NO MEDICATION NEEDED
Lowering blood pressure does not always mean
taking medications. It is actually possible to reduce
blood pressure levels naturally by following these
tips.
3. GET MOVING & DRINK MORE
WATER
EXERCISING AND STAYING HYDRATED TO
LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE
One of the best ways to strengthen the
cardiovascular system is through cardio exercise.
Going for a run, playing soccer, or doing anything
else to strengthen the heart can be just as effective
as certain blood pressure medications.
When a person does not drink enough water, their
blood becomes thicker and heavier, putting far more
pressure on blood vessels. Making sure to drink 64
ounces of water a day to stay hydrated helps to drop
blood pressure naturally.
4. LOSE EXTRA WEIGHT
One of the most common causes of high
blood pressure is being overweight.
Being obese or overweight puts a lot of
strain on the body, so just reducing
weight by a few pounds can drastically
lower blood pressure.
REDUCE SALT INTAKE
Too much sodium throws off the balance
of water absorption in the body, so it is
best to stick to no more than 2,300
milligrams of salt a day. Check nutrition
labels on packages carefully
5. QUIT USING NICOTINE & CALM
DOWN
MAKE HEALTHIER AND MORE MINDFUL CHOICES
Those who are using nicotine in any form can greatly
impact their blood pressure by quitting nicotine usage.
Tobacco causes a lot of other problems for the heart, so
it is best to avoid it if possible.
People who chronically deal with stress have far higher
blood pressure even when they are not actively stressed
out. Learning how to stay calm can be difficult, but a few
things that help are meditation, yoga, spending time
with loved ones, and laughing at something funny.
