High Blood Pressure is serious, and if you don't have the discipline to follow a strict diet with exercise, then you have to work with your doctor. Even so, some methods don't work for everyone. Try: 1. Walk 45 minutes in the morning and evening... jogging may be a little better. 2. Reduce salt, increase water, don't drink anything with sugar or artificial sweeteners. a little Fruit sweetners are OK 3. Look up the DASH diet and the Pritikin Diet...people have had success with both... nhlbi.nih.gov/ health/ public/ heart/ hbp/ dash/ new_dash.pdf dashdiet.org/ en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ Pritikin_diet webmd.com/ content/ pages/ 7/ 3220_282.htm

Eat less salt. That is do not add salt to your food and eat foods with little or no salt at all. There is a juice calle Passion Fruit Juice. This is a natural to reduce blood pressure, 1 to 3 glasses a day. Garlic is another way, but keeping your breath free of garlic is not easy. But, there are pills with garlic that are tasteless. Avoid hard exercises. My doctor of internal medicine told me that many people do exercises and constantly run. What is happening is that you are over doing your heart. If you jogg or run, a few blocks is good, but walking is better, do not sit all day. Get up walk, move and when at the job if it is a desk job, avoid too much coffee and/ or caffein because this accelerates the heart and then the heart has to pump faster than what it is supposed to. A normal BP is 120 over 80. Some persons vary. My husband BP is 90 over 50. This is normal for him. Now I take 2 types of medication for my high bloodpressure because of my past eating which over the years caught up to me. So, take care now to avoid future problems.

YES, there is! a lot of ailments are caused by toxins inside the body. If our body's natural detoxification capability is impaired, ailments will follow. So we need food supplements that could help eliminate these toxins. Therefore, may I recommend to you to take RG/ GL (finerlives.com/ health_food_supplement_series.html). Get well soon! DENS : - )

Hypertension is a condition caused by an increase in the blood pressure. As the blood flows through blood vessels in the human body, it exerts pressure against the walls of the vessels. As the heart contracts in its cycle of pumping blood, blood pressure reaches its highest level. This is called systolic blood pressure. The blood pressure reaches its lowest point when the heart is at rest or is released. This is called diastolic blood pressure. Normal blood pressure is around 120/ 80 mm of Hg (Mercury) for a healthy person. There is no safe limit beyond normal. Any value other than normal should be a reason for taking care. If continuously, the systolic and diastolic pressure excelled the limit of 140/ 90, a human being is said to have high blood pressure. He needs medical care values higher than 160/ 95 are placed in the danger zone. HOME REMEDIES FOR HYPERTENSION * Garlic helps to lower blood pressure by 5 to 10%.

Hi there The most well known herb for high blood pressure is Hawthorn or Hawthorn berries. It increased stroke volume of the heart. Coleus Forskohlii is another herb that has been used to lower blood pressure. Works similar to Hawthorn. Other herbs that have been used are Lily of the Valley and Olive leafs. Before you decide to start on any herbal remedy for your high blood pressure is is vital to talk to your doctor as many herbs can have serious side effects and interact with other pharmaceutical drugs. Read up on each herb and learn about the benefits and side affects and then talk to your doctor and you should be OK. I hope this helps a little.

Believe it or not, a fresh clove of garlic every day helps bring down blood pressure. Celery also helps reduce blood pressure and so does grape juice. You can also make an herbal mixture of equal parts hawthorn berries, yarrow, and limeflower. It is also important to get rid of excess fluid from your body. To do this, during the spring and summer, eat plenty of fresh dandelion leaves in salads. It is a good diuretic and has the added benefit of being rich in potassium. Hope this info is beneficial to you. Lana self-healingexpressions.com

Here's some tips that may help. Reduce salt and get enough potassium. Potassium counteracts the effects of salt. Get enough exercise. Get enough calcium & magnesium. Your blood pressure may be high if you aren't getting enough of these however these aren't treatments in themselves. Eat fish with Omega-3 oils. Try hawthorn too. Supplement with coenzyme q10 which improves the hearts energy supplies. Also try to manage stress and limit alcohol consumption.
