Answer 1

Hi Rotexx

Here are some ideas to use.

Garlic - Over 2,000 medical studies have validated the many health properties of garlic. Research has shown that eating a clove of raw garlic once a day can not only lower blood pressure levels, but also reduce bad (LDL) cholesterol and triglyceride levels, both of which are associated with heart disease. Garlic has also been shown to reduce fats in the bloodstream and to help minimize the risk of blood platelet adhesion and harmful blood clots. For people who wish to avoid the odor associated with eating raw garlic, garlic extracts can be used instead, or you can roast the garlic cloves before eating them. Raw garlic is the most effective though.

Diet: Adopting a healthy diet is perhaps the most important step you can take to prevent and reverse high blood pressure. Ideally, your diet should consist of 20-25 percent protein, 30 percent healthy fats, and 45 to 50 percent carbohydrates. Fish such as blue fish, cod, Greenland halibut, mackerel, and wild caught salmon are excellent sources of both protein and healthy fats. Avoid farm-raised salmon, because of the antibiotics and food dyes they contain; tuna, which is high in mercury; and shellfish, which contain a high degree of contaminants. Your intake of red meat should also be minimized, and if eating red meat, bison or lamb are preferred. Choose free range, organic poultry, preferably turkey. Keep portions small, between 4-8 oz. Excellent vegetarian options include tempeh, tofu, eggs, and soaked and cooked or soaked, sprouted and steamed beans or legumes.

Also include lots of organic, fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as non-wheat complex carbohydrates, and drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day. For additional benefit, also include garlic and onions and use raw virgin coconut butter/oil or extra virgin olive oil for all of your cooking needs. For salads, olive and flaxseed oils are recommended. Raw, unpasteurized dairy products in moderation are acceptable. During the cooler months a good breakfast choice is organic oatmeal, which has been shown to reduce cholesterol, blood pressure levels and to reduce the overall risk of heart disease. Optionally, cream of brown rice cereal or quinoa flakes make a delicious warm breakfast cereal. In the summer months consider smoothies, fresh fruit salad or unsweetened granola and fruit.

Excellent choices for fruits and vegetables are organic avocados, bananas, cantaloupe, honeydew melons, grapefruit, nectarines, oranges, asparagus, broccoli, brown rice, cabbage, cauliflower, green peas, kidney and lima beans, leafy green vegetables, nuts such as almonds, cashews, walnuts and pecans, potatoes, squash, and yams. Wheat germ, ground flax seed and oat bran can also be used to ensure adequate levels of fiber in your diet.

In addition, avoid all sugars and simple, refined carbohydrates, as well as alcohol and coffee and other caffeine products, and minimize your salt intake, using sea salt instead of commercial or refined table salt for seasoning.

Herbal Medicine: The following herbs can all help prevent and reverse high blood pressure and its associated symptoms: garlic, hawthorn berry, olive leaf extract, and the medicinal mushrooms maitake and reishi.

Best of health to you

Answer 2

Sorry about your diagnoses. However, having hypertension can be cured or managed. First of all, if you are overweight and in order to find out. Calculate your BMI. Also, if you are you should work out, eat healthy balanced meals that are low in sodium and I believe eventually you will see results. However, there are some individuals that have genetic dispositions to hypertension (i.e. people who have kidney disease, or other factors).
I would have to say take this advice.
(1) Exercise.
(2) Eat healthy.
(3) Monitor your blood pressure at least 2x a week to see the difference.

Answer 3

Ask doctor for best health advise. But.... Be control your diet and meal consumption. Take more vegetables and fruits also plant products. Make less the animal products, meat and so on...... Take much water and light exercise daily like jogging. Take less pill which increase high blood preasure. The best therapy for high blood preasure is rest and relax. But I recommended you that to meditate.

Answer 4

Hypertension control and preventing re-occurrence need compliance on the drugs which was prescribed by ur Dr. dependent on ur state and u should:
start regular exercisers
lose weight if ur over weight and avoid fatty and salty foods

Answer 5

If the Dr. put you on medication then take your medication daily as you were told. If you are overweight then lose weight and excercise. This is what I did and my blood pressure is back to normal.
Good Luck.
