3 Simple Steps to Lower Blood Pressure

By Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Mike Roizen, MDs

A brisk walk, pumping iron, even a roll in the hay can make your systolic blood pressure rise — temporarily.

But if, like "Southland's" Regina King (svelte and athletic) or ex-quarterback Joe Montana (who'd think it?), you have chronic high blood pressure, you want to know it NOW.

New stats from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveal that 75 million Americans have HBP; only about half of them (54 percent) have their condition under control; and about 1 in 5 folks with HBP don't even know they have it.

Doctor: Doctor's Warning: Performance Concerns Affect How Many Men By Age 40?

So for everyone, whether you know if your BP is up or not, here's what to do:

Step No. 1: Get your BP tested; 85 percent of people with undiagnosed HBP have health insurance. So, no excuses — see your doc. No insurance? Most pharmacy chains do a blood pressure check for free. Just ask.

Your numbers? 120/80 is good; 115/76 is optimal (it slashes your risk for heart attacks and strokes in half). Dr. Mike's numbers are 115/75; Dr. Oz stays around 110/75.

Step No. 2: If your numbers are up, try the DASH diet — whole grains, vegetables, and fruit; 30 minutes of exercise daily (walking is our favorite); and if you have salt-sensitive HBP, limit salt intake to 1,500 milligrams a day. You'll slash your numbers by 8 to 14 points.

Step No. 3: Take everything down a notch. Stress leads to overeating, bad food choices, and lousy sleep habits — all risk factors for HBP. So make time for yourself, and try meditation to chill. No pressure, just a suggestion!

Man Oh Man: A Holistic M.D.’s Secret Way
to Support Optimal Male Performance

By S.A. Nickerson
Reporting for Newsmax Health

West Bloomfield, MI — “Men just HATE to talk about those bedroom issues that plague them from time to time. So when a guy over 40 comes into my office for an exam — no matter his complaint — I always ask about them.”

This was how my conversation started recently when I sat down with David Brownstein, M.D., a noted holistic medical physician, lecturer, and author from Michigan.

He’s a soft-spoken and humble guy, but he’s also an authority on anything to do with natural health and well-being. Of course, that’s why he’s the expert behind the well-respected newsletter Dr. Brownstein’s Natural Way to Health.

Anyway, I had to ask …

Just how widespread are these occasional male sexual issues — and why are men so hesitant to talk about them?

Start Supporting Sexual Health
as Early as Possible

First off, Dr. Brownstein told me, you shouldn’t wait until old age to start supporting your sexual health.

Because, according to the Massachusetts Male Aging Study, concerns about occasional sexual performance already affect about 40% of men by age 40. (Just for a point of reference, this is five full years before the generally accepted beginning of middle age.)

As you might suspect, by the age of 70, nearly 70% of men report occasional issues with their sexual performance.

And men simply do not want to discuss these concerns with anyone, even their own doctor.

Well, Dr. Brownstein has seen thousands of men over his decades of clinical practice. Men with these troubles usually feel embarrassed, he tells me. They see the problem as a failure somehow — a threat to their very essence of manhood and masculinity.

I wrote down a few other words in my notebook: wounded pride, loss of self-confidence, guilt, shame. Nothing any man wants to feel.

Plus, you can just imagine the impact these male sexual concerns have on relationships and marriages …

The message Dr. Brownstein wants men to take to heart is simple: While you cannot stop the aging process, there are steps you can take to support your overall sexual health.

Two Magic Words for Optimal
Male Sexual Function

Dr. Brownstein says it all boils down to these two simple words: blood flow.

Of course, blood supply is important to the entire body. But when it comes to supporting male sexual function, it seems obvious …

Blood must get to the right places.

To achieve adequate blood flow, the smooth muscle in artery walls throughout the body needs the capability to relax, allowing for dilation or widening of the vessels.

Here’s where it gets a little complicated, so stick with me …


This process of relaxation requires a unique chemical compound known as nitric oxide (abbreviated as NO).

Nitric oxide or NO helps relax and expand your blood vessels. This allows more blood, oxygen, and nutrients to flow to every tiny capillary in your body.

Because of this effect, nitric oxide promotes optimal blood flow, healthy blood pressure, and good cardiovascular health.

Not only that, but NO has a bonus benefit for men. Scientists have found that NO plays a role in maintaining normal erectile function due to its ability to support adequate blood flow.

Because of its importance, NO was dubbed a “miracle molecule” for its amazing effects on circulation.

“The discovery of nitric oxide and its function is one of the most important in the history of cardiovascular medicine.”

— President of the American Heart Association

In fact, in 1998, three scientists received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their discoveries related to the astonishing benefits of nitric oxide.
So where does NO come from?

As Dr. Brownstein explains it, your body produces NO naturally in the endothelium, or inner layer of your arteries.

Unfortunately …

You Produce Less Nitric Oxide
as You Grow Older

Maintaining healthful stores of NO is a key factor in supporting both your cardiovascular health and your sexual function. Yet the body produces less nitric oxide as you grow older.

And since nitric oxide is just a gas, you can’t take it as a supplement. Your body needs a “precursor” — an amino acid called L-arginine — to help kick-start the production of NO.

And your body also produces less and less L-arginine with age.

In fact, your L-arginine levels start to drop off as early as age 30. By the time you hit 50, chances are you’re not getting enough L-arginine to produce the NO necessary to support adequate blood flow.

So you’d think you could just consume more L-arginine to produce more NO, and everything would run smoothly.

However, it’s not that simple, according to Dr. Brownstein.

The Little-Known Problem
With L-Arginine

Ever since the discovery of nitric oxide and L-arginine, companies have rushed to market L-arginine supplements.

But if you’ve ever tried one, chances are you’ve been disappointed with the results. Why? Because your body absorbs and metabolizes L-arginine very quickly. That means you’d have to take it all day long just to get results.

Until now, that is …

Scientists have created a sustained-release form of L-arginine, giving you a constant flow of L-arginine all day long.

In fact, when researchers tested this new form of L-arginine … it lived up to its promise. They noticed significant support for circulatory health in nearly seven out of 10 patients. And what’s more, they noticed the difference in as little as seven days.

So if you want to help support healthy blood flow and maintain normal blood pressure, sustained-release L-arginine should be at the top of your list.

And that’s why Dr. Brownstein teamed up with experts at Medix Select to create a new product — an advanced formula for optimal male sexual function with 3 grams of sustained-release L-arginine per daily dose. It’s called ADVENTOREX®.

He didn’t stop there, though …

Because there are other nutrients that support healthy circulation and male sexual function, he also added them to this formula. You’ll hear more about them in a moment.

Find Support for Those Occasional Performance Concerns

Time-released L-arginine is a great start for male sexual function and cardiovascular support.

However, Dr. Brownstein believes in developing formulas that provide comprehensive support for overall health and well-being.

That’s why he included five more ingredients in ADVENTOREX.

   
“After exhaustive research, I developed ADVENTOREX, a premium dietary supplement containing six ingredients with support for circulation and male sexual function. I believe this high-quality product offers a healthy and natural solution to intimacy issues.”

— David Brownstein, M.D.

Alpha Lipoic Acid Fights Back
Against Free Radicals

Another way to increase nitric oxide in the body is to prevent its breakdown by free radicals that damage cells, organs, and tissues.

Your body is under constant assault from pollution, toxins, harmful chemicals in food, and even waste products from normal metabolism. All these factors can lead to a buildup of these nasty free radicals.

That’s why you need to neutralize free radicals as fast as possible. One of the best ways is with an antioxidant called alpha lipoic acid or ALA.

ALA also helps your body recycle more of your master antioxidant, glutathione. This is important, because glutathione plays a role in your body’s ability to use nitric oxide for optimal blood flow.

Studies have found that alpha lipoic acid supports healthy blood pressure levels, inflammation balance, and heart health.

And because of its benefits in vascular function, preliminary studies suggest that ALA may play a role in managing male sexual concerns.

Vitamin D for Cardiovascular Support


Scientists now realize that vitamin D — the sunshine vitamin — plays a much greater role in maintaining good health than previously thought. When it comes to heart health, artery health, and blood pressure, vitamin D is a key player.

Vitamin D is produced through sun exposure as well as obtained from food. You may not get enough if you spend a lot of time indoors, use sunscreen, cover up with clothing outside, or live in the northern U.S.

Additionally, the skin of older individuals just doesn’t produce as much vitamin D. Being overweight or obese is also a risk factor for vitamin D deficiency.

Studies also show that it’s difficult to get sufficient vitamin D from food alone, and many people do not get enough in their diet. Older individuals are more at risk for low vitamin D levels.

Folic Acid (Folate) Supports Healthful
Nitric Oxide Levels


The cardiovascular benefits of the B vitamin known as folate have been recognized for decades. Folic acid, a form of folate, has been shown to promote healthy blood pressure and endothelial function. Folate also helps make new cells and produce energy.

Emerging research has revealed a relationship between folic acid levels and male sexual concerns, likely from the effect of folic acid on nitric oxide metabolism.

As with all B vitamins, folate is water-soluble, meaning your body cannot store it and must obtain it regularly by diet or supplementation.

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), your blood levels may become low after only a few weeks of eating a diet low in folate. Certain medications may also lower levels of folic acid in the body.

Vitamin B12 Fosters Healthy Blood Vessels


Vitamin B12 helps in the formation of red blood cells and fosters healthy endothelium.

Studies suggest that both folic acid and vitamin B12 help maintain normal levels of the amino acid homocysteine, a process important to good circulatory health. Increased levels of homocysteine are associated with cardiovascular concerns.

Because of its effects on nitric oxide, some researchers theorize that elevated homocysteine levels could be a risk factor for male sexual issues.

The NIH reports that many older adults may not get enough vitamin B12. That’s because they do not have enough hydrochloric acid in their stomach to absorb the vitamin B12 naturally present in food.

The NIH also states that people over 50 should get most of their vitamin B12 from fortified foods or dietary supplements because, in most cases, their bodies can better absorb vitamin B12 from these sources.

Vitamin C Supports Normal Blood Flow &
Nitric Oxide Activity


As a free radical-scavenging antioxidant, vitamin C provides support for healthy blood pressure levels, immune function, and cholesterol balance.

Vitamin C promotes arterial health and normal blood flow. Research also suggests vitamin C helps bolster nitric oxide activity. And you’ve already seen how this is important to male sexual function.

When you claim your trial bottle of ADVENTOREX, Medix Select will also send you a bonus gift.
