Natural Options for High blood pressure treatment
Eat more fruits and vegetables --
preferably fresh and organic. Eat more garlic since garlic could lower blood
pressure.
Avoid a high fructose intake which would include
drinking more than a few ounces of fruit juice at any one time. A diet high in
the sugar fructose raises blood pressure. Eating more whole grains is helpful
in lowering high blood pressure. Reduce or avoid white bread and processed
grains. The fiber and other nutrients in whole grains also help lower
cholesterol, blood sugar and insulin levels, as well as improve blood vessel
functioning and reduce inflammation in the circulatory system.
Reduce salt intake, People with hypertension that
isn't controlled by multiple medications are likely eating too much salt. People
with so-called resistant hypertension have sharp reductions in their blood
pressure when they dramatically reduce their salt intake.
If you have overeat and have difficulty controlling
your appetite, consider Diet Rx natural diet pill.
Learn how to Sleep better and deeper. Lack of adequate
sleep can cause or contribute to high blood pressure. Reduce alcohol intake. Regular
drinking is known to raise blood pressure in some people. Unlike younger men,
men in their 50s who drink even moderate amounts of alcohol generally have
higher blood pressure than non-drinkers. Among men in their 20s, only heavy
drinkers show elevated blood pressure.
Reduce or stop smoking. Smoking constricts blood
vessels.
Reduce fat intake, such as meats, lard, bacon,
hydrogenated oils -- fats found in fish are good.
Reduce caffeine-intake -- skip that second cup of
coffee, substitute caffeine-free herbal drinks, limit herbal teas with caffeine
to one or two cups.
Drink more water.
Drink soy milk and reduce intake of regular milk (see
study bottom of page).
Enjoying small amounts of polyphenol-rich dark
chocolate daily appears to lower blood pressure.
