STRESS
If Stress, either internal or external, causes an increase in heartbeat, the following sequence occurs. The heart increases its beats per minute, pushing more blood through the ventricle into the arteries at a faster rate per minute, which increases the pressure on the walls of the arteries This higher blood pressure is detected by the pressure-sensitive nerve cells in the arteries and they send messages, in the form of nerve impulses, to the brain. The brain responds to the message by telling the heart to slow down, which should decrease the blood pressure and diffuse the situation. The nervous system continually monitors high blood pressure in this manner, in an effort to maintain a normal flow of blood. This is called a feedback system.

FEEDBACK SYSTEM
In regulating high blood pressure, the input (stimulus) is the information reported by the pressure-sensitive nerve cells (an increase in blood pressure), and the output (response) is the interaction between the brain and the heart, as the heart decreases its beats per minute and returns the blood pressure to normal.

The monitoring of high blood pressure by the pressure-sensitive nerve cells is continual, occurring even after the return to homeostasis begins and blood pressure normalizes. The cells continue to send the monitoring impulses to the brain, and if the pressure is still too high, the brain continues to send impulses to the heart to slow down its heartbeat.

Homeostasis (homeo=same, stasis=standing still) is defined as balance and harmony within the body.

NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT
In the complex operation of maintaining a normal blood pressure, the body needs a constant source of nutrients.

CALCIUM is important for its influence in blood coagulation, neuromuscular excitability, and the transmission of nerve impulses.

NutriVentions Targeted Dietary Supplement For high blood pressure contains nutrients essential for maintaining the homeostasis of blood pressure, complemented with the herbs garlic and cayenne, both known for their healthful attributes.
