Critical COVID-19 Update Inside | Lower BP Naturally
From eNewsletter 6/23/2021
DID YOU KNOW there is copious new data describing how we can best ameliorate high blood pressure naturally, and in turn, lower our cardiovascular disease risk? A new study from European Journal of Epidemiology states that over a span of 23 years, people who regularly ate higher quantities of nitrate-rich vegetables (approximately one serving daily), such as leafy greens and beetroot, had lower blood pressure, thus lower their risk of heart disease between 12 to 26 percent? A study from European Journal of Preventive Cardiology presented the first study to recommend personalized exercise regimens that are dependent upon the type of high blood pressure. An optimal first step to address mild to moderately elevated blood pressure and cholesterol in otherwise healthy adults is a "prescription" to sit less and move more, the American Heart Association (AHA) said in a new scientific statement. Finally, one little discussed aggravator of blood pressure are other prescription medications. According to a study presented at the annual scientific sessions of the American College of Cardiology, nearly one out of five American adults with hypertension is on a prescription drug known to raise blood pressure. The most widely used class of agents with this effect was antidepressants, followed by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), steroids, and synthetic estrogens.

COVID-19 Vaccine Information We updated this document Monday, June 21st.
Virus Prevention And Treatment Vaccines will minimize COVID-19 related mortality and hospitalizations, but SARS-CoV-2 is not going away, as evidenced by its ever-mutating variants. Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 is not the only virus we fight. There are influenza (flu), norovirus (stomach flu), adenovirus (common cold), and four other coronaviruses (common cold), among others.We highly recommend continuing your immune support. For more information, refer to our Prevent and Fight Viruses 2.0 Protocol.
COVID-19 Condition Monograph For those interested in conventional and integrative treatments for COVID-19 with over 250 references, this is our COVID-19 Condition Monograph.
Post-COVID Syndrome The official diagnosis for post-COVID syndrome (PCS) are symptoms that last for 12 weeks or more. If you, a family member, friend, coworker, or neighbor is suffering from PCS, diligently following our Post-COVID Syndrome Action Plan for purchase, or free to paid members here, can bring measurable improvement.
COVID-19 UPDATE Steve and Bonnie: We found another silver lining from the pandemic. It seems that a majority of young Americans (7 in 10 from a recent poll) are making self-care a priority. Let's hope this trend continues!
Zinc
A new study from Medrxiv found a markedly high number of COVID-19 patients admitted to the hospital entering with zinc deficiency. While the researchers could not associate with length of hospital say, they do encourage further research into the role zinc plays in mitigating the effects of COVID-19.
Another new study appearing in Medxriv can explain the importance of zinc, at least when done in a test tube. In the study, scientists found zinc ions inhibit SARS-CoV-2 virus from replicating.
