Hypertension, most commonly referred to as "high blood pressure", HTN or HPN, is a medical condition in which the blood pressure is chronically elevated. It was previously referred to as arterial hypertension, but in current usage, the word "hypertension" without a qualifier normally refers to arterial hypertension.

Natural Blood Pressure Control Diet

0 comments

One of the most important but often most overlooked natural high blood pressure remedies is our diet. Eating the right kind of foods is a very effective natural blood pressure control method in the prevention of high blood pressure but also in the prevention of other health risk issues such as heart disease, diabetes, etc. Here are the basics of a diet plan known as the DASH diet.

DASH which stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension is said to be able to lower a persons blood pressure by a few points in just two weeks. The DASH diets main focus is on lowering blood pressure naturally and keeping it under control so that it is possible that overtime a persons blood pressure could actually drop by as much as eight to fourteen points. If this is something that you find as impressive as I do then please read on. This type of diet is high in protein, fiber and healthy nutrients and also low in sodium, cholesterol, saturated fat, and total fat. The foods that it consists of are mostly fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy products, lots of whole grains, fish, poultry, and beans. You are also allowed to eat red meats, some fats and sweets in smaller amounts or proportions than what you probably now normally eat.

Being given this sort of variety to choose from a person should be able to create menus that are nutritious as well as avoid the boredom of having to eat the same thing over and over again. Sounds like a win-win situation to me. Switching to a more natural diet to lower blood pressure naturally is a very good idea but often people seeking healthier lifestyles try to change too much at once too fast. The best advice is to do it gradually, a little bit at a time and to just sort of ease into it by changing one or two things at a time. If you think that this diet might be right for you then give it a try and I wish you good luck with it.
