Lower Your Blood Pressure Naturally

Normal blood pressure for adult humans is 120 over 80 or below. Better is 115/75. Any BP higher than this could be an indication that you might develop hypertension in the future.

The “red line” for hypertension or high blood pressure is 140 over 90. Anything in-between normal and this redline, while not in crisis still means you are at higher risk for heart attack, stroke or kidney and heart failure.

If you have normal range blood pressure, great! You have no problems and should live a long and healthy life. But if you are up in the danger range, you ought to lower your blood pressure level.

At one time in my life I was diagnosed as borderline hypertensive. For the next 15 years I took “beta blocking” pharmaceuticals to control my blood pressure (BP). What finally saved me from that was that I had bought a home blood pressure testor device and tested my BP each morning before I got out of bed.

I began to notice that certain things I did or did not do seemed to affect my daily BP readings. If I drank alcohol in excess in the evening, the next morning my BP would be higher. If I ate popcorn and drank martinis my BP went up. Red wine with cheese and crackers and it went down.

Gradually, I learned to lower blood pressure naturally. I found foods and a lifestyle that caused my blood pressure to go down. Gradually, I lowered the amount of medication I was taking, keeping my BP at 120/75.

I kept on in this manner of lowering blood pressure naturally until finally, I found that I didn’t need the medication at all. That was 9 years ago. I never went back. Today, I still take my BP in the mornings. My last ten-day moving average of readings is 100.8/60.5 with a pulse rate of 51.0.

I took chances with my health and spent thousands of dollars on prescription drugs before I found out that when you control your blood pressure naturally, you don’t need them!

Most people don’t have to take chances with the problems associated with high BP; they don’t need expensive medications either. They can control blood pressure naturally with zero out-of pocket cost. The links above take you to a website that shows you how to do that.
