_Foods to Lower Blood Pressure_
The truth is we all want to find alternatives to high blood pressure medications such as diets, exercises or special foods to lower blood pressure.
The side effects that we experience can be worse than the actual high blood pressure problem itself. Too many of us become non-compliant with the medications we are prescribed.
As a result, we live with uncontrolled hypertension which is also dangerous. So what do we do if we want to lower and control our hypertension and yet be drug-free?
What we need to do is find solid alternatives to the problem. So today we look at different foods to help lower blood pressure.
*Juicing* is also a very effective way to control blood pressure. When I am talking about juice ```I am not talking about commercially processed juices```. These juices generally contain to much sugar and sodium, and are not advisable.
The best juices to drink are the ones you can make at home. Example of fruits that can be used for juices and can be purchased in your local foods stores are pomegranate, beet root and cranberry.
Recent studies have found that as little as *2 ounces of pomegranate juice* a day lowers high blood pressure, improves cholesterol, and even decreases plaques in your arteries.
One glass of beetroot juice a day is enough to significantly reduce blood pressure in patients with high blood pressure. Drinking 250ml beetroot juice a day can lower BP better than some anti-hypertensive drugs.
*Water*
I know water isn’t a juice. But if you are trying to lower your blood pressure here are some things you should know.
Drinking adequate amounts of water is, quite simply, one of the healthiest, cheapest, and most effective ways that you can help lower your blood pressure.
Chronic dehydration causes blood vessels to constrict, which helps the body conserve water by reducing water loss through perspiration, urination, and respiration.
Most people have heard of the eight-glasses-a-day rule, even if they don’t abide by it. But that recommendation is just the minimum intake.
This is as far as I go today, Should you consider *Natural Supplements* to help lower your High BP,
