Re: Coconut Oil and Blood Pressure

This is probably too simplistic but I'm not an expert. From my reading if the

blood pressure elevation is caused by a build up of paque from dammage to the

interior of your blood vessels it could work.

The theory is that the bad fats (poly unsaturated) do the dammage ,by free

radicals, to the arerial walls.Plaque is the bandaid to help heal the damage.So

change out the bad fat to coconut oil, which doesnt dammage the arteries and is

healing . Then the plaque should be reduced and the blood pressure should come

down.

Also , the coconut oil tends to give us a better HDL cholesterol ratio. The

more good HDL which " escorts " the bad cholesterols out the more scrubbing action

on the arteries to reduce the plaque patch .

Hi,

I have read where coconut oil can lower your blood pressure, has

anyone else here ever heard of that?

My blood pressure has been running a bit high lately, and I'm not a

person that goes to the doctor. Would like to get this under control

myself if possible. I do not want to take prescription drugs. I

have changed my eating habits, and have been trying to ride a

stationary bike a bit everyda, and have started taking multi-

vitamins, vitamin B12, calcium, and omega 3 tablets. Plus I drink an

oz. a day of mangosteen juice and pomergranate juice.

Has anyone here ever used coconut oil and had the results of lowering

high blood pressure? If so, would like to know how much to begin

taking, and how fast they saw any results. I live in southern

Illinois, and the coconut oil I found was at wal-mart, in the cooking

section, it says it's all natural...would this mean it's non-

hydrogenated oil? I've ready on the container, and it doesn't say

that, but that's all I could find there. We don't order anything

over the internet because we do not use credit cards. If this isn't

the correct oil, where would you suggest I order the right thing?

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,

Sandy

Coconut Oil and Blood Pressure

Hi,

Hi ,

Well if you won't go to a doctor you could be in trouble by yourself trying to

lower your blood pressure.

The bp drugs are not all that bad but they can be very expensive and my first

doctor just kept piling up the different kinds trying to get it down. He told me

I was close to malignant hypertension. Didn't like him or his formula about just

laddering drugs so i got a nutritionist, and an inexpensive monitor (important)

to keep track myself of what the results were for the efforts i was making to

lower it by foods, supplements, weight loss and exercise.

It took a while, but got another doctor who told me things to do, and talked

me into at least using a cheap diuretic. $25./3 months. A year later and I am

under control now, lost 25 lbs, and feel very good. There are lots of things you

can do to help, but you must measure often to see if you are making progress. I

will mention the one thing that has helped significantly and that is green tea.

I take two cups every morning, no sugar of course. google hypertension and blood

pressure: here is one result:

I am also using VCO, and not sure if it really helps yet as I am doing so many

things different now.

Good luck, and please don't ignore it just cause you don't have symptoms that

alarm you.
