How to lower blood pressure.?

Question

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Some foods raise blood pressure (salt, processed foods, snacks such a potato chips, corn chips) and some food lower it (spinach, bananas). Also, try walking 45 minutes a day. Tai Chi has also been shown effective in reducing blood pressure.

There are also a number of herbs that may be effective in reducing blood pressure. The research studies on some of these herbs and their properties are still underway. But recently, capsicum frutescens, which is found in red cayenne peppers, as well as gingko biloba has been getting a lot of press.  Be careful about self-medicating with herbs of this type because even though they are "natural" and thus would seem to have no side effects, no research has been concluded about proper dosage. Nor has any research been cincluded into how these herbs react in combination with other drugs or supplements you may be taken.

Answer 4

Proper diet and exercise are good places to start. But natural herbs can also do a lot to help lower blood pressure.

For example, hawthorne berry is great for improving blood circulation. Even bodybuilders take it as a supplement to enhance their workouts.

Garlic strengthens the heart and reduces hardening of the arteries. And capsicum pepper is another herb that can reduce blood pressure. In fact, The New England Journal of Medicine recently reported that the people of Thailand have virtually no problems with blood clotting because capsicum pepper is a staple of their diet.

You can buy these herbs individually, or try a multi-herb supplement, such as Hyperzosin, which has been featured on Oprah, CNN, and 60 Minutes.

The best thing about using natural herbs to lower blood pressure is that they don't have side effects. This is is a big deal because prescription blood pressure medications are notorious for their negative side effects, including impotence, insomnia, and fatigue.
