|
|
Here
are 6 key things that you can start doing today to lower your blood
pressure naturally:
Stop
smoking: The nicotine in a single cigarette is potent enough to
raise blood pressure levels above normal. It can take 30 minutes to
an hour for the effects of a cigarette to wear off and for blood
pressure to return to baseline.
Lose
fat: Take in 200-300 fewer calories today than you did yesterday,
and keep doing it, day after day) and you will significantly lower
your blood pressure.
Decrease
your salt intake: You should consume no more than 2,000 milligrams
of sodium per day (about one teaspoon of salt).
Eat
more fruit and vegetables: Add one piece of fruit or vegetable to
very meal.
Reduce
your alcohol intake: men should consume no more than 2 12 oz beers
per day – women, half that amount.
Exercise
– work up to 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise per day.
