If so then you need to be aware of a new development. There is now evidence that shows these types of drugs to lower blood pressure increase some health risks, including strokes and heart attacks.

As a matter of fact, health authorities in Britain have told millions of patients to STOP taking beta-blockers, which are widely used in Australia.

In a report released on June 28th, The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence said beta-blockers would no longer be prescribed for high blood pressure after studies found newer drugs were safer and more effective.

Here’s my question folks, why will “newer” types of drugs be pushed when there are completely safe, natural and healthy alternatives that exist right now like drinking more pure water and taking a high quality omega 3 fatty acid supplement to lower blood pressure? That’s something to think about!
