Cardio BP Study
In a study of 50 competitive distance runners, 'Distance Runners as Models of Optimal Health' by Doctor Harold Elrick, a substantial incidence of elevated blood pressure was found. In a statement that supported this finding, Doctor Marvin Moser, Clinical Professor of Medicine at New York Medical College, said that except for a small percentage, "there is no convincing data that systematic exercise even if performed 3 to 4 times a week has resulted in significant continuous lowering of blood pressure." Commenting on the surprisingly high total cholesterol levels and low (so-called) good cholesterol levels in highly conditioned runners, Doctor Elrick said that vigorous physical activity does not guarantee low total cholesterol or high good cholesterol values. Despite claims that exercise increases good cholesterol which purportedly cleans clogged arteries that can cause high blood pressure, a study at the Pittsburgh School of Medicine showed that good cholesterol levels actually decreased.

Exercise & Blood Pressure
Blood pressure rises during exercise because activation of the sympathetic nervous system releases adrenaline which constricts blood vessels in the deep body body as cardiac output increases. (Incidently an overactive sympathetic nervous system has been found to be significant in Obesity, contra-indicating further constriction of blood vessels with exercise due to the risk of a heart attack.) The reason the muscles can work so hard during exercise is because they pull virtually all of the blood out of the body (up to 90%). To open up circulation to deep systemic tissues and make it easier for the heart to pump blood, it's necessary to convert the action of adrenaline from constriction to dilation, lowering blood pressure. Body'Fit™ pH Fitness exercise (short form... pHx™) stimulates the release of adenosine in conjunction with adrenaline making it the first total body exercise warm-up to convert sympathetic constriction of blood vessels to dilation in 5 to 15 minutes. By equilibriating circulation between muscles and deep organs, Body'Fit pH balanced cardio improves exercise health - a prerequisite for heart attack prevention and reducing the risk of of arterio sclerosis. Normalizing high blood pressure at all degrees performance speed and intensity, the Body'Fit pH Fitness routine radically improves heart rate recovery after exercise.

pH and Heart Attack Risk
Although high blood pressure is considered normal as health declines with advancing years, it's actually not seen anywhere else in the animal kingdom. Even species with no natural preditors enjoy good health to the very end. Furthermore, there are many examples of renowned practioners of yoga, Qui Gong, and martial arts who have sustained heart health into old age until the last few days of their life at which point they expired quickly and painlessly. Today, you don't need years of training in traditional disciplines to enjoy optimal exercise health at any age. Fortunately Body'Fit pHx functions to elicit an entirely new response to exercise, magnifying the benefits of any workout including martial arts, yoga, endurance and resistance training. It can also be performed as a stand-alone exercise routine for the cardio vascular health necessary to lower heart attack risk. The Body'Fit pH Fitness exercise routine is now readily available to all women at very little cost, takes about 3 weeks to learn, and can be performed in minutes a day if you have no physical cause to limit your participation. (We recommend a personal trainer certified in the Body'Fit pHx System™ if you require modifications.)
