Know the Alternative Methods of Treating High Blood Pressure


The "silent killer" is there inside your body, but you don’t even know it’s there! And before you know it, considerable amount of damage will have been done to your body.

Some scientific studies show that OTC medications can come with significant side effects. Fortunately, there are a few alternative methods out there that could help you lower your blood pressure.

A good method could be to bring some positive changes in your life and lifestyle. In some instances, healthy changes in your lifestyle can help you lower your blood pressure.

If you just follow a few helpful tips, chances are high that you’ll have a great opportunity to lower your blood pressure and avoid heart complications.

Don’t rely solely on the blood pressure readings taken at the doctor's, as these might be less than accurate. Did you know that some people actually undergo a problem called the "white coat syndrome" where the readings might differ a lot because of high levels of stress?

So it is better to have the blood pressure checked once more when you get back home. Use a home version of sphygmomanometer for this. There are many blood pressure cuff and gauge gadgets that you can rely on.

Get the readings at a fixed time every day. Taking multiple readings at different times of the day can also help as the blood pressure can fluctuate throughout the day.

Losing extra pounds can always have a helpful effect on your blood pressure. Get used to eating healthy food items. Also work out on a regular basis. Aerobic workouts can help.

Try walking, running and swimming. Any workout that raises your pulse will work. Try something that sustains the hyped rate for 20 minutes at least. This can help.

Stay away from non-aerobic workouts (e.g. weight lifting and push-ups). They harm those with high blood pressure.

Stress reduction has always been the key if you wish to lower your high blood pressure. Just relax using meditation, yoga and biofeedback treatments. Nice and gentle massage can also help.

In the same way, you could also take some rest if you want to lower your blood pressure. There are chronically stressed people whose adrenaline glands release abnormally high quantity of adrenaline.

This could cause the tiny blood vessels to significantly constrict. This could also make it really hard for your heart to pump enough blood to them.

Stay away from alcohol, caffeine and tobacco. A balanced diet can also help in reducing hypertension. You should try to steer clear of animal fats.

Rather, you should try and add as much fruits and fresh veggies as you can to your regular diet. Good proteins happen to come from fish, chicken, turkey and legumes. The bottom line is that you can try to keep a diet that is low-fat and rich in fiber.

There are some special food items that are helpful. Good examples are bananas (rich in potassium), celery (rich in photochemical 3-N-butylphthalide that can help reduce BP), leafy green veggies and milk (rich in calcium).

Some clinical research has found that food items rich in different types of folate (e.g. beans, cereals, Brussels sprouts, asparagus) can also help. Same goes for cayenne pepper and foods rich in vitamin C, which may prevent artery wall damage.

Make sure to get essential fatty acids in your diet from fish like salmon and sardines. You can even obtain these through supplements. Enjoy season foods with plenty of garlic, which is effective in lowering blood pressure.

You should try and follow a strictly salt-free diet. You should also stay away from food items containing salt, soda, sodium.

You need to try and avoid foods with malicious preservatives like MSG, sugar substitutes and meat tenderizers. Same goes for soy sauce as it comes with high amount of salt content.

You can also consult homoeopathy, reflexology, acupuncture or herbal treatment experts to treat your high blood pressure. Try to use herbs to treat your problem.

A good example could be Noni juice, which has been used as a substitute to high blood pressure medications. You should try to drink up Noni juice before your meals and during your relaxation time, as this can lower your blood pressure more effectively.

Other good remedies are Coleus plants, the Asian mushroom Reishi, Vitamins like Coenzyme Q10 and Omega-3 fish oils. If you don’t have gastric problems, you can take lots of Vitamin C.
