Answer 1

Answer 2

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

Answer 3

Me home remedies book says the Chinese use celery to reduce high blood pressure, it relaxes the smooth muscle lining the blood vessels.

Answer 4

Diet and exercise are the best ways to try to control high blood pressure

Answer 5

Eliminating or reducing salt in your diet... you DO require some salt as it is converted to energy to power your brain!! Reducing high fat foods, junk food, alcohol and increasing physical activity should theoretically reduce high BP. Do you have a family history of high BP? If heredity is a factor, consult a doctor since this will be a little harder to deal with. Good luck and keep healthy.

Answer 6

Mustard is a secret bulge-buster. It boosts your metabolism and boosts natural ephadrine, the hormone in which burns fat. According to Jeya Holly, professor of human nutrition in Oxford Brookes University, just a tablespoon with your food can reduce a flabby waist by 20 %!

Answer 7

Lose weight. This is the number one way to control you blood pressure. Less in, more out.

Answer 8

Chinese medicine recommends daily drinking of a tea made of dehydrated hibiscus flower petals. Practice some form of meditation, to keep stress low. Lose weight. Cut out salt. Laugh out loud more.

Answer 9

We are alkaline bodies by design, but acid generating by function. Acid is produced by the parietal cells of the stomach to aid in digestion, and acid is consumed in organic form in fruit. However, other than the stomach, no part of the body should be acid.

Despite this, one of the most widespread and insidious causes of illness that plague our society is acidosis - an accumulation of more acid than the body can effectively process.

Acidosis is generally seen by medical science as a part of the pathology of several different diseases. It is encountered often enough to be assumed to be normal; however, acidosis is definitely not normal. It is the forerunner of most, if not all, chronic degenerative diseases including heart disease.

Acidosis corrodes arteries, veins and heart tissues. Like acid eating into marble, acidosis erodes and eats into cell wall membranes of the heart, arteries and veins, weakening cardiovascular structures and inter connective tissues.

Acidosis causes cholesterol plaque to form. LDL-Cholesterol is laid down at an accelerated rate within an acid chemical environment of the cardiovascular system, inappropriately lining the vascular network, and clogging up the works! The amount of cholesterol in the diet has not been found to be a major factor in cholesterol plaque formation. Rather, pH status appears to be the factor more directly involved, binding cholesterol with heavy metals and other cellular debris.

Acidosis disrupts Blood Pressure.
With acidosis, (pH<7.20) arteries become dilated. Yet, severe lowering of blood pH also causes persistent venous vasoconstriction (a disease in the caliber of blood vessels). When this happens, peripheral blood is shifted more centrally: the more acidic the patient, the greater the fractional redistribution of blood to the central vessels. This central redistribution of blood adds to the heart's workload when its contractibility is compromised.

Acidosis inhibits oxygen getting to the tissue. Acidosis or an acid pH decreases the amount of oxygen that can be delivered to cells, making normally healthy cells unhealthy so eventually they die.

Acidosis inhibits life giving electrolyte activity.
Life-essential functions, like electrolyte Potassium (K plus) and Sodium (Na plus) channels, are inactivated by acidosis. This has far reaching effects cardiovascular, since without sufficient electrolyte management, heart attacks are likely to occur. Without appropriate electrolyte management, our heart literally stops beating. Inhibition of electrolyte activity also affects the way we feel and behave, and is intimately involved in the energy levels we experience, because of the nature of the Na-K Pump and cellular metabolism.

The best natural remedy to lower high blood pressure is to drink a sufficient amount of water (your weight divided by 2 = ozs. of water required by your body daily) with a natural and organic, enhanced mineral complex of coral calcium with 70 trace minerals, which transforms the pH of the water beverage to 9.9 (highly alkaline)!
You may ask why not just drink plain water? The answer is: When you drink lots of water, it does not have the essential minerals (calcium, magnesium with 70 trace minerals) that your body needs to elevate its pH and therefore, alkalize your body as the pH of plain water is rather low and very acidic (pH < 7.0).
My husband has had high blood pressure for 35 years and suffered a heart attack last March. Todate, his blood pressure is almost normal most of the time after taking X2O.

Answer 10

Hyertension can be controlled partially by low cholesterol diet and regular exercise.
Eat a low-cholesterol, low-fat diet. This kind of diet includes cottage cheese, fat-free milk, fish (not canned in oil), vegetables, poultry, egg whites, and polyunsaturated oils and margarines (corn, safflower, canola, and soybean oils). Avoid foods with excess fat in them such as meat (especially liver and fatty meat), egg yolks, whole milk, cream, butter, shortening, lard, pastries, cakes, cookies, gravy, peanut butter, chocolate, olives, potato chips, coconut, cheese (other than cottage cheese), coconut oil, palm oil, and fried foods.
Hypertension requires constant monitoring and periodical medical checkup by a doctor. Otherwise any of the following complications may occur.
Complications.
hypertensive heart disease
heart attacks
congestive heart failure
blood vessel damage (arteriosclerosis)
aortic dissection
kidney damage
kidney failure
stroke
brain damage
loss of vision
