How To Lower Blood Pressure - The Natural Way

Hypertension or High Blood Pressure should not be left ignored, the consequences are damaging not only to your heart, your blood vessels but other organs of your body which in turn leads to serious illnesses such as heart failure, kidney failure and even stroke.


The good news, is that there are several methods that can lower blood pressure naturally and if implemented today you can start seeing immediate improvements if you are a High Blood Pressure Sufferer.

Let's jump in and look at them in detail:

Alcohol & Cigarettes: If you want to lower your blood pressure then these should be avoided, however if completely eliminating them is too much too soon, try and keep them at a minimum. For example, if you are used to having 2 or 3 glasses of wine to unwind you in the evening or with your dinner - cut this down to 1 glass only. In time, cut this out completely during the week and just have the odd glass at the weekend.

Healthy & Regular Exercise: start an exercise routine of 3 to 5 days a week - either daily walks of between 25 to 30 mins or swimming or even yoga - anything that will relax and de-stress you from everyday problems and worries. Learning to deal with stress is not only helpful to controlling high blood pressure the natural way but the benefits of this to your health are endless. Meditating is one way of combating stress, set aside 5- 10 mins to begin with, find a quiet spot, close your eyes and think of nothing. I mean that, block out all your thoughts and instead start focusing on your breathing. Do this daily and increase time duration to 25 mins per day.

Salt Intake: can't stress how beneficial this is to lowering your blood pressure naturally. The recommended daily intake is just one teaspoon of salt a day or just under 5.8 grams of salt! The problem today is that our processed food contains copious amounts of salt so read the back of each label before purchasing your next pizza or packet of soup!

Potassium: here's a must in controlling your high blood pressure - potassium enriched fruit and veg are crucial. Here is where you will find abundant potassium - sweet or regular potatoes, spinach, soybeans and kidney beans, bananas, peaches and even in fish such as yellowfin tuna and cod.
