Help with Blood Pressure Issues
NUTRITION FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE:
I always recommend buying your own cuff and taking blood pressure 3X day and averaging it. Drugs treat the symptoms of high blood pressure which can be necessary in some cases but CURING the problem requires nutritional support and supplementation along with dietary and lifestyle changes.
1st off: WATER – almost all blood pressure meds mimic the effects of increased water intake. Drink 15 glasses a day if you have high blood pressure. Yes, a lot but it helps to relax your arteries. Quit the soft drinks and make water your drink of choice. Eat POTASSIUM rich foods . The higher your Potassium level, the lower your sodium level so google some high potassium foods (like bananas) and make sure they are part of your diet. Fresh fruits and veggies will lower your blood pressure and take care of your body in many other healthy ways. Eat cold water fish and/or take Omega 3 supplement. FISH OIL is huge for lowering blood pressure. MAGNESIUM GLUCONATE – less arterial tension because it also relaxes arteries. It is Recommended to take 500-1000 milligrams a day divided into 3 doses. COQ10 like exercise for your arteries and it very important. Many with high Bp are deficient in this nutrient. EXERCISE – get moving…no excuses…walk but do not become sedentary. HIDDEN EMOTIONS huge cause….DEAL with it…Change what you can but release what you must! GARLIC – eat as much as you can fresh or supplement…2-3 cloves a day…friends may not like it but you will feel FANTASTIC! J Try this and monitor your blood pressure. If you are holding onto bitterness, hatred and anger….not much will help in this area or any other. SO….loosen up…forgive….enjoy life….embrace it!
