Home remedy for high blood pressure:

High blood pressure is a dangerous situation that can damage your heart. If left unchecked, the risk of heart disease and stroke will increases. But there is no need to worry or to take heavy doses medicines because the good news is that there are several natural home remedies you can use.

High blood pressure occurs when the pressure on arteries and blood vessels becomes too high and the arterial wall becomes deformed, which causes additional stress on the heart. Long-term hypertension increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, and diabetes. Frequently, there are no symptoms when blood pressure increases, but warning signs of high blood pressure may include chest pain, confusion, headache, ringing in the ears, irregular heartbeat, bleeding.

About 20 million Pakistani adults suffer from hypertension. Because it can have serious health consequences, it should be treated as soon as the diagnosis is made. But drugs are no longer essential.

Best 3 natural ways to lower hypertension

1. Taming stress

2. Reduce salt intake

3. Avoid tobacco

This may be your case if your hypertension is between 140/90 and 150/100 to the doctor, but on condition that the value is confirmed in self-measurement or in ambulatory measurement over 24 hours, and that you do not suffer from no other metabolic disorder (diabetes, etc.)

1. Taming stress

Without being the main cause of high blood pressure, stress can make it worse, especially in people exposed to work stress, fits of anger, or having an internalized temperament. A series of studies have shown the effectiveness of "heart coherence" in reducing stress-related high blood pressure.

Cardiac coherence is rhythmic breathing: inhale through the nose for 5 seconds, pause, and then exhale through the nose or mouth over 5 seconds, focusing on your breath.

The exercise should last 5 minutes, the time need to balance the nervous system that regulates our blood pressure and heart rate. Ideally, practice it three times a day.

2. Reduce salt intake

In 40% of hypertensive, and especially after 45 years, an excess of salt can raise the blood pressure because it makes water go out of the cells and tissues in the blood, increasing the blood volume.

Limit yourself to a maximum of 6 g of salt per day: forget the salt shaker, avoid salty foods such as aperitif cookies, cold meats, certain cheeses (goat cheese, blue cheese ...).

3. Avoid tobacco

Smoking a cigarette raises blood pressure from time to time and ultimately promotes the aging of the arteries. That’s why quitting smoking can help delay drug treatment.

Blood pressure and home remedies:

A doctor told me to take antihypertensive tablets for life. I couldn't stand all these drugs and lately, my right arm was hurting a lot, especially in the evening. My blood pressure remained high despite the tablets and finally, without asking the advice of my doctor, I stopped taking these pills. I eat a lot of garlic, drink lots of juice and water, and try to refrain from red meat. I even go for a walk.

The causes of high blood pressure are high calorie, emotional diet, stress, alcohol, caffeine, smoking, obesity, inactivity, birth control pills, heavy metal poisoning. The first line of defense against hypertension is usually drug therapy. But before you start medication, try home remedies for high blood pressure. Always ask your doctor for advice before taking any natural remedies. If the disease gets worse, it is also better to consult.

Onions: Onions like their cousins' garlic offer a host of cardiovascular benefits. Onions contain a powerful antioxidant. The secret to getting as much of this enzyme is to eat raw or lightly cooked onions.

Carrots: Carrots contain high levels of beta carotene antioxidants, vitamin A and vitamin C. Antioxidants reduce the amount of carcinogenic free radicals in the body. They also protect against damage to blood vessels and cell death. Carrots are also rich in electrolyte and potassium. Potassium is excellent for maintaining fluid balance in the body and normalizing blood pressure. Potassium neutralizes the effects of sodium. Consumed in large, sodium can negatively affect blood pressure.

Hibiscus tea: Hibiscus is widely used worldwide to manage blood pressure. Hibiscus acts as a diuretic and removes any excess fluid from your heart and tissues. This decreases the pressure on the arterial walls. The walls of the vessel are relaxed and the blood volume decreases, which lowers your blood pressure.

Ginger: Ginger is great for preventing heart problems, such as lowering blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, and preventing blood clots. Ginger lowers bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein) by preventing plaque buildup on the arterial walls, which can lead to increased blood pressure.

Essential monitoring:

It will be done by self-measurement of blood pressure at home by home remedies... but also by blood, cardiological and ophthalmological assessments which will be done every 6 to 12 months depending on the importance of high blood pressure.

Conclusion:

Detecting and treating hypertension in diabetics is one of the most effective measures to prevent complications, while pharmacotherapy is one of the most effective ways to maintain target BP levels in primary care settings.
