Lower Your Blood Pressure Naturally with Supershots
If you’re like most Americans past a certain age, you struggle to maintain your weight and blood pressure. Blood pressure medication can be effective, but has many side effects. As we know more about high blood pressure, we understand the link to levels of Potassium in the body.
As Americans enter middle-age, they discover an unwelcome new set of health concerns. It becomes more difficult to control weight, the first twinges of arthritis begin, and high blood pressure can become a concern. For high blood pressure, the most common remedy is to begin a monthly regimen of blood pressure medication. This blood pressure medication, however, can cause a host of unpleasant side effects including dizziness, and sexual dysfunction in men.
As we learn more about blood pressure, we have begun to understand the link to high levels of salt in the modern diet. Processed foods, including most canned and frozen foods, contain high levels of salt. Today, most Americans eat diets containing salt in excess of the recommended amounts. Even when doctors recommend a reduction of salt in the diet, it’s difficult to create a shopping list that excludes canned and frozen foods.
Recent discoveries have also uncovered a link between the ratio of Potassium and Salt in the diet. Potassium, a natural mineral found in fruits such as bananas is not often found in processed foods. This is an important deficiency, however, since higher levels of potassium help to control the negative effects of higher salt levels in diet. In effect, the higher the levels of Potassium in the diet, the more salt an individual can consume without some of the negative effects occurring.
That’s the idea behind Supershots, a set of four small drinks bundled together in a pack found in your grocer’s dairy case. These flavored milk-based drinks (strawberry is my favorite) contain a level of Potassium that helps to reduce blood pressure.

The makers of Supershots say that their customers report as much as a 10 percent reduction in blood pressure levels among users who drink Supershots everyday. Supershots is a great alternative to daily medication for people with slightly elevated blood pressure levels.
As with anything that effects your health, please consult with your own doctor before changing or altering any medication that your doctor has prescribed. It might be helpful to take a container of Supershots to your doctor to discuss the link between high blood pressure and Potassium.
The drinks come in several flavors and are available at Wal-Mart and other major retailers.
