If you are overweight, the first thing you MUST do is get on a good nutrition (Not diet) and exercise plan. Dr. Phil has a very successful one, you can order the book on his websight. I believe Oprah has one also. You may need to take BP meds until you lose the weight, but can probably reduce the dosage as the weight comes off. Also drastically reduce your salt intake, (remove the salt shaker from the table) and restrict fried foods, and red meat. Eat more chicken and fish, and fresh fruits and vegetables, including the green leafy ones like spinach. Garlic is also very good. Use garlic and onion POWDER, or fresh, instead of garlic and onion salt when cooking. Mrs. Dash, is a great salt substitute, and has many good spices that are salt free as well. Simple things like that can make a big difference.

If you are healthy and in shape, then I would suggest green tea, blue berries, and cut out any caffeine, and salt in your diet. Learn how to read food labels. You would be surprised at all the things that are loaded with salt (sodium), and/ or caffeine. Do some research on the internet about what foods help control high blood pressure.

See a Homeopathic Physician if none of the above can get it under control.

Answer 4

Good thing you ask. There's a lot you can do!
- Reduce salt intake.
- Exercise regularly (aim for at least 20 min a day).
- Reduce saturated fat (usually from dietary products and sweets). Go for fats from nuts, fish, soy products.
- Increase fiber. Oatmeal does wonders.
- Stop with the sugar excesses.
- Eat more fish. It contains omega-3 fatty acids, which reduces cholesterol as well.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Be sensible. you know which foods are good and which ones aren't. Try to reduce the bad ones and increase the good ones.

These lifestyle modifications can really make a difference if you stick to them. Any doctor will suggest these before prescribing medicines (unless you have morbidly high BP, such as 160/100). Just changing your diet is the simplest and healthiest way to get your BP down.

Some people have mentioned garlic here. I've heard it helps blood clotting. However, there's no scientific proof to back those claims up, so I wouldn't put too much focus on eating garlic.

Lifestyle modification works for most people before they try drugs. Give this a try for a few months. If you think it doesn't work, then prescription medication might be the only thing that will.

Answer 5

You should read "The Blood Pressure Solution" (also available in electronic format, watch the video presentation here: http://www.fixbloodpressure.com ) It's a very comprehensive step-by-step book that walks you through the natural remedies of high blood pressure. It provides you with a lot of information on what foods to eat, how you can acquire and prepare these foods, how you can change your lifestyle for the better, how to eliminate the toxins from your body, how to reduce stress, how you can check your blood pressure level the correct way etc.

The book is amazing in that it not only lowers your blood pressure without the help of medications; it also aids you in having a life that is healthy, happier, and less stressful. This book chanced my life.

Answer 6

My husband has high blood pressure and tried the natural route with no results. Unfortunately, you will have to go on something like toprol. It's really not a big deal to take the meds for it. It is, however, a much bigger deal to leave it untreated. It could get worse As you get older and you run a much higher risk of heart attack. The benefits of taking the medication such as Toprol is a lowered blood pressure as well as a calmer feeling as a result. you take it once at night and it helps you sleep better, too. There have not been any negative side effects in my husband. He's just been calmer and more at peace. High blood pressure can mean a bigger temper for some. So, I suggest giving it a try. If you don't like it then with your Dr.'s permission, stop. What could be the harm in that?

Answer 7

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 8

A Chiropractic adjustment of the C3 vertebrae at the base of your neck and the top of your spine will correct
High blood pressure. There have been studies to prove this.

I see a Chiropractor 6 to 10 times a year, and have never had high blood pressure.

This is much better than taking more medications. Of course a really clean diet, exercise and losing weight is always a helpful way to improve your blood pressure.

Answer 9

This worked for me, can't say it would for everyone. Green tea, and flaxseed. Of course it makes sense to cut sodium intake as well. I went from being on two blood pressure meds to zero in a month due to my new regimine. My blood pressure is perfect now. Of course my doctor won't say that the two did it, but I personally feel it work for me. Doctor's are funny that way. Natural treatments aren't what many of them want to admit works. Do some reading online about natural remedies for better health. Flaxseed has many health benefits. You might want to also read about that. I hope you can find something natural that will help you. Just keep monitoring your pressure, and keep your doctor informed. :)

Answer 10

If you have noticed high blood pressure , repeat the measurements after few days to confirm if it is a persisting hypertension or it was related to a passing case like being afraid, worried, tensioned, or due to phisical hard work.

If the blood pressure remained high after few days or a week, try the following to reduce your blood pressure:

1- Reduce your weight if you are over weighted

2- Quit smoking if you smoke

3- Revise your diet to reduce fats, salt and salty food, and spices.

4- Make the majority of your meals from vegitables, fruits, weat products ( for bread, spagetty, cookies) and brans.

4-Practice sports like walking or any reasonable sport you like except the tough ones that will have negative impact.

5- Be cool, take it easy, when you have a situation don't panic or over-react, avoid hot arguments, nothing worth destroying your life, and don't be tension while driving.

After few weeks or a month measure your pressure.

The above steps should reduce your blood pressure if it was not essential pressure or not related to any medical defect in your body,

If your pressure is still high after the above steps, it might be essential blood pressure or prssure resulting from other deseases , you have to visit your doctor , he will be able to diagnose and advice the proper treatment.

Take care , don't ignore blood pressure , it has nasty effects on the long run especially on the heart and kidneys, control it even with medicine,

I am using blood pressure medicines since 22 years with no problem.

Answer 11

I take 2000 mg of garlic twice a day. The tablets can be found at any health food store or Wal Mart. It has lowered my bp by 20 points in diastolic and systolic

I also suggest that you ask the technician taking your blood pressure to use a larger cuff because a lot of the time it is an equipment problem, not a you problem.

Make sure to discuss any dietary supplement with your doctor as it may cause your other medications to act differently.

Good luck.
