Unexpected Ways To Lower Blood Pressure Quickly Without Medication

 

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is not just a health condition, it’s a disease.

What Is High Bood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the body’s reflection of the tension in the blood vessels. The more tense they are, the higher your blood pressure is and harder the heart has to work, said Dr. Vincent Bufalino, a spokesperson for the American Heart Association.

High blood pressure increases your risk for heart attack and stroke, and if it’s not well-controlled, kidney failure can result as well. It’s in the same group of other serious risk factors including high cholesterol, obesity, type 2 diabetes, smoking and family history.

Here are few ways to prevent and control high blood pressure. Watch The video above for more information.

1. Eat more vegetables.

Studies show that the more potassium in the diet, the lower blood pressure is. The best sources of potassium are in vegetables, so aim to get upwards of nine servings a day.

2. Cut caffeine.

Caffeine is a driver for blood pressure. You don’t have to stop your habit cold- turkey but try to limit your intake from coffee, tea, soda, sports drinks and chocolate.

Lifestyle plays an important role in treating your high blood pressure.
