Poor diet, lack of exercise, intense weight training and some
simple activities like public speaking can make your blood
pressure jump. The cause for concern arises if it goes up and
remains up. It is one of the most important indicator or
cardiovascular problems after the age of 65 and hence needed to
be treated. So if you are 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
diet to reduce alcohol, fat and salt intake.
You can also follow the following home remedies to treat your
blood pressure problems:
* Eat celery: Since centuries, people have used celery and its
oil to cure blood pressure. It contains a compound which lowers
the 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 stalks a day, you can enjoy the
potent benefits of this vegetable. * Consume garlic: You can
easily lower blood pressure by eating just one clove of garlic a
day. You can eat the clove either 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
increases your blood pressure during the normal conversation.
But if you do this during angry conversations when you are at
your emotional best, the pressure can shoot up still higher.
This spikes in the blood pressure if chronic, puts you at the
risk of coronary heart disease. However, speaking softly and
slowly even when you are angry will eliminate the stress on your
cardiovascular system. * Speak the truth: Always speak the
truth. Lying has been shown to spike the blood pressure since it
takes a lot of brain effort to lie. The more you lie, the more
you are stressed and the higher your blood pressure 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
when you hold your breath while lifting will cause the blood
pressure to go up temporarily. Choose aerobic exercises in place
of isometric exercises. * Laughter is the best medicine: To
relax yourself completely, choose laughter. When you laugh, your
adrenaline and cortisone levels go down, since these are the
main compounds which have an adverse reaction on the blood
pressure. It is the cheapest therapy that has benefited everyone
greatly but more so the people who are angry, frustrated or
unhappy.
