High blood pressure has become a pressing problem these days due to an increase in the amount of processed foods and unhealthy options. Moreover, a sedentary lifestyle only exacerbates the problem and that has led to an increase in blood pressure problems among young people all over the world. Nutritionist Anjali Mukherjee has shed light on the causes and natural treatments of blood pressure in her Instagram post.
The post was titled with a lengthy essay on the causes and risks of high blood pressure. However, the post discussed the natural ways to deal with high blood pressure and get it under control without medication. These natural methods are:
Lose weight – It is important to lose weight because it has the most direct effect on controlling blood pressure. Being overweight can lead to high blood pressure and thus heart problems.
Avoid drunkenness – Smoking and drinking can raise your blood pressure and clot your blood vessels. To cleanse your body, it is important to control alcohol intake and stop smoking as it is extremely harmful to your health.
Walking – Walking can help you regulate your blood pressure. Regular walks are the most ideal exercise for people with hypertension according to the expert nutritionist.
Fish – Eating fish two or three times a week can help control blood pressure. If you can’t eat fish that many times a week, you can also choose to take fish oil supplements to lower blood pressure, Anjali says.
Vegetable juice – Anjali suggests that drinking vegetable juice made from wheatgrass is “particularly beneficial” as it can help control blood pressure.
Garlic – The consumption of garlic is known to lower blood pressure. It also lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which further aids in lowering blood pressure in hypertensives. Apart from being in food, garlic can also be consumed in the form of capsules made from extracts available from Ayurvedic pharmacies.
Stalks – Eating fresh celery stalks every day can help lower high blood pressure. Consumption of celery sticks can also aid in weight reduction, helping you control your blood pressure, says Anjali.
