			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once a detailed study about the syndrome was done, doctors considered it a disease. Chronic fatigue syndrome was not considered to be a disease at all as physicians kept on avoiding it by naming it as an intuition.</p>
<p>CFS affects over a million people, most of them women. Although, doctors admit that men tend to seek treatment less for the condition less than women. CFS affects all ages and race groups.</p>
<p>CFS is often times misunderstood by by the public and even many doctors. If they give the condition any credibility at all, it&#8217;s generally to diagnose it as another condition. CFS in teens and children is a rare occurance and these groups report that they have the most difficulty in gaining understanding from their doctors, peers and parents.<span id="more-1138"></span></p>
<p>CFS is not so easy to diagnose because it has no clear symptoms. The two important criteria under which the syndrome can be identified are the PSYCHOLOGICAL &amp; PHYSIOLOGICAL states. This study goes in depth to know about the psychological aspect.</p>
<p>CFS has similar causes as those of the conditions of Psychological disorders and so it becomes very difficult to treat it. The common identifications found are Mental Agony,manic depressive disorder, Disorders relating to perception of mind,drug and alcohol usage and a conditon denoting anxiety, mental stress, fatigue.</p>
<p>Common treatments include: anti-anxiety medicines, anti-depressants, cognitive behavior therapy and light exercise (too much exercise could actually exacerbate this condition).</p>
<p>The people affected by this disease claim that building connections across the web is the only solution to make everyone identify it. In addition to this, this is also an easy way to get updates of diagnosing it.</p>
<p>Taking deep breaths and special treatment for relaxing will produce positive results which is very effective.</p>
<p>As stress causes CFS, High Blood Pressure program can be taken as a wise choice to overcome it. In a very natural way the program has been structured to keep the blood pressure in correct range regardless of the fact whether we have it or not.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I literally fainted when I heard the words heart attack and stroke. Actually this was due to a commercial for the medicine that treats hypertension.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t even tell you how many people I hear from due to this very concern. They have turned to my natural High Blood Pressure Program to avoid these side effects and more.</p>
<p>They even go so far as to share the exact names of the drugs they have been prescribed. I am pretty familiar with most of these, but the research still seems to open my eyes over and over.</p>
<p>Problem is normally considered blood pressure elevated beyond 140 over 90.</p>
<p>It can affect heart, eyes, kidney and brain. This will cause various problems to these organs.</p>
<p>Additional problems can include blindness, sleeplessness and erectile dysfunction. One problem with this though is that the symptoms may not be present or noticeable.<span id="more-1136"></span></p>
<p>It can be confirmed only by inspecting our blood pressure. A few knew that the indications of blood pressure are smeared eye sight, excess sweating, cold and headache.</p>
<p>Remember that one single reading is not a good indicator. It needs to be checked regularly.</p>
<p>The possible side effects of using the drugs should be told to the patients before they use it. ACE Inhibitors, Beta Blockers, Calcium Channel Blockers and Diuretics are the four drugs that I am going to explain my experience on this day.</p>
<p>Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors help blood vessels relax by blocking the production of angiotensin II. Some commonly prescribed ACE inhibitors include: benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril),quinapril (Accupril, Mavik) and ramipril (Altace).</p>
<p>Long term coughing, pain in head, pain in heart and sometimes it even affects kidney these are the possible side effects of these drugs.</p>
<p>Some Beta Blockers are acebutolol (Sectral), atenolol (Tenormin), carvedilol (Coreg), metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL), nadolol (Corgard) and penbutolol (Levatol). Nerve signals to the heart are reduced, which slows the heart beat. That in turn lowers the blood pressure.</p>
<p>Side effects include: fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, impotence, depression, memory loss and even hallucinations.</p>
<p>Some of the beta blockers are amlodipine (Norvasc), diltiazem (Cardizem, Dilacor XR) felodipine (Plendil), nicardipine (Cardene), nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia), and verapamil (Calan, Covera, Isoptin, Verelan). Calcium Channel Blockers are the medicine that stops calcium from entering the heart and other blood vessels. It also brings down blood pressure and squeezes the blood vessels.</p>
<p>Side effects include: nausea, heartburn, shortness of breath, trouble swallowing, dizziness, sexual dysfunction, and in some cases, stroke and heart attack. Hey! I thought they were supposed to help prevent stroke and heart attacks!</p>
<p>The body loses water content and sodium that brings down the blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide, furoseminde and chlorthalidone were widely found. The increase in urine output will be the last stage.</p>
<p>Unevenness in ion content, Unable to make sex, growth of lactic glands in men, high blood glucose level and unclear vision were the side effects of the drugs.</p>
<p>It is better to reduce your hypertension medicine gradually.</p>
<p>You can reduce your levels using my natural high blood pressure program. Your physician may be little reluctant in accepting this first, but you can show your normal levels for proof.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It might seem like an obvious question, but many people do not take the time to ask why is high blood pressure dangerous? People have this general idea about their blood pressure and that it can lead to harm and danger, but people don&#8217;t know exactly what it does. Additionally, people operate under the assumption that because so many people have it that it&#8217;s not really serious. Unfortunately, this could not be farther from the truth. If you&#8217;ve never taken the time to ask or find out the answer to the question of why is high blood pressure dangerous, take a quick look at these harrowing consequences.</p>
<p>The answers for why is high blood pressure dangerous can be shocking if you weren&#8217;t expecting them. The ultimate consequence can be death. Yes, high blood pressure can kill you. It does this in several different ways, such as by greatly increasing your risk of heart attack and stroke. This is because your arteries become thickened and can become clogged or blocked. Once this happens, heart attacks and strokes can unfortunately be just around the corner.</p>
<p> <span id="more-1083"></span>
</p>
<p>Your heart will also struggle under the increased pressure and workload and can eventually just outright fail. Other important organs such as your kidney can become weakened and fail as well. Blood vessels in your brain can become blocked or ruptured, aneurysms can occur as blood vessels weaken and bulge, and much more.</p>
<p>You also might be wondering about what causes high blood pressure. Causes are very diverse, and can be different from person to person. In some cases it can be entirely genetic. In other instances it&#8217;s a direct result of diet, such as having too much sodium. Sometimes it&#8217;s a side effect of obesity, and the poor diet that accompanies that as well. Often times causes are not entirely understood, and of course they can all combine together.</p>
<p>Finally, it&#8217;s also important to know what the danger zone is for high blood pressure problems. Hypertension is generally recognized as blood pressure higher than 140/90. Lower than 120/80 is considered healthy, so therefore anything in between those two figures is considered that danger zone. Unfortunately there are not many warning signs when you reach this level. This is why you have to be checked out by your doctor regularly, so you can catch problems even without warning signs before it&#8217;s too late.</p>
<p>So <a href="http://www.highbloodpressurehelp.net/why-is-high-blood-pressure-dangerous.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow">why is high blood pressure dangerous</a>? Because it can and in most cases will eventually kill you if it&#8217;s left unchecked and gets bad enough. It can cause heart attacks and strokes, or lead to failure of your heart, aneurysms, other organ failures and much more. If you want to mitigate all of these risks, start improving the way that you live day to day as soon as possible. It&#8217;s never too late to change and blood pressure can be improved greatly in a short amount of time once you start to implement changes and solutions.</p>

<p>High blood pressure (hypertension) is one of the most common diseases affecting the western world. High blood pressure is usually symptomless whilst slowly damaging the eyes, brain, and kidneys. Many governments have initiated policies to raise public awareness. The aim of this article is to give the person suffering (or who may be suffering) hypertension some knowledge about the condition enabling them to make objective decisions regarding their treatment.</p>
<p>High blood pressure appears not to have a clear-cut cause. It is more common in people who smoke, drink excessive alcohol, are overweight, and are sedentary. However, non-smoking teetotal athletes can suffer from hypertension. Certain ethnic groups have a very high incidence of high blood pressure, with research not revealing any reasons for this.</p>
<p><b>Drugs (Pharmaceuticals) To Treat High Blood Pressure</b></p>
<p><b>ACE (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme) Inhibitirs:</b> enalapril maleate, captopril, quinapril, lisinopril, amongst others. <b><i>Function:</i></b> to block an enzyme in the bloodstream that produces angiotensin II, a chemical that raises blood pressure by constricting blood vessels. <b><i>Side effects:</i></b> long-term cough, acute swelling of face, lips, and throat.</p>
<p> <span id="more-1043"></span>
</p>
<p><b>Angiotensin II Blockers:</b> candesartan, irbesartan, losartan potassium, valasartan. <b><i>Function:</i></b> to block the effect of angiotensin. <b><i>Side effects:</i></b> are rare.</p>
<p><b>Alpha Blockers:</b> clonidine, prasozin, doxazosin, terazosin. <b><i>Function:</i></b> to chemically block responses to stressors that causeraised blood pressure and heartrate. <b><i>Side effects:</i></b> dry mouth, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, impaired sexual function. Alpha blockers can precipitate dramatic increase in blood pressure treatment if suddenly discontinued.</p>
<p><b>Beta Blockers:</b> propranolol, betaxolol, carvedilol, atenolol, metoprolol, labetolol. <b><i>Function:</i></b> to block chemical processes that lead to increased heart pressure and heartrate. Often given after a heart attack. <b><i>Side effects:</i></b> tiredness, excessively slow heartrate, impaired sexual functioning. Beta blockers can precipitate dramatic increase in blood pressure if suddenly discontinued.</p>
<p><b>Calcium-Channel Blockers:</b> amolodipine besylate, diltiazem, verapamil, nifedipine. <b><i>Function:</i></b> to relax blood vessel walls to make them dilate (expand), lowering blood pressure. <b><i>Side effects:</i></b> are constipation, dizziness,nausea, fluid retention.</p>
<p><b>Diuretics:</b> bendrofluazide, bumetanide, cyclopenthiazide, frusemide, hydrochlorothiazide, indapamide, metolazone, mefruside. <b><i>Function:</i></b> is to stimulate kidneys to excrete more salt and water, lowering blood volume and blood pressure. <b><i>Side effects:</i></b> are low levels of potassium and magnesium, elevations in uric acid, increases in blood cholesterol.</p>
<p><b>Hypertension Friendly Lifestyle</b></p>
<p>Hypertension has been shown to be related to many causes. So a change in lifestyle, other than one single thing, often helps someone lower their blood pressure. Three things that research throws up again and again is that people who drink to excess, smoke and are overweight are at a much higher risk of developing high blood pressure. If you eat fewer calories yo will soon start to lose weight, just don&#8217;t expect to be as thin as Lance Armstrong in two weeks! For the heavy drinker cutting down on alcohol consumption can have many benefits, it will help lower your blood pressure, it will help you lose weight, and it will save you a fortune. Smoking has, for many decades, been known to be generally bad for health. The reason it raises blood pressure is that it causes a constriction (narrowing) of the arteries. If you really can&#8217;t stop smoking, at least cut down. Research indicates that eating &#8216;empty&#8217; calories (refined carbohydrates, sugar, sugary drinks,&#8217;junk&#8217; food) can be a cause of high blood pressure and contribute to being overweight. Try eating high-fiber foods such as whole grains and raw vegetables. Fibre makes you feel full, so in turn you may actually eat less and lose weight. Eating deep-sea (cold water) fish rich in essential fatty acids (EFA&#8217;s) such as mackeral, cod tuna, and salmon have been shown to help with blood pressure. It is thought that the omega-3 fatty acid in these relax artery walls and make blood thinner. Eat foods rich in magnesium, potassium, and calcium such as nuts and seeds, green leafy vegetables, whole grains, legumes, amongst others. One area that every professional agrees upon is that engaging in regular aerobic exercise for 30 minutes 3 times per week will help lower blood pressure.</p>
<p><b>Natural Remedies To Treat High Blood Pressure</b></p>
<p><b>Dandelion:</b> <i>Taraxacum officinale:</i> is a popular remedy for fluid retention. By increasing urine flow dandelion also helps lower blood pressure. Dandelion benefits from not causing potassium loss, which pharmaceutical diuretics usually do. Make sure that if you use dandelion leaves that they have not been treated with pesticides.</p>
<p><b>Garlic:</b> <i>Allium sativum:</i> has been used for 1,000&#8242;s of years for many conditions. To get the best from garlic, 3 cloves should be eaten raw everyday. The same effect can be achieved by taking garlic gel capsules.</p>
<p><b>Reishi:</b> <i>Ganoderma lucidum:</i> is a mushroom. Scientific studies have shown that reishi lowers blood pressure. The mushroom itself is nearly inedible and is usually taken in capsule form.</p>
<p><b>Hawthorn:</b> <i>Crataegus spp:</i> lowers blood pressure by relaxing and dilating artery walls. Hawthorn can take many weeks or months to show any effect.</p>
<p><b>Hypercet:</b> is a proprietary blend of many natural ingredients including the following active ingredients. <b>Calcium</b> A recent article by Christopher Ott describes the many ways calcium protects your health, including the role it plays in protecting your heart.</p>
<p>Gene Spiller, PhD, the Director of the Health Research and Studies Center says, &quot;In fact, your calcium intake may be almost as important to blood pressure as your sodium intake,&quot; He is co-author of Calcium: Nature&#8217;s Versatile Mineral (Avery, 2000)</p>
<p>Spiller also said, &quot;An adequate supply of calcium helps muscles-including your heart muscle-do their work of contracting and relaxing. Calcium also appears to help your nervous system regulate the level of pressure in your arteries.&quot;</p>
<p>Calcium is a naturally occurring mineral with no known side effects. <b>     <br />Magnesium</b> is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body, and is essential to good health.</p>
<p>A diet high in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, whole grains, nuts, and some legumes supplies magnesium. Tap water can be a good source, if the water is &quot;hard.&quot; &quot;Soft&quot; water contains fewer minerals.</p>
<p><b>Magnesium</b> is a naturally occurring mineral with no known side effects</p>
<p><b>Malic Acid</b>     <br />&quot;An apple a day keeps the doctor away.&quot; There&#8217;s more truth in that old saying than you might think. Malic acid is derived from tart apples and grapes, and is an essential part of the magnesium support team.</p>
<p>Malic acid is an important part of the Krebs cycle, a series of chemical reactions carried out in the living cell, and is used by the body to increase ATP, an enzyme that supports muscle health, reduces muscle stress, and assists to improve energy levels in the body. Malic Acid is a naturally occurring substance with no known side effects.</p>
<p><b>Citric acid</b>, although acid in its fresh form (lemon and limes) transforms during metabolism into alkali. This is helpful to your blood. Our American diet tends to be overly acidic from coffee, sodas, alcohol, and certain proteins. An acidic condition tends to be more inflammatory. Citric acid is essential to the Krebs cycle, Citric acid, together with malic acid, are involved with complex chemical actions, resulting in the production of carbon dioxide, and its removal from the cells. Citric acid is also used as a natural preservative to maintain freshness of many products, and serves this role, as well, in the Hypercet BPF. Citric Acid is a naturally occurring substance with no known side effects.</p>
<p><b>Glycine</b> is a non-essential amino acid found naturally in beans, brewer&#8217;s yeast, dairy products, meat, seafood, nuts and whole grains. It&#8217;s involved in the production of glucose in the liver. Glycine is plays an important role in supporting healthy blood in your body. It is involved in the manufacture of nitrogen to process many other amino acids, and usefulin the processing of hemoglobin, glutathione, DNA, and RNA. It helps with brain function, and is important for a healthy prostate gland. Glycine is a naturally occurring substance with no known side effects.</p>
<p>It has been shown that there can be many causes of high blood pressure, not just one. Treatment is similar in that a lifestyle switch is usually better than a pharmaceutical cure. For the non-smoking, teetotal athlete who suffers hypertension the pharmaceutical may be the only way left open. For the rest of us who may be a little overweight, drink a little too much (I include myself in this group!), or smoke, have options available. Take some natural remedies, take a little more exercise, eat a little healthier, cut back on the cigarettes, and cut back on the booze. Try to change one thing at a time, within a few months your lifestyle could be dramatically more blood pressure friendly.</p>
<p>The reader who suffers with high blood pressure should now have some more knowledge about their condition and the different therapies available to them, enabling them to make objective choices in their own treatment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve been diagnosed with high blood pressure you already understand the importance of maintaining a healthy weight and limiting your salt intake. Your doctor has explained the benefits of regular exercise, stress reduction and prescription medications. But your doctor may not have counseled you about the role of dietary fiber in a low-blood pressure regimen. Here&#8217;s what you need to know about high blood pressure and dietary fiber.</p>
<p>WHAT IS FIBER, ANYWAY?</p>
<p> <span id="more-1041"></span>
</p>
<p>Fiber is simply the un-digestible cellulose of the plant foods you eat every day. Nutritionists classify fiber as either &quot;soluble&quot; or &quot;insoluble&quot; and both types are helpful when it comes to managing high blood pressure. Not only do fiber-rich fruits and vegetables tend to be lower in saturated fats than meat-based foods; they can also help you feel full faster. You may actually find that you eat less of the high-fat foods you may crave.</p>
<p>But fiber does more than just help you with portion control or help you feel full after a meal. A 2007 study found that people who adopt a diet rich in dietary fiber tend to have larger, more open arteries than people who eat diets lower in fiber.</p>
<p>Perhaps the best news is that the fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber are usually also good sources of nutrients like omega fatty acids, folate and other heart-protective substances.</p>
<p>HOW MUCH FIBER SHOULD YOU EAT?</p>
<p>The American Dietetic Association recommends that Americans interested in the heart-protective actions of fiber consume more than 20 grams of dietary fiber per day. That&#8217;s about twice as much as the typical American diet provides.</p>
<p>To get more fiber in your diet, try to consume at least 2 cups of fruit per day and more than 2 cups of vegetables. Snacks like air-popped corn, nuts and whole-grain cereals can also add a substantial amount of fiber to your diet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re over 40 and you can sit on the floor, reach for your toes and get your fingers past them, some new research suggests this is a sign that your artery and veins are flexible.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s an unusual suggestion &#8211; how flexible you are on the outside as a way to tell how flexible you are on the inside, but this is precisely what the team of Japanese researchers uncovered.</p>
<p>Arteries are known to naturally stiffen as we age, long recognized as a forerunner of dangerous cardiovascular disease.</p>
<p>&quot;Our findings have potentially important clinical implications because trunk flexibility can be easily evaluated,&quot; points out study co-author Kenta Yamamoto of the University of North Texas and the National Institute of Health and Nutrition in Japan. &quot;This simple test might help to prevent age-related arterial stiffening.&quot;</p>
<p> <span id="more-1016"></span>
</p>
<p>In the study, 526 adults, nonsmokers who were not considered obese, between the ages of 20 to 83 took part in the sit-and-reach test described above. The team measured how far each of the subjects could reach, classifying them as either poor or high flexibility.</p>
<p>Blood pressure readings, as well as other measurements of cardiovascular health were taken, and participants were tested for cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength and endurance. The participants were divided, by age, into young, middle and older groups.</p>
<p>The team found that trunk flexibility did appear to be a good predictor of artery stiffness for the middle aged and older group, not so for the young. The systolic blood pressure (top number, when heart is beating) was higher in poor flexibility subjects.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not clear if there is a direct, cause-and-effect relationship between being more flexible and having less stiffness in the arteries. The researchers do cite another recent study that found regular stretching exercises in middle age and older adulthood significantly improved the flexibility of the carotids, major arteries found in the neck.</p>
<p>Healthy blood vessels are supposed to be elastic, flexible, therefore helping to moderate blood pressure. Earlier research has shown that being physically fit as you get older can hold off age-related arterial stiffness, though how this works is still a mystery.</p>
<p>One theory to explain why flexibility would be linked to the stiffness of the arteries is that stretching exercises may set off physical reactions that slow down the natural stiffening of the arteries so typical of aging.</p>
<p>&quot;Together with our results, these findings suggest a possibility that improving flexibility induced by the stretching exercise may be capable of modifying age-related arterial stiffening in middle-aged and older adults,&quot; says Dr. Yamamoto. &quot;We believe that flexibility exercise, such as stretching, yoga and Pilates, should be integrated as a new recommendation into the known cardiovascular benefits of regular exercise.&quot;</p>
<p>The findings appear in the October issue of the American Journal of Physiology &#8211; Heart and Circulatory Physiology. Future work will be needed to affirm that there may be a cause and effect relationship between flexibility and artery and veins stiffness. Until we know more, consider the benefits of adding stretching exercises, yoga or Pilates to your fitness routine (with your doctor&#8217;s okay, of course) and see how you feel. It can&#8217;t hurt, and may help more than you know.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If you could find really effective natural remedies for high blood pressure that would significantly lower your high blood pressure, would you use them? You may be surprised that you have never heard of chelation. Find out why chelation can be very effective on the path to lower high blood pressure.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you know the secret of chelation that helps lower high blood pressure?</p>
<p>Or if you&#8217;ve heard of chelation you may have felt you couldn&#8217;t afford it or there was no doctor nearby to administer it to you.</p>
<p>Now those worries can fly away because I have great news for you. Chelation at home has become a reality that&#8217;s very affordable. Would you go for it:</p>
<p>If it only took 2 minutes every other day of your time, would you try it?</p>
<p>If this Magic Bullet could help prevent disease, even cancer, would you use it?</p>
<p>If it saved you money and lost time in the long run, would you buy it?</p>
<p>If it prevented more pain and disability, would you embrace it?</p>
<p> <span id="more-1006"></span>
<p>If it staved off a heart attack or a stroke, would you utilize it to lower high blood pressure? If you&#8217;re not saying, &quot;Sure I want it, you must be crazy.&quot;</p>
<p>But why should you go for it?</p>
<p>Good question. Most doctors don&#8217;t even recognize the reason that chelation can be utilized to effectively lower high blood pressure and is a great addition to the natural remedies for high blood pressure.</p>
<p>Chelation works to remove toxic metals from the tissues where they lingered for years. Cadmium, lead and nickel in your tissues can greatly affect the development of high blood pressure. Getting rid of those poisons helps lower high blood pressure.</p>
<p>Now you&#8217;re asking, but where did those toxic metals come from?</p>
<p>Most folks don&#8217;t realize how much they&#8217;ve been exposed to toxic metals in air, water and food. The toxicology books declare that our environment is polluted. Are you old enough to have breathed the residues of leaded gasoline? That lead in the air wound up in your body by breathing it in. Then it settled in the soil where it had entrance into your water and food supplies.</p>
<p>Have you ever smoked or lived with a smoker or worked where a lot of cigarette smoke hung in the air?</p>
<p>If so you&#8217;ve been exposed to and probably accumulated toxic cadmium, lead, nickel and very toxic chemicals. Smokers should definitely consider chelation, but only after they stop smoking! It doesn&#8217;t make sense to draw toxins out of one end and dump them in via the other end.</p>
<p>Smoking, diabetes and toxic metal poisoning are all associated with hardening of the arteries too, a disease that often accompanies high blood pressure. The popularity of chelation for reversing hardening of the arteries began years ago after doctors used it to treat workers who had been poisoned by lead in their work place.</p>
<p>About three months after their series of chelation treatments, they reported back to their doctors saying they could walk without pain now, a reversal of PAD (peripheral arterial disease), their chest pain and shortness of breath had gone away and sure enough they had lower high blood pressure (or normal blood pressure).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dr-jo-md.com/chelation.html" target="_new">Dr. Tillman</a> offers practical information and advice for regaining or maintaining optimal health. She has coached thousands of people to higher levels of health in her 36 years as an MD, including 25 years in integrative and natural medicine and administering EDTA as <a href="http://www.dr-jo-md.com/chelation.html" target="_new">chelation therapy</a> for hundreds of grateful patients.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hypertension is a very common problem. It is estimated that about 25% of adults suffer from <strong>high blood pressure</strong> and 30% of them don&#8217;t even know it. Hypertension is known as a silent killer, because it usually doesn&#8217;t give early warning signs.</p>
<p>This condition is associated with heart attacks, strokes and kidney problems.</p>
<p>It can also affect the blood vessels of the eyes and impair vision or even lead to blindness. Unfortunately, the symptoms appear in advanced stages when it&#8217;s quite late. When the symptoms do occur, they usually include dizziness, headaches and nosebleeds.</p>
<p>If you are trying to lower your blood pressure using natural ways, then you will find the following tips very helpful:</p>
<p> <span id="more-731"></span>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Try to maintain a normal weight: being overweight is a major risk factor, because excess body fat leads to hypertension. If you lose 20 pounds, it can cause a reduction of 5-20 mm Hg. Indeed, for every pound you lose you can reduce systolic pressure by at least 1 mm Hg. </li>
<li>Reduce your caffeine intake: drinking about 1 cup of coffee per day is generally safe. However, studies show that consuming more than 300 mg of caffeine daily (2-3 cups) can have a negative impact. </li>
<li>Eat a lot of garlic: for this to work, you need rather high dosages of garlic, so it would be a good idea to take a supplement. </li>
<li>Drink a little red wine: moderate consumption of alcohol (1 drink for women and 2 drinks per day for men) can have beneficial effects. </li>
<li>Eliminate salt from your diet: most people consume more salt than they actually need. In fact, according to the estimates, the average salt intake in the population is more than 10 grams per day. The daily recommended intake is about 5 grams. Reducing your salt intake to less than 3 grams per day, can decrease systolic blood pressure by 4 mm Hg and diastolic by 2 mm Hg in hypertensive patients. </li>
<li>Change your diet: try to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat foods low in fat, like low-fat yogurt and milk with 0% fat or 1% fat. Choose lean meat, fish, chicken and turkey without skin. Eat more oranges. There is a myth that oranges lead to hypertension, but exactly the opposite is true. Oranges contain a lot of potassium and clinical studies have shown that potassium is very effective in treating this condition. </li>
<li>Avoid noisy places: a new Swedish scientific study shows that people who live near noisy roads tend to have high blood pressure. </li>
</ul>
