Natural Ways to Lower Blood
September 28th, 2007 by admin
Really, everyone agrees that maintianing a low blood pressure
or lowering your blood pressure, if it is high, is important.
Since Hypertension or High Blood Pressure is a leading cause
of stroke, heart attack and congestive heart failure and it’s
symptoms can be subtle and difficult to detect, high blood
pressure is often referred to as ‘The Silent Killer’. In fact
, every year more than 2 million deaths result from uncontrolled
high blood pressure.
Why consider lowering blood
pressure naturally
When we speak of lowering blood pressure naturally, we are
referring to alternatives to pharmaceuticals or blood pressure
medicines. So, why even consider alternatives to medicines
that lower blood pressure?
Believe it or not, there are reasons to consider alternatives
to hypertensive medications. A list of these would include:
- Hypertensive Medication is difficult to stop once started
- Some people don’t tolerate hypertensive medication well
- Hypertensive medication doesn’t work for everyone
- People recovering from substance abuse prefer to remain drug free
- Hypertensive medication can have side effects
- There is an ongoing cost involved in long term medication usage
Are there good natural methods to lower blood pressure?
While ultimately it is a personal choice, in consultation
with a physician, what method somebody with hypertension uses
to lower their blood pressure (medication or alternative methods
or a combination) the bottom line is that blood pressure needs
to be controlled. More and more physicians are recommending
that their patients try alternative methods such as lifestyle
changes and biofeedback devices such as Resperate
before starting medication or along with any medication that
they are using. After all, any method that allows for easier
control of high blood pressure with medication is very helpful
to medical treatment. Home biofeedback devices, such as the
Resperate Machine,
emWave PC Stress Relief System, StressEraser
and emWave Personal Stress Reliever are important enough strategies
for empowering people of all ages to positively affect their
blood pressure that we have devoted several pages to them
in this review.
We also consider LifeStyle and Nutrional methods to lower
blood pressure. A comprehensive plan of improved lifesytle
and nutrition can be extremely important tools for lowering
blood pressure.
The message we want to convey is that there is hope. How to lower your blood pressure naturally is no longer a mystery and no longer difficult. In these pages we intend to present a series of ideas that we hope will inspire further research and spark action by those people looking for alternative methods to lower their blood pressure. Remember, blood pressure is influenced by many factors and the more factors you work with and change in your life the more effective you will be.
Blood pressure medications have made me deathly ill.They cause anxiety and depression.I’m currently working on the dash diet.
Hi Curtis,
Working on switching to the DASH diet is a great start on lowering your blood pressure naturally. Don’t forget that blood pressure can be affected by many factors so don’t forget regular exercise, relaxation exercises and losing weight. Changing any one of these factors can certainly lower blood pressure but working on all of them simultaneously can be even more effective.
It also works to tackle one at a time so you don’t get overwhelmed; once you succeed in switching to the DASH diet and if you still need more improvement in your blood pressure you can start on a second change.
