Natural Hypertension Treatment

Your natural hypertension treatment can be found here. High blood pressure is known as the silent killer as it has no symptoms. You can have it for years without knowing it. It’s normal for blood pressure to go up and down throughout the day, but if it stays up, it is called high blood pressure or hypertension. It is possible to lower blood pressure naturally.

Blood pressure is the most important factor to determine if you are aging well or not! It is more important than cholesterol, weight and heart rate. Hypertension can take as many as 10 years off of your life.

High blood pressure strains and weakens the heart. It damages the kidneys and also damages the artery walls, causing scarring that fills up with cholesterol and plaque.This can lead to heart disease, heart attack and stroke. 

Blood pressure should be 120 over 80 or lower. 140 or more, over 90 or more is not good. The first number is the systolic blood pressure. This is the peak blood pressure when your heart is squeezing blood out. The second number is the diastolic blood pressure. It's the pressure when your heart is filling with blood - relaxing between beats.

What factors contribute to high blood pressure?

• Overweight/obesity – blood pressure rises as body weight increases
• Salt – all packaged foods contain a lot of salt, as do many over the counter painkillers
• Poor diet
• Alcohol
• Birth control pills
• Lack of exercise
• Drugs, such as amphetamines, some pills used for cold and allergy symptoms and diet pills

What you need to do for your hypertension treatment:

Reduce and better manage stress Eliminate table salt and everything that contains it, if you need to add salt use sun dried sea salt Use a little cayenne pepper instead of black pepper Drink hot water with lemon especially in the morning before eating Exercise is very important, 20 minutes per day or more Eat a healthy diet Choose heart healthy recipes More info about a healthy circulatory system

• 9 times out of 10, losing weight helps lower high blood pressure naturally
• Replace wheat by brown rice
• Limit alcohol intake
• Eliminate coffee, 2 coffees per day increases blood pressure by 15%
• Check the liver and the kidneys and make sure they are functioning well. Sometimes the liver might be overworked and a cleansing could help
• Check your calcium levels, if you need or are taking a supplement make sure it is chelated calcium or calcium citrate and not calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is a kind of calcium that the body can not absorb, so it forms calcium deposits in the body.
• If you are taking medication for high cholesterol, these could be robbing the body of calcium and Complex B vitamins. Make sure you replace them with a high quality source.

Those taking insulin should consult a physician before taking a probiotic or any supplement.

Help for swelling of feet and ankles

Submitted by Genvieve

Is there something I can do for my feet and ankles that swell, also what can I do for high blood pressure?

Sue-Anne's Reply:
The best thing to do for swelling ankles and feet is to drink more water. Pure water will help to flush the body, it may sound counter-intuitive, however it does work.

The second thing to do which will also help your high blood pressure is to stop eating any processed or packaged foods that contain salt. Use sun dried sea salt in anything you eat that needs salt. it is natural and good for high blood pressure.
