Anyone know of techniques to lower high blood pressure?
- I’m a 20 year old male
- I don’t smoke and rarely drink
- I’m not overweight, 6′0” 172 lbs

I took my blood pressure the other day at a CVS and it was a little high. It’s always been like this, but I don’t want it to get out of hand.

Don’t drink anything, especially not beer. The yeast in the beer, combined with the alcohol, will raise your blood pressure. As far as foods, limit the salt in your diet.

And, exercise regularly. Moderate exercise will help lowe it as well.

Also, find out if your parents/grandparents have high bp. If they do, it’s a good chance that yours may end up that way too, so it’s a good idea to catch it early.

I am a 49 years old man and I have had high blood pressure for about three years now. I am starting to develop a secondary ailment though. Is poor blood circulation a major problem and how do you fight it? Is there any type of food or natural treatment for it? I live in a country with high temperatures and I fear I am heading for a major discomfort this spring since the problem just keeps on growing.

Here i s an excellent site with some wonderful options for you. It will definitely help you. Have a look. http://webmd64.notlong.com/AAsUip4

Are there any hormones that can lower blood pressure?

Omega 3 Fish Oil, that’s the best stuff. If you have high blood pressure, take about 4000-6000mg of fish oil a day with food.

I have a blood pressure test in three days and I really need to lower my blood pressure… I’ve been doing my best so far keeping sodium intake under 2000 mg a day.. What will help to further lower sodium/ blood pressure?
Doctor said 2000 mg is how much sodium intake should be. I am overweight and I have been drinking plenty of water.

Not everyone is affected by sodium, but sodium can increase blood pressure in some people. Most Americans with healthy blood pressure should limit the sodium in their diet to 2,300 mg per day. African Americans, older Americans and people with high blood pressure should limit the sodium in their diet to 1,500 mg per day. Your doctor may tell you to limit your sodium even more.

Don’t add salt to your food. Check food labels for sodium. While some foods obviously have a lot of sodium, such as potato chips, you may not realize how much sodium is in food like bread, canned vegetables, soups and cheese. Also be aware that some medicines contain sodium.

Other measures:

# Reduce your weight if you are obese: High blood pressure and obesity are intimately related. High blood pressure is extremely common in fat persons.The greater the obesity, the higher the blood pressure.

# Cultivate correct dietary habits: A person with high blood pressure consume low-sugar, low-saturated fat, low-salt, and low-calorie diet. calcium and potassium have also been found to be useful in bringing down the blood pressure.

# Give up alcohol:If a person continues to drink, other measures to reduce blood pressure usually fail.

# Stop smoking :The incidence of high blood pressure has been found to be greater in smokers. Tobacco has two toxic elements ; nicotine and carbon monoxide.
