Hi Nairalanders,
what are the natural ways of reducing high blood pressure?
My BP is between 130/90 - 140/90. The doctor says with my weight and stature it is normal but google says it is supposed to be 120/80.
I cannot take drugs because it is a lifelong comitment and self prescribed since the doctor says I am fine.
That is why I want natural ways to stabilise or reduce it

Take water very often. Avoid fatty and junk foods. Eat a lot of calcium and proteinous foods. Exercise daily and regularly(try and sweat), reduce your salt intake and eat fish!lol. Hope it helps. By the way, you aint hypertensive but you are just on the borderline and it can be reduced. Goodluck Jonathan.

Thank you very much. About the exercise, I may say I cant be found wanting. I sweat alot. I have a bad leg and so exert more energy while walking because I dont have a car neither do I walk with any aid.
I checked my weight yesterday and it was 75kg.
I eat a lot of junk, if popcorn, indomie and coca cola is included as junk.
I really need to cut short

hi, you really need to cut out the junk food, try and eat healthy, more fruits, vegetables, fish,carrots and so on, you can make it in a way thats attractive, e.g you can cut up green leafy vegetables like green leaf or ugu ( fluted pumpkin) spice it up a little with pepper and maggi and eat with dry fish or smoked fish, its really delicious, make it a big part of your daily diet, drink lots of water, you will be surprised at the effects of these simple changes.

I also have a book that is so good on how to reduce your blood pressure naturally ,I am 100% sure that this will be very helpful to you. See http://enhanceurlife.net/home.htm for more information.

You can achieve good health. Keep trying.

People have given you great advice but I just want to point something out. At your BP you have a mild hypertension which i think you shouldn't worry too much about. Since you said "you exert more energy daily".My question is was your BP measured after you've had at least 15minute rest between walking?.

75kg alone is not enough to determine your risk for hypertension and your body mass index (BMI) can be calculated by measuring your height as well.When you use this formula[BMI=weight(kg)/H squared (metres squared] and your ans. is less than 25kg/m squared then you should be fine in terms of been overweight or obese.

Just stick to a routine that works for you as suggested by other posters and stop the junk food.

There are natural ways you can reduce High Blood Pressure safely and without taking drugs which have worked for a lot of people.

you sound very enlightened. Its good to have enlightened people around.
Please, how do I calculate mine? Last time I checked my BP it was 110/70, my weight wavers between 65 and 68. I'm 5.8'' tall.
Thank you.

^^^convert the 5"8 to metres then square the obtained value before using it to divide ur weight,it is so simple.if ur answer falls within 19-24.5,u are ok.anything outside u are either underweigt or overweight.

Yea, I had fun yesterday abi 2days ago converting and dividing.
I'm good to go.

Does donating blood reduce blood pressure?
Is there a health risk if you donate blood with my bp rate?

I read that beetroot juice helps I made the research few month ago as I'm always on 140/80 and above. I don't know why this is so cos I'm not overweight and exercise regularly, the major culprit I believe is the high salt intake. I'm going to reduce the high salt intake and take the beetroot juice for 1 month and see how it goes.

@tonnytox, please lets know the result of the beetroot juice later. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!

What is beetroot juice?

Beetroot juice I believe is extracted from tuber like plant, you may google it for more info on it's benefits

Well peeps just feel that I should provide you with an update on my beetroot trial. I used the beetroot juice for several weeks with no results my BP was still usually around 147/93 and sometime as high as 163/100! I decided I can no longer allow the BP to be killing me slowly, I booked an appointment with my GP who recommended a series of tests, like ECG, blood and urine tests as well as kidneys scan. All the tests came back fine which ruled out the possibility of any primary issue with my organs.

I am now on Amplodipine 5mg and Lisinopril 2.5mg daily, my BP has now come down to 125/67. My advise is please seek medical attention on time if you have a BP because its a silent killer and in most cases with no symptoms. Also high BP could be a secondary one, that is, its just a symptoms of the real issue, the real issue may be the kidneys or the arteries.

check under the health section. Goodluck
