One Response to “need some tips to reduce high blood pressure?”
High blood pressure results from several reasons…. diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, lack of exercise, and a hereditary tendency toward it… (Black Americans are at higher risk than whites….). And high blood pressure is worse than any of them, because what it amounts to is as if you have a very thin hose with a very large amount of pressure against all of the arteries in your entire body. This in time results in kidney failure, blindness, stroke, and heart attack.
1. So, if you are overweight, loose it, by whatever it takes to get it off…. anything, hon, anything. Whatever your physical problems are, they are always worse if you are overweight… trust me.
2. If your cholesterol is high, there was a study done in Canada a few years ago using Steel Cut Oatmeal for breakfast (also called Scottish Oats, or Irish Oats. You will find them in the health food sections of your grocery store, or at Trader Joe’s.) The study was for six months, as I recall. Those who ate this every day for breakfast, lowered their cholesterol by 30 points!!!!! Add some walnuts, blue berries, and flax seed meal. Mine dropped 30 points in 6 weeks. Less than a cup is enough.
3. Often times, if you are borderline diabetic, with the reduction of weight, and cholesterol, your high blood pressure will lessen.
You did not state your sex, age, race nor weight, so I can’t be too much more specific than that.
If all of this is not your problem…. i.e., you are not overweight, you are active and exercise regularly, your cholesterol is within normal range, and you are not diabetic, then sweetie, you are stuck with blood pressure medicine.. and that is not a bad thing… It sure as heck beat stroking out. At any and all costs, you do not wish the conditions that result with chronic high blood pressure…..
