Alistrol Ingredients
Holly Leaf (Ilex aquifolium). For centuries now, holly leaf has been used as a tea in the mountains of southern China. The people there — leisurely sipping this tea — live serene, unhurried lives. Generally speaking, these folks don’t have high blood pressure. The dramatic therapeutic effect that this wonderful holly leaf can have on high blood pressure has only recently come to the attention of modern medical science. One pharmacological study found that the herb could enhance overall blood circulation by expanding blood vessels, while also helping to diminish cholesterol. What’s more, holly leaf is a mood elevator — many people who take Alistrol notice a feeling of calm wash over them.
Daikon Seed Extract (Raphanus sativus). 'Daikon' (meaning, in Japanese, 'large root') is a large, mild radish much esteemed in Asian cuisine, often served grated with sushi and sashimi. And, in traditional Chinese herbal medicine, radish seed is recognized as a wonderful digestive aid. But modern medicine has also found that compounds in daikon seed in particular can help to normalize blood pressure and cholesterol, while improving overall cardiovascular health. Its main effect, according to Chinese tradition, is to enhance a person’s vital energy circulation.
Chinese Hawthorn Fruit (Crataegus pinnatifida). Pharmacological studies indicate that Chinese hawthorn fruit especially the premium hawthorn found in only Alistrol can improve heart function, repair heart-muscle damage, enhance blood flow by dilating heart vessels, reduce arrhythmia, and lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. You’ve probably heard of it before — the American version is found in many blood-pressure formulas at health-food stores. In the case of Alistrol, Chinese hawthorn fruit has a profound synergistic effect on the other two ingredients.
So, in short, the time-tested ingredients in Alistrol can…
•Help you to maintain the healthy, elastic arteries that you want and need as you get older.
•Support your peripheral vascular circulation — the vital blood vessels outside your heart and brain.
•Aid healthy blood flow to your heart itself.
•Help to support normal blood pressure in your pulmonary artery, through which your blood gets pumped to your lungs.
•Help support normal blood pressure over the long term.
•And, all this without any known undesirable side effects.
You can, in fact, take Alistrol along with your current drug medication. There is no known adverse interaction. Actually, people have reported a positive interaction between Alistrol and their other medications.

My Story: Battling Hypertension with Alistrol
My whole life I have always been very active- star athlete in high school, played on a community soccer team, and a avid winter sport enthusiast from snowshoeing to cross country and downhill skiing so I was so surprised when I went to the Doctor for my routine yearly check up to discover I had high blood pressure! And it was high!
My doctor put me on chemical based medication right away, to steady and control my high BP.
Within days I was suffering from ugly side effects including feeling dizzy and light headed, I had a metal taste in my mouth and I was suffering from impotence!
I got on the blog forums fast and started looking for an alternative solution. I came to know Alistrol Heath and after reading the testimonials of so many happy customers and their money back guarantee I decide to try it.
By week three my blood pressure was down from 170/105 to 133/75, amazing! An all natural product that has NO side effects, it was like a dream come true. By week six I was completely off my prescription medications. Thank you Alistrol, I am a customer for life.

Young Men Rish For High Blood Pressure
September 6, 2008
CHICAGO (AP) — Younger men should be just as concerned about high blood pressure as middle-aged and older men because it puts them at significant risk of dying from cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes later in life, a study found.
The findings suggest that prevention should begin in childhood, said Dr. Martha Daviglus, one of the study's authors and a professor at the Northwestern University Medical School.
The study, in Monday's issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, is significant because most previous research focused on middle-aged and older men and most screening and treatment guidelines have been based on those findings, Daviglus said.
The study, based on data collected on 10,874 Chicago men ages 18-39 who were studied from 1967 to '73 and then followed for an average of 25 years, is the most comprehensive yet on the long-term effects of high blood pressure in young men, said Daviglus, of the university's Department of Preventive Medicine.
Almost 62% of those studied had high-normal blood pressure or stage 1 hypertension. High-normal is a reading of 130-139 (systolic pressure) over 85-89 (diastolic pressure) and stage 1 hypertension is 140-159 over 90-99, Daviglus said. Optimal blood pressure is below 120 over 80 and normal is 120-129 over 80-85, she said.
After 25 years, 197 of the men had died of coronary heart disease, 257 of cardiovascular disease and 759 of all causes — some of which might also be attributed to high blood pressure because other diseases, such as renal and kidney diseases, are affected by high blood pressure, Daviglus said.
Life expectancy was shortened by 2.2 years for men with high-normal blood pressure and by 4.1 years for those with stage 1 hypertension.
Men with high-normal blood pressure had a 34% higher risk of dying from coronary heart disease, and those with stage 1 hypertension had a 50% higher risk of dying of coronary heart disease, Daviglus said.
"When you're young, you never believe you're going to have heart disease," she said. "But if we educate young people and show them the data — that yes, this is really going to affect you — they may change their lifestyle."
She said many doctors do not prescribe medication to treat high blood pressure in young men because of concerns about potential side effects of long-term drug use. But she said the study may indicate that some men need to begin medication earlier. Also, young men should be screened for blood pressure and doctors should stress lifestyle changes early, she said.
The finding that many young men had elevated blood pressure shows that prevention should begin in childhood by encouraging diets with more fruits and vegetables and less salt, and more exercise, she said.
Dr. David A. Meyerson, a Johns Hopkins cardiologist and spokesman for the American Heart Association who was not involved in the research, said the study provided important proof about the need for early prevention.
"The study affirms our strongly held belief that a population-wide effort for health promotion and disease prevention by lifestyle modification should begin early in life and be continued lifelong," said Meyerson. "Lifestyle modification for most is painless and, if started early, can dramatically reduce disease in the future."

Obseity & High Blood Pressure!!!
August 15, 2008
Obesity, especially central obesity, is an important risk factor for high blood pressure. The prevalence of hypertension increases with the degree of obesity.
Obesity Doubles Risk of High Blood Pressure
Being obese more than doubles the risk of developing raised blood pressure (hypertension). Obesity research indicates that about 70 percent of obese men and women suffer from hypertension.
• The prevalence of hypertension in adults who are not overweight (body mass index <25) is 14.9 percent for men and 15.2 percent for women. In contrast, the prevalence of raised blood pressure levels in adults who are obese (body mass index > 30) is 41.9 percent for men and 37.8 percent for women. The prevalence of hypertension increases with the degree of obesity.
• If you are 20 percent overweight (obese), you are eight times more likely to suffer from high blood pressure than someone of normal weight.
Weight Loss Reduces Blood Pressure
Fortunately, even if your blood pressure is high, a modest weight loss can bring it under control. Blood pressure can drop with every pound lost. In many cases people on high blood pressure medication have been able to reduce the dose or stop taking it altogether after losing 5-10 percent of their body weight. For a person weighing 170 pounds this represents a weight loss of 8-17 pounds.
For people who are serious about losing weight and controlling their high blood pressure, visit www.alistrol.com and learn more about how to live a healthy life and treat high blood pressure naturally and safely.

High Blood Pressure 101
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE 101
Symptoms
Causes
High blood pressure means that the force with which the blood presses onto the artery walls is higher than it should be. By far the most common reason for high blood pressure is arteriosclerosis. Narrowed arteries plugged with fatty deposits are usually linked to poor eating habits, high stress and little physical activity.
Typically, a diet rich in saturated fats, meat and refined products, and lacking in fresh vegetables, fruits and fiber from whole grains, is to blame. The cholesterol-free commercial vegetable oils, shortening and margarine are no better, as these contain trans-fatty acids.
Vegetarians have a lower incidence of hypertension. *Obesity increases the risks. Salt, coffee, alcohol and cigarettes are not direct causes, but certainly contribute substantially to increasing blood pressure. If high blood pressure exists, these substances should be reduced, and preferably eliminated.
Stress, anger and anxiety also play their part in causing high blood pressure. These stresses must be reduced and effective coping mechanisms put in place. Exercise is an excellent remedy.
With old age, the artery walls become less elastic, increasing the risk of hypertension. Besides arteriosclerosis, kidney disease is a serious cause of high blood pressure. The presence of toxic metals, especially cadmium, lead and mercury also affect blood pressure.
Nutrition
High blood pressure is one of the diseases that has resulted from the typical diet of affluent Western societies. The main reason for high blood pressure is the consumption of too much saturated fat from animal sources and artificially-hardened vegetable fats like shortening and margarine, as well as refined vegetable oils. They contain heat-damaged fat molecules, known as trans-fatty acids. Furthermore, sweet foods, overly salted foods and insufficient fiber cause high blood pressure. Incorporating Alistrol to your daily health regime will provide you the best safe and natural formula to help you live longer, healthier and with cleaner artieries and controlled blood pressure.
