that allows a temporary dilation of those arterial walls . You will get blood to the muscles that are innervated .
It strengthens the heart , but there is a negative by-product , which is the free-radical chemical process . So with that stress-hormone you have a negative chemical response that comes with it – and the heart is still having to PUSH blood into a tight and restricted system .
A much more effective and efficient way to lower blood pressure without wearing out your heart pump . . . is to increase the area into which the blood is allowed to flow .
