As we leave our 20s and 30s behind and find ourselves navigating all the newfound ailments that like to tag along in middle age, one of the most commonly suffered is high blood pressure.
The World Health Organization has dubbed this condition as the single most prolific killer worldwide, affecting at least 25% of the global population.
Drug makers roll in the dough made through the maladies of these sufferers, but there are ways to drop blood pressure to safe levels without medications.
Today we’ll look at 7 of the most effective natural treatments and lifestyle changes to lower blood pressure without side effects.
Finding out you are pre-hypertensive or even hypertensive doesn’t mean you are automatically sentenced to life with pharmaceuticals. People find every day that they are able to get their blood pressure to drop to safe levels- and stay down- with just a few changes.
Try some (or all) of these strategies to get your high blood pressure under control without needing to resort to drugs with dangerous side effects.
[adrotate group=”5″]Stop Smoking- This is listed at the top because of its incredible killing power. Even if you don’t develop cancer from smoking (although it’s extremely likely), the toxic effects of poisoning your body every day are stealthy.
Vascular damage stresses out the body and the poisonous chemicals are so avoidable. And if you don’t smoke- get away from 2nd hand smoke. This is the number 1 factor in lung cancer among NON smokers and the stress it places on the body can account for as much as a 4-5 point systolic spike when exposed.
Boost immunity- Being sick and lacking the energy to fight off disease stresses out the body in very preventable, easily correctable ways. If you find that you are sick a lot, consider adding probiotics to your diet and find a way to get some safe sunlight.
Naturally occurring vitamin D is the best boost to immunity because it’s free and it’s completely natural. The uptick in serotonin from exposure to UV light also increases immune health.
Keep weight down- It’s no secret that obesity is becoming the fastest growing disease in the world, with its partner, Type 2 diabetes. Metabolic disorders are almost a guarantee that you will end up with an extra 10 points systolic.
Get the extra 10 or 20 pounds off the belly and watch your high blood pressure fall naturally and safely.

Stuff stress- The biological stressors like illness and environmental ones (2nd hand smoke for example) do enough to drive up hypertension. Don’t do it any favors by letting anxiety run untreated. There are great alternatives that are inexpensive, effective, and easy to do that will help get emotional stress under control.
Learn the most effective method to eliminate stress and drop blood pressure…
Breathe- What many people don’t realize is that not breathing properly or having poor posture will limit the amount of oxygen you take in. Less than optimum O2 intake can spell disaster over time.
Find ways to include some deep breathing in your relaxation regimen. The added oxygen will perk up systems throughout the body, making it work more efficiently and this is always a great way to regulate blood pressure.
Our Weight-Loss-Breeze exercises helps you lose weight, relief stress and lose weight all by improving your breathing day and night. Unbelievable but it works. Check them out here…
Supplement- Today’s Western diets are terrible. It’s true…the way good food is molested and processed until it’s got a longer shelf life than most people is a disgrace. Salt isn’t the enemy- refined, over-loaded packaged food with astronomical amounts of sodium, however, are.
Food no longer sustains us like it did when we ate fresh. So now, we have no choice but to supplement to get the critical nutrients we need. Magnesium, zinc, and calcium are the big 3 that wind up dwindling in diets of those of us in middle age.
A cycle of bad events happens as a result, so make sure to get supplemental amounts of these minerals every day.
Here is the only Heart Health supplement recommended by Blue Heron Health News….
Limit alcohol- a glass of red wine with dinner is great if the sulfates don’t bother you. Three or more beers every day can, however, be terrible. This is just a source of extra calories and inflammation that your body doesn’t need at all.
Hard liquor is even worse. All it serves to do is make you fat, contribute to snoring and sleep apnea (known causes of high blood pressure), and contribute to an addiction. Dump the liquor and beer and instead opt for limited amounts of red wine or Sake.
Getting high blood pressure under control doesn’t have to break the bank. In fact, these natural alternatives will very likely end up saving you money if you implement all the changes listed above.

I am on blood pressure medicine that I feel that I should not be on. I take Floricimid 40mg twice daily, Kor-con twice daily,Lasartan 100mg once daily, Metopolo25mg once daily. Approximately a year an a half ago I contracted a dry cough and a bit of sinus syndomes. I went to my care giver and he priscripted to me the most portant anti-biotic on the market.This ran my blood pressure through the roof.The rest of the story is that before all of this my blood pressure was irregular because of service connected disability known as the Gillian-Barre Syndrome, which the immune system attachs the periferal nerveous system; therefore my blood pressure was always high because of my incurable service connected vicine injury. I am or nerver been a smoker, or drinker to speak of.Because of the improper administering the anti.biotics I have been bother with the bloded stomachbreathing problems, and spasmatic issues. Otis

I found the one 100% guaranteed way to drop blood pressure is to go on a fast, it can take 3 days or more, start with diluted fruit and vegetable juices, Google fasting and blood pressure for more info.
I purchased Christian Goodman's program How to Lower Blood Pressure several months ago. I downloaded the three exercise audios to my IPhone. I have never used them because they sound like one of those spooky recordings played backwards. I have taken my IPhone to the.
Apple store to see if it is something wrong with my phone. They say it must be the recording itself. What would you suggest?
SO TRUE…EVEN AT THE DENIST!!! :/
Watch sodium intake in all forms.
Compensate by eating a fruit known for potassium or drink coconut water or sprinkling lightly some potassium salt or make water and drink it.
Take an absorb-able calcium magnesium supplement
Take a high-quality Hawthorne supplement
Take a high-quality grapeseed extract
Take Black strap molasses for the magnesium.
Exercise daily but don’t overdo. Sweat once in awhile. And don’t overdo any of the above. Hydrate small amounts even if you don’t drink water, but not necessary to gulp water every 2 hours.
Some people think they need to take tons of the stuff. You only need a little and you even want to get off of it after while.
I mean who eats grape seeds everyday?
Se you the end of April. I'll be in Cocoa
I forgot to add a high quality absorbable L-Arginine taken on an empty stomach or in between meals to help control blood pressure.
As usual consult with your health professional first.
Even resting heart rate demonstrates and proves that my BP is almost normal. Its the flight or fight mode when testing. 120 BPM or 20…. so my big Q is – why the fuucccck did I have to figure this out when the Dr's were to busy pushing drugs. Basic very basic science ignored.
excellent
