaffeinated" coffee . . . because they "lie" to us . . . decaf still contains 20% "caffeine" . . .
Now . . . "caffeine" ELEVATES the level of Cortisol in the body . . .
Which directly "inhibits" the pancreas from releasing its hormone production of "Insulin" . . . . which causes the "increase" of blood glucose levels . . .
And with this . . . "Cortisol" impairs "Insulin receptor signaling" . . .
Which causes . . . "Insulin Resistance" . . .
So, NOT ONLY . . . does "high" levels of Cortisol "disrupt" the pancreas causing "DIABETES" . . .
It also causes . . . "HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE"!!!
Even our own government know this . . .
The U.S. National Library of Medicine, Heart, Lung and Blood Institute STATES . . .
"Adults with normal blood pressure and high levels of the hormone Cortisol, are more likely to develop high blood pressure and experience cardiovascular events, including heart attack and stroke."
And they go on to say . . .
"Past studies have shown a link between Cortisol levels and high blood pressure or cardiovascular events. However, studies of this connection in humans are lacking."
Why???
Because they don't want us to know this information PEOPLE . . .
If we did . . . the "Pharmaceutical industry" would be out of business!!!
It time to WAKE UP . . . and SMELL THE ROSES my friends!!!!
There IS an answer . . . WITHOUT DRUGS!!!!
So, STOP drinking "COFFEE" . . . and/or having that sweet CHOCOLATE treat in the morning!!!!
And if you need more information on the hormone called . . . Cortisol . . .
I'll be holding another "health" seminar in April called . . . "Your SUPERPOWER to health and healing".
Stay safe and healthy this weekend and remember to be "mindful" in your world!!
