You can bring your blood pressure reading down to 120/80 within a month using natural blood pressure control techniques if you put your mind and body into it.
You can lower blood pressure without drugs if you understand how a natural alternative works.
The first big difference between HBP medication and a natural approach is that the medicine is targeted to control your condition and the natural approach is designed to cure it.
If you stay on drugs your condition will never get better.
If you work at a natural solution, not only will you have normal blood pressure but you will live a longer healthier life.
So what is this miracle natural cure? It's pretty much common sense.
Over 70 million people have high blood pressure in America and much of it can be attributed to our lifestyle.
We are a country of obese adults who are raising an increasingly large percentage of obese children.
Obesity and lack of physical exercise are closely tied to hypertension and other diseases.
We eat junk.
Convenience plays a larger role in what we select to eat than the nutritional value of the food itself.
We consume huge quantities of processed foods, fast foods and snack foods that are high in sodium, cholesterol, and saturated fats.
We are in absolute love with commercial deep fryers.
Technology has made exercise an option, not something that was part of everyday life three generations ago.
Your great grandparents ate the largest meal of the day, "dinner" at noon.
That's because their jobs required physical exertion and they needed to be refueled to last out the day.
Supper was a light meal that was served in the evening.
Exercise today is viewed as recreational and therefore optional.
The natural approach to lowering BP is based on three strategies that attack the behaviors that are associated with high blood pressure.
* Exercise * Diet * Stress Management Exercise is the quickest way to drop your systolic and diastolic pressure readings.
Thirty minutes of mild aerobic exercise daily can not only drop the pressure but it will tone up the body and burn off some of the hormones associated with stress.
Thirty minutes of walking or cycling every day is an absolute must for a successful natural treatment.
Diet plays an enormous role in controlling and repairing your condition.
The American Heart Association recommends the DASH diet for treatment of high blood pressure.
This diet is rich in fresh foods that provide the minerals and vitamins required plus powerful antioxidants that stop the oxidation process in the blood vessels.
It's not a vegetarian diet.
It's a very doable diet but it requires that you stop eating unhealthy foods that are more convenient.
Feeding the body the right fuel is imperative to lowering pressure.
Unmanaged stress is a killer.
Our bodies react to stress as a threat and the fight or flight response kicks in.
This responses pumps blood faster, creates anticoagulant chemicals making our blood thicker, tightens muscles and in general worsens a high blood pressure problem.
In nature we would fight the threat or run away from it burning off the effects of the fight or flight response.
In practice however, we do very little and the effects remain in our body.
Exercise and regular sleep can go a long way in managing the affects of stress.
Much of the stress we face today we simply can't avoid so we have to find ways to distract ourselves.
It's not unusual for combat soldiers to develop a black sense of humor to deal with the horror that they face.
Trying to distract everyday stress through humor or simply decompression time is helpful in lowering pressure.
It's important to note that these three strategies work together but do not work alone.
You have to commit to exercise, diet and stress management for this approach to work.
