High blood pressure and stress are the proverbial chicken and egg. It works like this: if a person eats lots of sugars and grains, insulin receptors get wonky and shut down, meaning blood cells can no longer absorb magnesium, one of the brain’s most important sources of stress relief.

Stressful situations can cause your blood pressure to spike, if only temporarily, and long-term stress can lead to long-term hypertension problems.

If you find yourself stuck in the hamster wheel of stress and hypertension, there’s loads you can do to ease the pressure, literally. It needn’t take long. Our bodies have a remarkable ability to heal themselves. Good health is a lifelong investment, but a little loving care can improve blood pressure almost instantaneously.
