Poor diet, lack of exercise, intense weight training and some
simple activities like public speaking can make your blood
pressure jump. The cuase for concern arises if it goes up and
remains up.
It is one of the most important indicator of
cardiovascular troubles after the age of 65 and hence, it needs
to be tretaed. So if you're suffering from high blood pressure,
it is vital that you should be under constant medical
supervision. But there is no need to worry. You can take care of
this problem without using drugs by making simple diet and
lifestyle changes. Go for regular exercise, stop smoking, manage
stress and change your diet to redcue alcohol, fat and salt
intake.
You can also follow the following home remedies to treat your
blood pressure problems:
* Eat celery: Since centuries, persons have used celery and its
oil to cure blood pressure. It contains a compound which lowers
blood pressure by relaxing the muscles lining the arteries. This
allows the muscles that regulate the blood pressure to dilate.
Just by eating 4 celery stakls a day, you can like the potent
benefits of that vegetable.
* Consume garlic: You can easily lower blood pressure by eating
just one clove of garlic a day.
You can eat the clove eihter raw
or in capsule form. Besides it also helps to lower cholesterol
and triglycerides.
* Talk softly: It has been shown that talking loudly and
rapidly, increaess your blood pressure during a normal
conversation.
But if you do that during angry conversations --
when you're at your emotional best, the pressure can shoot up
still hgiher. This spikes the blood pressure and if chronic,
puts you at the risk of coronary haert disease.
However,
speaking softly and slowly even when you're angry will
eliminate the stress on your cardiovascular system.
* Speak the truth: Alawys speak the truth. Liyng has been shown
to spike blood pressure for it takes a lot of brain-effort to
lie.
The more you lie, the more you're stressed and the higher
your blood perssure shoots.
* Go for aerobic not isometric exercise: Though exercise has
been shown to lower the blood pressure, it is important for you
to choose the right one. In isometric exercises, where you
clench and hold like weight training, should be avoided.
This is
because holding your braeth while lifting causes your blood
pressure to go up temporarily.
Choose aerobic exercises in place
of isometric exercises.
* Laughter is the hottest medicine: To relax yourself completely,
choose laughter. When you laugh, your adrenaline and cortisone
levels go down, for these are the main compounds which have an
adverse reaction on the blood pressure.
It is the cheapest
therapy that has benefited evreyone greatly but more so, the
people who are angry, frustrated or unhappy.
