Nature’s Blood Pressure CURE

By Dr. Scott Olson, ND Posted April 19, 2020

Dear Reader,

When you think of the dangers of high blood pressure, the usual suspects come to mind: heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.

And with good reason. Those “top killers” take the lives of thousands every year.

And the reality is fact, even the slightest uptick in your blood pressure could put you on the fast track to any number of devastating diseases.

Luckily, there is a way to help keep your blood pressure low – and all you have to do is step outside.

If you’ve been feeling cooped up inside during the pandemic, here’s another excuse to step outside and get some fresh air and sunshine…

A new study in the Journal of the American Heart Association examined blood pressure readings for more than 342,000 patients and followed them from over three years.

The researchers averaged the participants blood pressure and then matched it to reports on outdoor temperature and ultraviolet radiation.

The research team found that exposure to ultraviolet sunlight was associated with lower systolic blood pressure (the higher number of a blood pressure reading).

In plain English: being out in the sunlight helped lower their blood pressure.

Doctors have long known about seasonal variation in blood pressure (blood pressure is always higher in the winter) but they thought it had something to do with temperature or Vitamin D levels.

But this study suggests ultraviolet rays from the sun have a direct connection.

How effective is sun exposure?

Ultraviolet radiation from the sun can drop two or three points off of your blood pressure. While that doesn’t sound like much, that’s enough to get about a 10 percent reduction in serious cardiovascular events.

Sunlight works because, as light strikes your skin, it releases a molecule called nitric oxide. This opens your arteries and that, in turn, lowers your blood pressure.

Now, I know a lot of people are afraid of sunlight. And while you do want to avoid a sunburn, getting some rays is beneficial. To be on the safe side, get out in the sun before 10 am or after 4 pm to limit your risk of a sunburn.

By the way, you can also increase nitric oxide by taking supplements like beet powder. And it is still a great idea to take vitamin D (it will help your blood pressure as well – especially if you don’t have enough vitamin D already).
