Too-high BP numbers take a swan dive… with help from this ‘pond scum’ secret
Friend, right about now I think we could ALL use a vacation.
And not one of those EXHAUSTING trips people take to climb a mountain… or run all over some European city hitting every museum and castle within striking distance.
I’m talking about taking a REAL break…
To rest… relax… and RECOVER.
Everybody needs a “reset” every now and then…
Especially if your blood pressure is through the roof.
But while you may be DREAMING of an island getaway, far out to sea…
There’s an INLAND trick to “taking a breather” that can help your body relax…
Right down to your blood vessels!
Here’s a natural secret to making sure hypertension is the LEAST of your worries.
A ‘freshwater fix’ for hypertension
It’s one of the ultimate “superfoods“… and it comes from a surprising and somewhat unappetizing source.
Pond scum!
It’s chlorella — a special type of freshwater algae that grows in bodies of water throughout Japan and Taiwan.
Thanks to its impressive profile of nutrients… including 50-60% protein… it’s one of the HEALTHIEST things you can put into your body.
The only problem?
Chlorella has a hard cell wall that prevents your body from digesting the “raw” plant on its own…
So, you need to get a version of it that’s specially formulated…
Particularly for its blood pressure benefits.
According to multiple clinical trials, supplementing with chlorella significantly reduces both systolic and diastolic blood pressure – or your “top” and “bottom” numbers.
In one breakthrough study, people with high BP saw LOWER readings after consuming chlorella… and in just 12 weeks!
The key may be in chlorella’s content of 4 heart-boosting nutrients:
- arginine
- potassium
- folic acid, and
- omega-3s.
Studies have found that ALL of these help protect your arteries from hardening… which is a CRUCIAL factor that can lead to hypertension.
You see, when your arteries STIFFEN… they can’t EXPAND to allow blood to flow from your heart to the rest of your body.
The less flexible and narrower your arteries are… the more pressure it takes to push that blood through them.
Fortunately, one study out of Japan found that taking chlorella supplements led to less stiffness in the arteries… even for folks that didn’t have hypertension.
Chlorella is available in easy-to-digest capsules, tablets, powders, and extracts from several quality makers at your local health food store or online.
They’re all comprised of the “chlorella growth factor” — a water-soluble, concentrated dose of chlorella that contains all of the amino acids, proteins, and vitamins that help regulate your blood pressure.
One great way to consume this “superfood” is add chlorella powder to your juices… smoothies… or protein shakes.
To giving your arteries a little R & R,

P.S. Don’t mix up chlorella with another type of “pond scum” – the blue-green algae known as spirulina. Check out the eAlert archives for what this “superfood” can do for allergies… and even diabetes!
