My mother & step-father have HBP. They are both taking Omega-3 Fish Oil supplements. They have only taken it for a few weeks & said that their bp has significantly lowered.\n\nAlso things like caffeinated & alcholic drinks will raise bp. Take in moderation.\n\nAn old wives tale that I am not too sure about is vinegar. Take a teaspoon of vinegar a day. Yuck, but lots of people say that it works.\n\nPeace.\n\n:)

cut back the portion size of what you eat...stick to fruits, vegetables, whole grains, unsalted nuts.  Stay away from salt, saturated fats, sugars and alcohol.  Drink the recommended amount of water (the more you drink, the less fluid your body actually retains) and excercise at least 30 mins a day, 3 days a week, sustaining your heartrate above 130 bpm

Chili peppers are supposed to be good for high blood pressure because they help to dilate blood vessels. So enjoy!\n\nIf you are sensitive to salt, you have to be careful with mustard, because many commercially prepared mustards have a high sodium content. Look for a low-sodium variety and you should be okay. The mustard itself is not the problem, just the sodium.

Not necessarily, but it may require that you make some life altering changes to do so. For example, increased exercise is great for the blood pressure--and I mean stuff like walking, not die hard tae boe aerobics is necessary--also, a healthier diet will also help. your doctor can go over this with you more.

I believe the ONLY way to treat high blood pressure is to eat better (that is, healthier) while exercising. There are of course medications that a person might take, and for this, you would want to consult a doctor.\n\nBut may I offer a personal opinion? Although I am certainly not Tom Cruise when it comes to taking pills, I really urge you to change your lifestyle in dealing with this problem. High blood pressure seems to be affected by diet and exercise, and so it appears that the common-sense approach would be to change these aspects of your life (rather than popping a pill).\n\nPlease remember, if you eat everything in moderation, then this is a good guide to SLOWLY eating healthier alternatives while still remaining sane. After all, no one wants to give up chocolate cake!

Make a list of the things poor lifestyle has on heart/lungs, like strees,  smoking, lack of exercise, being overweight, eating the wrong foods that contribute towards high blood pressure.  Then write on each topic showing how, for example, giving up smoking will help breathing, thus aid exercise so bringing down the excess weight and help to bring down the high blood pressure....

If you are interested in a 100% natural whole food approach, I highly recommend ViaViente.  High blood pressure runs in my husband's family.  He tried dietary changes, high-cardio workouts, but nothing seemed to work.  He was getting prescribed medications but it didn't sit well with him that he is only 38 and would have to take hi BP meds.  So, his personal trainer/nutritionist and wife (who is a doctor), turned him on to ViaViente (which they recommend to all their clients/patients who are interested in natural approaches to combat nearly any health ailment imaginable).  After 3 weeks, his blood pressure went from 140+ to 117.  It has been 3 months now and it is at a stable 110.\n\nI know a network of trainers, nutritionists, doctors, physical therapists and herbalists who highly recommend this product.  It has also helped me with my lifelong allergy problem (I no longer take any meds) and my kids have not had a drop of Motrin or Tylenol since they've been drinking this juice (I used to feel like I was drugging my kids because they used to get sick so often).  My family loves it and we highly recommend it for preventative health, maintenance...your body just operates at an optimal level with ViaViente added to your diet.  4 ounces a day is equivalent to 20 servings of fruits and vegetables.\n\nYou are welcome to contact me directly and I can answer additional questions you may have.  I did quite a bit of research on the product and it's nearest competitors.

This is question to be replied by a medical practitioner. He would like to know more details as to his age, his habits like smoking, drinking, his physical activity, nature of job, job environment, family problems,heredetary factors etc, his body constitution,etc.\nHow do you measure his blood pressure. where did you measure it. how good is that measurement instrument.\nWhat made you to say the blood pressure is high.\nThere are medicines to reduce the blood pressure if medical intervention is considered necessary but remember once you start medication through out the life time it has to be continued and may dosage may vary but complete stoppage may not be advisable except in very rare cases and that too under strict medical supervision.\nReducing or completing avoiding SALT would bring down pressure dramatically and no medicine may even be necessary!!!\nDONT GO BY THE ADVISE YOU GET HERE BUT CONSULT A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. SELF MEDICATION IS NOT ADVISABLE.\nEVEN YOGA and PROPER WALKING EXERCISE ETC HELP BUT THATS ALL IN GENERAL AFTER FIRST YOU SEE A DOCTOR WITH YOUR HUSBAND.

Your first bet is to minimize the salt you eat.  Cook with less and eat with less. You salt intake has alot to do with your blood pressure. High blood pressure or Hypertension is caused by high levels of sodium. Cut down on your pork intake such as eliminating bacon and such.  \nKeep up with the recommended vitamin servings you should get a day\nGood Luck

Eat less salt. Read food labels carefully because sometimes there is a lot of hidden sodium in foods you would never expect. Go for a walk or exercise and be sure to take time to relax as well.

115/75 is lower than normal.  Most of us come in at 120/80.  That being said, 140/90 is only just over the normal rate.\n\nYou can eat more fibre, and lower fat foods.  You can stop consuming alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine, if you already use any of those.  You should drink more water.  You should get exercise every day - go for a 30 minute walk five or six days a week.  If you can do more intense activity than walking, then do that.\n\nThere are also lots of prescription medication you can take that will help lower your blood pressure, but if you don't work on improving your lifestyle, there's no point taking the medication.

Well...first of all, high blood pressure is defined as anything over 140/90 mmHg.  If you think that you have high blood pressure, then first thing to do is to go see a doctor.  He or she will take your blood pressure once more and if it is high (but not dangerously high), then most probably they will advise exercise, proper low fat low cholesterol diet and will also tell you to not get stressed out often.  Usually they try this for a couple of months and then tell you to come back at which time, they will check your blood pressure once more.  If it is still high, then they will start medication.  High blood pressure can be controlled at this stage with medication (either one or a combination of drugs), proper exercise, proper healthy diet and minimal stress.  Along with your cooperation, your doctor can combine drugs to achieve a satisfactory blood pressure reading over time.  There are always many options available.  Therefore, discuss with your doctor, and with your cooperation, both of you can get your bp under control, which is very essential since high blood pressure is one of the risk factors for heart attacks and strokes. Also, smoking is also associated with high blood pressure...so, if you're a smoker the first step would be to stop smoking.

For a 100% natural whole food approach, I highly recommend ViaViente.  After 3 weeks of adding it to his diet, my husband's blood pressure went from 140+ to 117.  It has been 3 months now and it is at a stable 110.  He is 38 years old and this is the first time in his life that his blood pressure has normalized (hi BP runs in his family)\n\nViaViente is the leading whole food health juice on the market, backed by independent 3rd party research and clinically proven to lower blood pressure by a randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial.  I highly recommend it.
