Back in the 1950s, in the birthplace of the Nobel Prize for medicine, a Swedish doctor named Dr. Erik Upmark made a stunning discovery. He found that flower pollen could help people with glandular problems. Then he had an idea…
Since pollen is the male reproductive spore of the flower, Dr. Upmark figured it might have a beneficial effect on men’s reproductive gland, the prostate. And he was right.
It Does What Saw Palmetto Can’t
Flower pollen addresses a cause of urinary problems that most other remedies don’t: constricted muscles in your urinary tract.
Scientists have found that flower pollen helps relax the smooth muscle tone of your urethra, so you have stronger urine flow. It also relaxes the sphincter muscles of your urethra, so you have better urinary control. And it strengthens your bladder muscles, so you have more power to push urine out and fully empty your bladder.
Hypertension, commonly known as High Blood Pressure, Blood Pressure or Pressure at its simplest, is a chronic, non – communicable illness very prevalent in our world today.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 1.13 billion people worldwide, accounting for a considerate 22% of the world’s population, are affected by Hypertension. Even more alarming is that a disease that was up to until recently considered to be one of our middle aged population, is now a disease manifesting as early as mid 20’s to early 30’s. Even further, Hypertension can be prevented and if not treated adequately can lead to life – threatening complications. In light of the above, coupled with the fact that having this condition puts one at risk of developing other diseases, not excluding the dreaded Corona virus, it is imperative that some amount of emphasis be placed on this disease.
The blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood that the heart pumps and the resistance to this blood flowing through the arteries. As a result, high blood pressure arises when the heart has to pump (more) blood through narrower arteries. This process may be unassociated with any causative factor leading to Primary Hypertension, the form that is very common in the middle aged and slow in its manifestation. The process may also be caused by an underlying condition and is then referred to as Secondary Hypertension. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Hypertension as any blood pressure measured on two separate days giving values above or equal to 140/90mmHg.
