How To Reduce Your Blood Pressure Naturally

If you suffer from high blood pressure, you obviously need to do something about it.

But does that mean that you're condemned to taking pills and potions for the rest of your life?

It may surprise you but the answer to that question is acually "no".

Fortunately there are some natural ways that you can use to reduce your blood pressure without popping all sorts of pills.

As a first step, if you suffer from stress then you should strongly consider taking up some kind of stress reduction program. I find that meditation is good for this - it's simple and various scientific studies have shown it to be beneficial in reducing stress.

Then, examine your diet. If you are regularly munching on snacks and eating burgers and deep fried chicken then one of your top priorities should be to change what you are eating. If you're one of the many people who aren't yet eating at least five portions of fruit & vegetables on a daily basis, you should adjust what you eat. And remember that eating a packet of potato chips doesn't count as a portion of vegetables! And, although drinking juice is easier, you'll get more benefit from eating the actual fruit or vegetable - raw or cooked.

Reduce the amount of salt in your diet. Do this gradually, so you won't notice it as much. If your salt intake is too high, that's not good. But don't just buy a "low salt" version of a product only to sprinkle extra salt on top! If the products you buy have a nutrition label, remember that salt can also be referred to as sodium but the figure for this is around half the actual salt in the product.

Cut down on life's "pleasures" such as coffee, alcohol and smoking. You don't necessarily have to give these up completely - unless your doctor has told you to - but it's definitely worth cutting them down.
