Naturally Lower Blood Pressure

Posted By: Effrim  //  Category: naturally lower blood pressure

Who says it can’t be done?! Who says you can’t Lower Blood Pressure Naturally? Is it the same people that want you to spend thousands of dollars on prescription drugs for the rest of your life?

What they don’t tell you is the cause of the high blood pressure. They also don’t tell you the alternative to a lifetime of drugs. Or, that once you start taking prescription drugs, getting off of them is difficult and dangerous.

High blood pressure, or hypertension as it is also known, affects approximately one third of the US population; that’s about 72 million people. And sadly, high blood pressure is no longer a disease for just older people. It is now affecting teenagers and those even younger.

I won’t get into it here why doctors do what they do, or recommend what they recommend. I will leave the discussion on limited thinking and modern medical “treatments” for another time. But what I will get into are the ways to lower blood pressure naturally.

Of course we all know the other recommendations to lower your blood pressure—lose weight, exercise more, cut out alcohol, salt, etc… But many (including the well-meaning doctors) prefer the easy road which results in beta blockers, alpha blockers or the other standard and unhealthy pharmaceutical blood pressure “quick fixes.”

I am here to fix all that. My humble website looks at ways to lower high blood pressure naturally. I recommend specific foods, supplements, herbs, home remedies, exercises, and many other considerations to effectively battle hypertension.

And my story is simple. I was 18 when a doctor first tried to prescribe medication for my high blood pressure. 18! I was fit, active, healthy… and I refused to commit to lifetime medication. Another doctor tried again when I was 25 and it was then I knew there had to be a better way. There was no way I was going to start on the merry-go-round of drugs. So now, as I enter my 40s with blood pressure lower than ever before in my life, I want to spread the good word. There is a better way. There ARE better ways. And they are here.

To start with, I have to recommend the High Blood Pressure Remedy Report. This thing is packed with information that you need to start Lowering Blood Pressure Naturally - NOW!

So sit back, relax (one easy recommendation to lowering your blood pressure) and please feel free to comment, request research information, tell me I’m crazy (even though my blood pressure is under control and I’ve never taken a prescription—so something I’m doing is working!) or just tell me what you think of the site and how it could be improved.

I’m waiting to hear from you.

Welcome to the the *Inaugural* post of the Naturally Lower Your Blood Pressure Blog!

Posted By: Effrim  //  Category: naturally lower blood pressure


Welcome to the inaugural post of the site dedicated to Naturally Lower Blood Pressure. Ok, well, this isn’t so much the ‘inaugural’ post as it is the official launch of the website.

Firstly, let me get the small print out of the way and make perfectly clear that I am not a doctor or health care professional. This site does not claim to provide medical advice or treatments, nor does it advocate avoiding or ignoring your doctor’s advice.

The sole purpose of this site is to provide alternative methods of treatment for high blood pressure. If you’re looking for a get-healthy-quick recipe, you will not find it here. Having naturally lower blood pressure takes time, effort, hard work, and perseverance—and once you get there you can’t quit.

It’s likely that because you are here, at this website, you already question the prolific use of pharmaceutical drugs for common health conditions. And you would likely agree with me that if someone is on prescription drugs, lets say  for high cholesterol, and they’ve been taking these drugs for 5, 10 or even 20 years and they stop taking it—and their cholesterol hits the ceiling. Isn’t the logical conclusion that the drug is not working?! It’s not correcting the problem, it’s masking it. Meanwhile, the problem continues, likely getting worse because nothing is being done about it!

Absolutely take your doctor’s advice about exercise, losing weight, cutting out salt and fats (only bad fats, but I’ll come to that in a later post). But do you really want to take the advice of: “Here, get these 3-4 prescriptions filled, spend thousands of dollars, and take them for the rest of your life.”

Face it, at the end of the day the choice is yours. Nobody, not your Doctor, your family, or your friends, can do this for you. You need to put in the effort and make the commitment in order for this to happen. You’re still reading….which means at least a part of you must want it…SO GET OUT THERE AND DO IT! (Yes! I’m yelling, I get a bit passionate about this topic.)

So, as long as the AMA, or some other medical body doesn’t take me down, I will keep posting the methods I have found to have the greatest benefit. I don’t guarantee anything since I can’t guarantee what you will do once you leave this page. But hopefully you’ll keep coming back for inspiration, support and continuing education and information on ways to Naturally Lower Blood Pressure.

And really,  I want to hear your success stories. What worked for you and what didn’t. Share your horror stories and your triumphs. Tell me how you went from 160/110 to 120/80 and are living the good life.

What are some natural remedies for reducing blood pressure and/or water retention?

Posted By: Effrim  //  Category: naturally lower blood pressure

Please do not give me medical advice or tell me to see a doctor. I know what Hypertension is and what causes it. I am asking this question for a friend who WILL NOT go to the doctor, because he does not have a job or insurance. I want to try and help him.

Diet changes and lowering his stress levels will help. Lower his sodium intake and increasing his potassium intake will helps lower blood pressure, bananas are good source of potassium. There are some natural herbs that also help lower blood pressure, lime Hawthorne and olive leaf extract. Check out a local health food store

Which Natural supplements work to lower blood pressure?

Posted By: Effrim  //  Category: naturally lower blood pressure

Is there any studies on natural products that help to lower blood pressure?

I used to follow these quite extensively - but in the last few years, all of the things I would have recommended - Large doses of CoQ10, fish oil, etc….haven’t held up to double blind studies…many of them are available through “google scholar” So I’m going to suggest exercise, large reductions of fat in the diet and reduction of stress…. That will certainly do the trick - if you do it….that’s the hard part.

Any tips on natural ways to lower blood pressure?

Posted By: Effrim  //  Category: lower blood pressure naturally

I have had a lot going on recently, and my blood pressure is showing it!(Last read was 160/90! Eeeesh!)A wedding,(mine)a fundraiser for our local Children’s Hospital,an up-coming son’s graduation and ultimate departure for USMC… Also some on-going health issues to deal with in the mix! I have cut my smoking in half, and switched to drinking caffiene-free soda. Also use Morton’s Lite Salt.What else should I do? I’m taking hydrochlorothyazide 25mg. (Doc called it a water pill?) I HATE taking pills! Any natural suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Stop drinking carbonated or sweet drinks they are loaded with sodium. Try taking some things off your plate to reduce the stress your experiencing. Won’t be much fun getting married when your dead. Re evaluate your priorities, try some mediation, take up tai chi, look at some other type of exercise activities. Get back to me in a month and let me know how your doing.

How can I lower my blood pressure the safe and natural way, without any side effects and keep it that way?

Posted By: Effrim  //  Category: Uncategorized

I'm 38 year old female looking to lower blood pressure the safe and natural way.

here are my tips to reduce or keep the blood pressure low.

1) Reduce salt -intake, cut down on gravy, preserved food, sauces anything that has salt, since salt will retain water in the blood vessel which directly increase the pressure.

2) Eat food that are rich in potassium. it helps to remove sodium and water which will directly lower the blood pressure. papaya and banana are good sources of potassium.

3) reduce intake on food that are high in saturated fats, cut it down to minimal. it would be better to set say 3 days a week to be vegetarian (better still if one can go full vegetarian).

4) watch out for high cholesterol food. it will thicken the wall of the blood vessels causes the blood pressure to increase. eat more food rich in good cholesterol (HDL), it helps to clear the accumulations in the blood vessels.

5) exercising regularly is good. but the intensity is important too. if he doesn't mind vigorous exercise, then he should plan a weight loss training program like running 20 miles a week. every 2 pounds lost in weight will reduce the blood pressure by 1.

6) relaxation is important for hypertension. don't get over stress, don't get too anxious. there are many activities help people to relax their body and mind. eg. listening to music, taiji, yoga etc.

fighting high blood pressure is a long process. don't worry too much, else it will only worsen the situation.

Lifestyle changes may help control high blood pressure:

Lose weight if you are overweight. Excess weight adds to strain on the heart. In some cases, weight loss may be the only treatment needed. Exercise to help your heart. Adjust your diet as needed. Decrease fat and sodium — salt, MSG, and baking soda all contain sodium. Increase fruits, vegetables, and fiber.

Take Care and God Bless !
