High Blood Pressure

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 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 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 a 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 the blood pressure and 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 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 holding your breath while lifting causes your 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.
