Hypertension
Referred to as the ‘silent killer,’ hypertension has no symptoms yet is a significant risk for stroke and heart disease. In the United States, these are among the leading causes of death per capita. The truth is one in three US adults has high blood pressure.
There are two numbers involved in measuring blood pressure; systolic and diastolic. Systolic is the top number and represents the pressure in your blood vessels when your heartbeats. Diastolic is the bottom number and represents the blood vessels pressure between beats when your heart is resting. Overall the amount of resistance there is to the blood your body is pumping through your arteries is the measure of your blood pressure. The narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure
Normal blood pressure is anything lower than 120/80. If your blood pressure is 130/80 or more, it is considered high. Elevated blood pressure is when your numbers are above normal but under the 130/80 range. Elevated blood pressure can easily be lowered with lifestyle changes that do not require medications and will substantially improve your health.
Healthy Habits to Lower Hypertension Naturally
The keys to lowering high blood pressure are pretty simple and include things like:
- Increasing physical activity. Exercise more and do it regularly as well as working up to at least half an hour per day of moderate activity daily.
- Lose that excess body weight: As little as 5 to 10 pounds in weight loss can reduce your blood pressure as well as lower your risk for other medical problems.
- Reduce sugar and refined carbohydrates: It is common knowledge that restricting sugar and refined carbohydrates will help you lose weight and lower your blood pressure.
- Be sure to include more potassium and less sodium, as well as eating less processed food overall.
- Stop smoking, Reduce excess stress, cut way back on caffeine and alcohol,
- Both meditation and yoga have proven to lower blood pressure by reducing stress
- Eat some dark chocolate, as well as garlic (maybe not together though, YUCK)
- Make getting a good, restful nights sleep a top priority
- If you don’t like garlic, try taking garlic extract supplements
- Include lots of healthy high-protein foods in your diet
- Take BP-lowering supplements
Digging Into the Details About Managing Hypertension Naturally
I’ve included articles, research, best practices, and more to help you manage high blood pressure naturally.
THE HUGE BENEFIT OF SUPPLEMENTS FOR Hypertension
Because our bodies produce a matrix of hormones, neurotransmitters, as well as numerous body processes throughout that day, managing hypertension is best achieved when all of these factors remain in good balance with one another. Certain food supplements in addition to your diet can help encourage the body to balance these factors which can indirectly lead to a better blood pressure. With changes in our dietary intake in the last few centuries, many necessary nutrients are easily left out of our food intake which is where supplements can help ‘take up the slack’.
Despite the advancements in dietary supplements in the last few years, unfortunately, there are still many less than reputable companies bottling up supplements that are less than effective and some that can even be counterproductive. The most important factors are that your supplements are pure, with no binders or fillers, and are produced in a fashion that allows the body to easily assimilate them for the best effect.
