Eight Ways To Fight High Blood pressure

Greetings everyone.

Drugs to lower high blood pressure are among the most frequent reason the doctor will get out his/her prescription pad. Although these drugs are usually effective, their  value is greatly diminished by the side effects they produce such as fatigue and depression. They can also impair your ability to exercise or enjoy sex! Therefore, if you’ve been newly diagnosed with high blood pressure, you’ll probably want to ask your doctor or health care professional if you can avoid taking these drugs by making some changes to your lifestyle.

Fortunately, because so many people suffer from high blood pressure, a great deal of research has been done on ways to fight the disorder. Stress management techniques that have been proven to help include, meditation, biofeedback and regualr aerobic exercise, Losing weight and decreasing alcohol consumption also has a positive impact. Some people, especially those with type 2 diabtets find that limiting carbohydrates can dramatically lower their blood pressure. I have also very successfully treated people with the NES system and corrected this problem of hyper tension or high blood pressure.

Here are eight tips for lowering blood pressure and reducing or preventing a dependance on blood pressure drugs:

1. Eat fewer calories. Lowering your bodyweight if it is too high is one key way to lower blood pressure.
2. Avoid refined carbohydrates such as white flour and sugar., white potatoes, and sugar sweetened soft drinks and aspartame. All of these supply empty calories meaning they contain no nutrition and will be stored as bodyfat.
3. Don’t drink more than 250ml of Beer or 120ml of wine or 30ml of spirits per day. Alcohol is a known blood pressure booster.
4. Eat high fibre foods. Whole grain foods, fruits, vegetables etc. These foods contain nutrients that lower blood pressure. They will also make you feel more full and thus help with weight loss.
5. Eat deep sea fish that are rich in omega 3 fatty acids such as salmon, mackeral and tuna. These fatty acids tend to relax arteru walls reducing blood pressure. They also make blood thinner and less likely to clot.
6. Emphasie foods high in magenesium, pottasium and calcium. On the list: nuts, seeds, green leafy vegies, legumes, whole grains, tofu, bananas, oranges, apples, avocados and melons.
7. Stop smoking…duh!!!
8. Engage in regular aerobic exercise for 30 to 40 mins 3-4 times a week. Such exercise has been shown to lower blood pressure and prevent heart attackes.

There you have it. Some simple to implement measure that will reap you long term benefits and help keep that blood pressure down. I should point out that the NES system is incredibly good at remedying this condition also and this is well worth your time to investigate, just contact me here.
