How can you lower blood pressure without medication? -

I have somewhat high blood pressure right on the edge of being stage one hypertension. I don t want to take medication because A.) I don t have insurance at the moment and B.) Blood pressure medication is bad for the liver. So the question is: how can I lower my blood pressure without using medication? Thanks!

1. Lose weight if you re overweight. 2. Reduce sodium intake. try to keep it under 2,200 milligrams a day. 3Reduce your alcohol intake. try not to exceed a drink a day. Also, stop smoking. 4, Exercise more frequently. 5. Eat a diet low in fat, saturated ,fat sodium, and colesterol. And increase your intake of legumes.

it is important you get adequate quantity of the omega-3 fatty acids, which can be easily done by consuming a portion of oily fish like sardines, salmon, mackerel, at least 2 times a week. Report Abuse

Avoid foods that raise blood pressure (salty foods) and eat foods that lower blood pressure (those high in potassium).

Exercise. Reduce stress. Meditate. Yoga. Talk about your problems. Remember that some people just naturally have higher or lower than usual blood pressures. If mine goes much lower, I may slip into a coma! (kidding)

have you tried the dried garlic, you can find it @ almost any drug store or ask the pharmasist
