natural_cures_for_high_blood_pressureHigh blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a common health condition that affects 1 out of 3 Americans today.

High blood pressure occurs when the blood pressure rate measures 140/90 mmHg or higher.

Since high blood pressure is known as the silent killer due to its lack of symptoms in the early stages, many people have no idea that they even have high blood pressure.

There are several causes for high blood pressure. Among them:

  • obesity
  • low activity levels
  • tobacco & alcohol use
  • age
  • family history
  • stress
  • high sodium intake
  • low potassium intake

As you can see, high blood pressure isn’t picky when choosing its victims.

However, if you or someone you know has high blood pressure, there is hope!

Following are some natural cures for high blood pressure…

Natural Cures For High Blood Pressure

  • Do regular exercise. As little as 30 minutes a day of aerobics, strength training, cardio, yoga, or even just walking can significantly lower your blood pressure.
  • Cut out foods that raise insulin levels like sugars, grains, rice, potatoes, pastas, cereals, and even some fruits that are high in carbohydrates.
  • Reduce your stress by praying, meditating, or even focusing on your breathing — like this 2-minute relaxation technique.
  • Keep your Vitamin D levels normal in order to help lower and normalize your blood pressure.
  • Make sure your omega 6 to omega 3 fat ratio is correct by lowering your vegetable oil intake and maintaining a high quality source of omega 3 fats.
  • Drink 50% of your body weight in ounces of water daily. (For example, if you weigh 150 lbs, drink 75 oz of water daily.)

About Us

LynnetteProfessionally, I pursued my Masters Degree in Family Therapy at Texas Tech -- where I obtained invaluable expertise and experience helping people with a wide variety of physical and emotional health issues. Personally, I think it's useful when people realize that they're not the only one going through a difficult time. So any time that I think my personal health experiences would be helpful to someone else going through the same thing, I will share my story here. With health issues that I've personally experienced (like Endometriosis, Lyme Disease, Hysterectomy, Skin Cancer, Ganglion Cysts, Autism, and other topics that very few people enjoy talking about) and health products that I've found beneficial (like sleep aids, essential oils, and medications)... I do my best to provide my own raw and honest firsthand experiences that I think others would appreciate hearing about and (hopefully) find helpful. I'm grateful that I have a number of friends who have also been willing to share their very personal stories here -- regarding their own physical and emotional health. When I'm not writing about health topics, you will find me sharing Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).

JoshuaI want everyone to live their best life... for as long as possible. So I often write about the health screenings that we all should be getting -- to help catch potential health issues early. (Yes, I get my screenings too.) I also share my knowledge and experience with specific health problems that I am personally familiar with.
