Tips to Prevent High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is often termed as a "silent killer". This is because almost 70% of the people who have it are not aware of the fact that they are suffering from it. Uninhibited blood pressure can lead to heart attack, stroke, and heart and kidney failure. Since there are no symptoms, the only way to detect whether you have this problem is to have it checked.
There are various precautionary measures that you can take to prevent high blood pressure from occurring. Here are a few tips that can come in very handy:
Losing weight:
If you are over weight or are on the heavier side, then you must think of losing some pounds. High blood pressure is directly proportional to the body mass. Hence, maintaining a normal weight is very important. Losing weight is not as difficult as people make it to be. One can easily get back into shape by cutting back on fatty foods and eating healthy. Quantity control is the key.
Remember, if you eat only that amount of calories that you can burn, you will never gain weight.
Cut back on sodium intake:
Sodium is notoriously known to increase blood pressure considerably. According to the doctors, you should not take more than 23, 00 Mg of sodium per day, which amounts to about one teaspoon daily. Make sure whenever you go out grocery shopping you only buy brands with less salt consistency. Moreover, cut back on fast food such as fries and burgers.
There are many healthy alternatives to sodium, try developing a taste for them instead of using salt.
Develop an exercise routine:
Lack of physical movement is the root cause of any disease. It makes the body organs slow and sluggish. A good regular workout can really help one prevent blood pressure. Make sure that you work out vigorously for at least thirty minutes each day. This will keep your heart and mind very healthy.
Reduce the intake of alcohol and stop smoking:
Bad habits such as excessive alcohol consumption or smoking can also lead to a high blood pressure. People who smoke or drink alcohol excessively are prone to all sorts of heart diseases such as stroke; arterial disease and cancer. Studies suggest that men should not have more than two pegs a day and women should not have more than one.
Take your medication regularly:
If you have been diagnosed with blood pressure then make sure you take your medication regularly. Missing medication can have grave effects on your health.
Lower High Blood Pressure Naturally
High blood pressure is one of the most common imbalances I see in my practice, with symptoms often increasing in the spring time and when clients experience stress.
Often times when people have high blood pressure, they may also be more prone to symptoms that go along with the energy pattern or "roots" associated with hypertension such as:
- Headaches at the top of the head or migraines.
- Red eyes.
- Irritability.
- Insomnia.
- Digestive upset.
- Joint, ligament or tendon issues.
To balance high blood pressure and other manifestations listed above, try adding foods to the diet with a cool energy property such as:
- Peppermint tea.
- Chamomile tea.
- Cucumbers.
- Dandelion greens (add just a touch to your usual salad greens or cooked green dishes).
Other foods that help to lower blood pressure include the root called burdock, often available in health food stores. This long brown root has powerful blood detoxifying effects and also can help to clear stagnation of the joints.
To prepare burdock, peel the brown layer and wash well. Slice the root into julienne strips and include in soups or stews and cook for thirty to forty minutes. Like anything natural, shifting blood pressure takes time but it can be done with diligent attention placed on diet and on reducing stress.
Also, if you are salt-sensitive (meaning your pressure rises when you increase your intake of salt), try the DASH diet which lowers blood pressure naturally. This diet emphasizes a low fat diet with lowered amounts of sodium. Most of my clients have had great success with lowering their blood pressure by at least 15 points when they followed this diet faithfully.
Qi emission healing and acupressure sessions with can also help reduce high blood pressure significantly. These types of healing sessions help to reduce stress and calm the flow of energy or qi within the liver and other internal organs that play a role in .
Also, qi gong movements and breath work have been used in clinical settings to reduce blood pressure naturally and to help individuals begin to limit dependence on blood pressure medications.
Aromatherapy can also be very helpful to reduce blood pressure. Essential oil blends that contain herbs that help to balance the energy of the liver such as lavender and chamomile can be very helpful.
