Lowering Blood Pressure with Supplements

Lowering Blood Pressure with Supplements
Most of us already know that High Blood Pressure (HBP) is the root of many health issues, such as heart disease, stroke, or kidney failure.  More evidence is now showing that high blood pressure in middle age people can increase the risk of dementia or poor brain health in later life.  

So what Blood Pressure is considered high.   The table below shows the ranges of Blood Pressure and their significance to hypertension. 


So what can you do to lower your blood pressure?  According to Suja Natarajan, people can follow some lifestyle changes such as:
- Maintain a healthy weight.  An overweight person makes the heart work harder to pump blood and this can increase your blood pressure.
- Exercise ( you knew this was going to be in here!).  Reduce your sitting time and increase your physical activity.  Aerobic exercises like walking, jogging, bicycling, and swimming all can strengthen your heart and lower your blood pressure.
- Improve your diet.  reduce your sodium (salt) intake and eat nitrate-rich foods such as beets, spinach, yogurt, and fatty fish.
- the last Lifestyle change is to support your body with Supplements.   Not just any supplement, but those designed to help lower your blood pressure!
