High blood pressure runs in my family. My nan suffered from high blood pressure and now my dad has recently been diagnosed. My dad stays very fit, he doesn’t smoke and he eats healthy. He’s determined not to take medication and instead control his high blood pressure the NATURAL way. I want to help my dad, I am after all daddy’s girl. So I am on a mission to find everything there is to know about this condition and discover a high blood pressure diet that works.
Lowering your high blood pressure the NATURAL way
Millions of adults suffer from high blood pressure – a staggering 50 million in the U.S. The incidence of high blood pressure, or hypertension, rises steeply with age, and is usually a symptomless disease. Therefore, it is often known as the ‘silent killer’ because most people can’t tell when their blood pressure is high. By the time an individual develops headaches and palpitations; their blood pressure is often already dangerously high; leading to a greatly increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and other serious illnesses.
But the good news is – if you have been diagnosed with suffering from high blood pressure there are a few simple steps you can make NOW to improve your condition considerably. By making positive changes to your diet and lifestyle, you can reduce your high blood pressure NATURALLY without relying on prescription drugs or surgical procedures, and without any negative side effects.
What to avoid in your diet
* Salt or sodium. High sodium intake causes high blood pressure. Never eat foods containing simple sodium or sodium chloride (processed salt). Foods high in sodium include processed meats, salted snacks, cheeses and canned foods. Sodium chloride is not real salt. Use salt substitutes instead.
What to include in your diet
* Water. Hypertension (high blood pressure) is often caused by chronic dehydration. Drinking plenty of water will hydrate your body and lower blood pressure.
* Vitamins C and E. Researchers have found that a diet rich in the antioxidant vitamins C and E can help lower high blood pressure, as antioxidants are powerful regulators of blood pressure.
* Calcium and vitamin D – also effective in reducing high blood pressure. Calcium rich foods include low-fat milk, green beans, sardines with bones, broccoli, spinach and tofu.
* Foods rich in magnesium, mainly legumes and seeds.
* Foods high in potassium, such as bananas, potatoes, avocados, tomato juice and grapefruit juice.
Changes to your lifestyle
* Reduce your stress and you will reduce your high blood pressure.
* You can also lower your high blood pressure through exercise. Plus exercise is a great stress buster as it increases your endorphins for that feel good factor.
Keeping your blood pressure under control is essential for long-term good health! I’d love to hear your experiences and how a high blood pressure diet has worked for you or your loved one.
