Question: What are good ways to counter high blood pressure besides prescription meds!?
I have watched my favorite aunt, who is like a good friend, get high blood pressure after she went through menopause!. She's so healthy, too! She walks in the mall; she eats well, isn't more than 10 lbs overweight!. Huh!?
She has been under a lot of stress thanks to a sick husband!. But this can't be "just" from stress!.!.!.
So I'm wondering if those reading this could give me ideas I can share with her on how to tackle it without necessarily getting on prescription medication with their side effects!.
I've read about potassium!. Are there other ways to lower it!? What has worked for you!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
I stopped using regular table salt and switched to Sea Salt!. Regular table salt has an aluminum coating on it and our bodies don't work as well eating aluminum!.
I also started using Olive Leaf Extract, I take 4 pills, sometimes more and my blood pressure will lower to a safe level!. Rx meds can lower the blood pressure too much and be dangerous!. This is what happened to me when I used the Rx, it really scared me and I stopped using the Rx and started using Olive Leaf Extract!.
Potassium is excellent to correct the fluid levels in the body!. Too high of fluid levels can raise blood pressure!.
The heart needs Magnesium, so this is good!.
A lot of people get abusive when they get sick and she may be dealing with a sick and mean man!. Can you gently ask her if she feels like he may be getting mean to her!? A lot of sick people might be nice to everyone but their primary caregiver, even if he's always been the nicest person in the world, she may be dealing with a Jekyll - Hyde personality!. And sometimes meds can make a person angry and the doctor can maybe change his meds!. It never hurts to ask her and it would be sad if a simple med change could be the answer and no one asked!.
She can also try Bio Identical Hormones, I take these and they are wonderful!.
I hope you find the help you are looking for, you aunt is blessed to have such a wonderful niece!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't have high blood pressure, but I know that medicine is probably the fastest way to lower it!. Stress is a major cause of high blood pressure, as well as family history!. Some of the recommended ways of lowering your blood pressure are through exercise and eating a healthy diet!. Try googleing foods that are known to lower blood pressure and think of some ways to lower her stress level!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The best way is to have her nutritionally tested and see what is causing the high blood pressure!.
Without that, the best thing I've found is magnesium as it relaxes the blood vessels and makes them supple!.
In searching for that, I found something called Blood Vessel Support Formula!. There is a lot to be said about why it works!. You can read about it at www!.realfoodnutrients!.com/bp/home!.htm!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First off, your aunt needs to see a doctor to discuss options for treatment to get her pressure under control!.
If it is not too high, alternatives to medication could be tried!. But if it is a family thing!.!.!.genetic disposition -- they may not be enough!.
What causes hypertension varies among patients!. Sometimes its a combination of factors!.!.!.including stress!.
But, it could also include an imbalance of diet!.!.too much salt, not enough potassium, calcium, magnesium or other unknown mirco-nutrients naturally found in fruits and veggies!. Perhaps too much caffiene consummed to deal with stress!.
Decrease in regular exercise & sleep because of stress and lack of time!. Maybe even a change of diet to too many processed high sodium foods over time saving issues!.!.
That's why its important to be informed about the disease and work closely with a licensed physician!. There are just too many factors!.
Hopefully, your aunt is seeing a physician because the damages uncontrolled hypertension causes the body are very dangerous!.
Regular exercise and getting a regular good night's sleep will help, but if its also gentic she'll likely need medication!.
Read up on hypertension and its effects!. Start with WebMD!.
Check out the recent books on diet and nutrition written by heart surgeons Dr!. Oz & Dr!. Roizen too!. They have the You series that started with You on A Diet!. (They been trying to educate the public about heart disease and its link to nutrition over the last several years!.!.!.see them often on Oprah, Discovery Channel etc!.
Regular exercise, consistant sleep patterns, proper & balanced diet that is mostly fresh fruits and vegetables and legumes!. Cut out processed foods heavy with salt and sweetened carbonated beverages high in sugas or artifical sweetners, & caffeine!. All these could help!.
Md's often recommed losing any excess weight, but if the above changes are being made then the weight will come off on its own!.
Even losing 5 pounds can help sometimes!.
Many individuals believe they are eating a healthy diet but are kidding themselves!. They dont' salt their food but its everywhere in processed foods!. Yes, the body needs salt but no one in the US is suffering for lack of salt consumption rather the oposite!.
Same with high fructose corn syrups!. For 1000 of years since the beginning of our existance mankind has existed with out consumption processed products with high fructose syrups!. Our foods didn't need them so why do we now!? I keep hearing how it is not worse than sugar and fine in moderation!. The point though is that in the US it is very difficult to consume it in moderation as it exists in almost everything that is not a raw real food!. Its it things we never considered pputting sugar in even!. (sorry, hot button and off topic)
In any case cutting down on canned and processed foods as much as possible can't hurt and might help!. Just seems like common sense to me!.!.!. vitamines , minerals and unknown nutrients get stripped out of food in processing, some get put back in, but does everything the body needs get put back!? No way to know!. The only way to be sure is to eat what what is was traditional for centuries!.!.!.real food!.
Some researchers feel that the rise rates of individuals getting hypertension is directly related to how american 's eat!. So, some research is looking at those factors!.
Also, there is new research testing a breathing device that may help patients control stress and therefore control spikes in blood pressure!. Your aunt could ask her doctor about trying this device if her pressure isn't too out of control!. Its called resperate device!. But it isn't necessarily suitable for all patients!. It supposedly teaches them breathing techniques that reduces spikes in blood pressure!. I don't know too much about it yet, I'm still reading up on it!.
Just know that for some families at a certain age the pressure just spikes!. It could cause headaches or migraines risking stroke so the only option is medication to bring it down immediately!.
People who develop sleep apnea also seem to quickly develop hypertension disorders!.
Try to encourage your aunt to learn as much as possible about things she might be able to do, however, if she is more focused on taking care of her husband she might find medication the easier path to take!.
Still you are right to be concerned about all the side effecto of various medications and not all types will work on all patients the same way!.!.!.its a trial and error thing so she must work closely with a trusted physician whom she can openly express her concerns with!. Taking an active role as a patient rather than just following the norm!.
Best wishes to you and your aunt!. Hopefully, it'll work out that she won't need to be on medication forever!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
