Natural Ways to
Lower Blood Pressure

Lower blood pressure without drugs? Yes! We're going to show you how. But first,let's see if your blood pressure is high or low. Blood pressure is recorded as two numbers—the systolic pressure (as the heart beats) over the diastolic pressure (as the heart relaxes between beats).

Typical values for a resting, healthy adult human are approximately 120 over 80. Your blood pressure undergoes natural variations throughout the day. It can also change due to stress, diet, the drugs you take or if you have any kind of disease.

How do I know if I have high blood pressure?

High blood pressure happens if the walls of the larger arteries lose their natural elasticity and become more rigid, and the smaller vessels become narrower. It can also result from an increase in the circulating blood volume.Hypertension refers to the pressure being abnormaly high, which doctors tell you today is anything above 140.

Numbers are only one measure of your total health. Ethnicity can matter as well.African Americans are more prone to high blood pressure than other groups. It is not co-incidental that this group also suffers more strokes and heart disease, conditions that can come from hypertension. It's important to lower your blood pressure if your numbers are too high.

People over 50 tend to have higher blood pressure than the younger generation. You should know your numbers. Do what you can but give up worrying. To find out what your blood pressure is:

. See a doctor and get checked

. Visit a monitor station in one of your local grocery stores

. Buy a home monitor. You can find one for less than $50

The good news is treatment and lifestyle changes can help you. You may need to take a presciption drug. However, there are also natural ways to lower blood pressure. If you’re willing to make a few lifestyle changes to maintain good health, here are some suggestions:

1) Cut out foods high in sodium. Read the labels.

. One serving of canned soup = 1000 grams of sodium
. Frozen Chinese food = over 1000 grams of sodium in a serving.
. Each slice of regular bread – 200 grams of sodium

Cookies, crackers, potato chips, anything except vegetables in the frozen food section, yogurt, milk, some sodas, most canned goods: soup, fruit and vegetables, most kinds of bread, cottage cheese, hard cheese all are high in sodium.

Before you ask, “What’s left?” let me tell you there are alternatives besides taking a pill. You can find no salt tortilla chips, low sodium soup, low sodium cottage cheese, light sour cream and use evaporated milk. You just have to pay attention when you’re at the store.

. Light or non fat sour cream = 25 grams per serving
. Low sodium cottage cheese = 40 grams per serving
. Low sodium Ezekiel bread = 0 grams
. No salt blue corn tortilla chips = 0 grams
. No salt rice cakes (good with avocado, sour cream or bananas) 0 grams of sodium

2) Start walking. If you’ve never exercised before, walk around your bed the first day, then begin to lengthen your walk. Make it your goal to walk about 30 minutes a day. Get a small dog. They’re like exercise machines with fur. You have to walk them! Within the first month, you'll have lower blood pressure.

3) Buy a mini-trampoline at Target for about $20. Keep it in front of the TV and walk on it a few times a day. Just ten minutes of cardio on the trampoline will do wonders for your blood pressure

4) Find your special way to relax.

. Turn off your ‘monkey mind’ with music or CDs of soothing sounds
. Tune out of the scary TV shows and watch the Comedy Channel
. Go to a feel good movie or rent the DVD
. Read a comforting book
. Learn to meditate
. Take a yoga class
. Get a cat. Petting a cat or dog can lower blood pressure

5) Drink Aloe Vera juice. You can buy a whole gallon for $6.95 at Trader Joe’s. It’s good for your digestive and circulatory systems - another way to lower blood pressure.

6) Eat chocolate, particularly Cocoa Nibs from Sun Nutrition. Find it in a health food store or on the Internet. The nibs are pure cocoa, have lots of vitamins and minerals. You can put them in coffee (decaf) or over low fat, low sodium ice cream as a treat. Or you can just chew on them as a snack.

7) Eat oatmeal for breakfast. It’s rich in fiber and can help lower your blood pressure as well as your cholesterol

8) Cut down on alcohol and caffeine consumption

9) Curb any anger, worry or resentment. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

10) Lose some weight. Even ten pounds can make a big difference
