Today's topic is on '' 7 NATURAL WAYS TO LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE ''
1) GO FOR POWER WALKS : Exercise helps the heart use oxygen more efficiently, so it doesn't work as hard to pump blood. Going for fitness walks at a brisk pace can lower pressure by almost 8mmhg over 6mmhg.
2) BREATHE DEEPLY : Try 5 minutes in the morning and at night to inhale deeply and expand your belly. Exhale and release all of your tension. Stress hormones elevate renin which is a kidney enzyme that raises blood pressure. When you try to do slow breathing and meditative practices, it will help to decrease those stress hormones.
3) PICK POTATOES : Loading up on potassium-rich fruits and veggies is an important part of any blood pressure-lowering programme. Top sources of potassium-rich produce include sweet potatoes, tomatoes, orange juice, potatoes, bananas,kidney beans, peas, etc.
4) BE SALT SMART: We should take 1,500 mg daily (half a teaspoon of salt contains about 1,200 mg of sodium.
5) INDULGE IN DARK CHOCOLATE : Dark chocolate varieties contain flavanols that make blood vessels more elastic. In one study, 18% of patients who ate it every day saw blood pressure decrease. Have 1/2 ounce daily(make sure it contains at least 70% cocoa).
6) RELAX WITH MUSIC : According to researchers at the University of Florence in Italy, the right tunes can help even hypertensive patients lower their blood pressure. Good soothing music for at least 30 minutes a day while breathing slowly, can go a long way in lowering high blood pressure .
7) JUMP FOR SOY : According to studies, replacing some of the refined carbohydrates in your diet with foods high in soy or milk protein such as low-fat dairy can bring down systolic blood pressure (I.e the upper reading) if one is hypertensive or per hypertensive.
I hope these tips for today will help some one and please remember to share this if you care . Above all, find peace and rest in GOD. One love.
