  1. How To Control High Blood Pressure Without Medication

  2. One of the biggest health problems today is high blood pressure, which is an indication of the amount of tension in your blood vessels. High blood pressure can lead to heart disease, stroke and kidney failure. Hence, it is important to control your blood pressure levels. While there is medication available for high blood pressure, it is always recommended to try other solutions in place of medication as the latter could come accompanied by side effects. Following are 7 easy ways to control high blood pressure without medication:

  3. Shed those extra kilos If you’re prone to high blood pressure, it is important to maintain a healthy body weight as you’re at a higher risk for hypertension if you’re overweight or obese. A combination of a moderate exercise regimen and a healthy balanced diet can help you reach your target weight.

  4. Get sufficient sleep Insomnia and sleep deprivation put you at higher risk of high blood pressure. Stay safe by ensuring that you get a good night’s sleep.

  5. Relax and de-stress In our extremely busy lives these days, we forget to take some time out for ourselves and relax. This is extremely important as stress paves the way for hypertension. So, de-stress by reading a book, taking a nap, meditating, taking up a hobby or even going on a vacation.

  6. Eat more vegetables, especially dark leafy ones Vegetables are a great source of potassium, a nutrient that keeps your blood pressure low. So, go ahead and include at least a few servings of vegetables a day in your diet. Dark leafy vegetables have an added benefit of containing magnesium, which works on relaxing your mind and the walls of your blood vessels. This helps keep your blood pressure levels in check.

  7. Quit smoking While the many harmful effects of smoking are well known, few of us are aware of its impact on our blood pressure. Right after you smoke, your blood pressure levels experience a significant spike. Another reason for you to quit smoking right away!

  8. Other small steps such as reducing your caffeine intake, indulging in some dark chocolate now and then, cutting down on processed foods and exercising daily can go a long way in reducing your blood pressure levels. Read more health related blogs here: https://hcah.in/knowledge-center
