Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the
arteries as the heart pumps out blood. High blood pressure means
raising pressure in your heart and staying high over time, damaging the
body in many ways. High blood pressure or arterial hypertension is
almost never a serious health threat. However, doctors attempt to lower
it in their patients because it can have serious long-term consequences.
Since general approaches and supplements have provided us with many
clues in controlling high blood pressure. We can control it with natural
foods.
1. Celery
If you are asking advice from your doctor about high blood pressure,
chances are he will tell you to take 4 stalks of celery daily. Study
shows that celery contains a chemical called limonene that acts as a
mild tranquilizer that can lower levels of stress hormones in your
blood. This allows your blood vessels to expand, giving your blood more
room and reducing pressure.
2. Red tea
Red tea has flavonoids, which have been proven effective in treating assorted skin and circulation problems.
3.Fresh water algae or dark green vegetable
Fresh water algae contains a high amount of chlorophyll. Study shows
that regular use of chlorella reduces high blood pressure and prevents
strokes. When chlorella has been used consistently over a period of
months, the low pressure often increases to normal.
4. Avocado
Avocados are a good source of potassium, a mineral that helps
regulate blood pressure. Adequate intake of potassium can help to guard
against circulatory diseases like heart disease or stroke.
5. Whole grain
Whole grains which provide all edible parts of the grain include
whole-grain corn, oats, popcorn, brown rice, whole rye, etc. Study shows
that eating just one daily serving of whole grains may help prevent
high blood pressure - and more servings could slash your risk even
further.
6. Cold water fish
Cold-water fish like wild Alaskan salmon and sardines which are rich
in omega-3 fatty acids that has been proven record of lowering
cholesterol levels and increasing blood circulation in your body, and
subsequently reducing high blood pressure. Take fish-oil supplements if
you cannot get enough omega-3-rich foods.
7. Gracefruit and beet juice
The effect was traced to nitrate in the gracefruit and beet juice
that reacted with bacteria in the mouth. This led to chemical changes
which resulted in blood vessels dilating to increase blood flow and
reducing blood pressure.
Foods help to control high blood pressure
also have the function of lowering cholesterol level as well as
increase circulation of blood in the body, therefore it reduces the risk
of heart disease and stroke.
