Dr Peter Rogers has excellent, fast-paced, information rich short lectures on why blood flow is integral for good health! What is the connection between blood flow and conditions like hypertension, back pain and Alzheimer's?
Heart Disease (Coronary Artery Disease) is clearly a vascular diseases, and heart disease is the #1 cause of death worldwide. Thus impaired blood flow is the #1 cause of death worldwide.
Hypertension is clearly related to blood flow. However, most people don't realize how bad hypertension really is for our body.
Impaired blood flow is the #1 cause of sexual dysfunction. ED (Erectile Dysfunction) is basically clogged penile arteries. How about female sexual dysfunction? Is that related to blood flow as well?
Is impaired blood flow the #1 cause of cognitive decline? This is not agreed upon. However, the medical community is warming up to the idea that at least Alzheimer's is essentially vascular in nature and that the root cause is likely impaired blood flow. But Dr Peter Rogers goes a step ahead and explains that all cognitive decline, including both Alzheimer's and dementia, is essentially impaired blood flow!
Is impaired blood flow the #1 cause of vision loss as we age? This is not agreed upon in the medical community. What is agreed upon is that diabetes leads to foot amputations, blindness (diabetic retinopathy) and nerve pain (diabetic neuropathy). But what does diabetes have to do with blood flow? And what about glaucoma, cataract, age related macular degeneration and hypertensive retinopathy — how much of these are related to our dietary choices and essentially impaired blood flow?
Does impaired blood flow lead to back pain and spinal vertebrae fusing with each other as we age? This is not agreed upon in medical community. But Dr Peter Rogers has fascinating expository presentations on this teheme.
