Blood Pressure Lowering Tips

As a follow up to my last post, here are some other practical ideas you can employ to lower blood pressure as opposed to just take prescription drugs:

• CUT WAY back on white and wheat breads, whole grains, pasta, most breakfast cereals, cornstarch and MOST snack foods which are high in sodium and empty calories. I am talking about the whole crunchy /munchies isle of your local super market.
• TAKE A couple of tablespoons of organic, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil each day
• TAKE Green TEA extract or drink a quality green tea
• DRINK FRESH celery juice every day - make your own
• LIMIT caffeine
• LIMIT alcohol
• DON'T SMOKE
• EXERCISE 30-40 mins at least 5X weekly - brisk walking is terrific
• REDUCE SODIUM  from foods. Make the snack food isle of your local store a forbidden zone
• EAT more fish
• TAKE calcium, magnesium, vitamin D3, CoQ10, omega 3's and vitamin C
• EAT more nuts, pecans, walnuts, pistachios
• TAKE pine bark extract, and pomegranate caps, and Aceytl-L-Carnitine
• EAT more fresh vegetables and fruit every day / steam some broccoli and kale
• DRINK more water
• RELAX on purpose for 1/2 hour every day

This requires more effort than just popping another prescription drug, however in the long run it will pay BIG dividends.

God Bless,
