Apart from drugs, what can you do to help a hypertensive person from getting stroke and heart attack? My dad had this problem when I was a senior in high school, but absolutely refused to take medicine. So my mom cut back on the fried foods (we live in Georgia so that was hard for him), and he took two 81 milligram baby aspirin a day. He also took a small shot of vinegar a day on the advice of my aunt, who is a nurse. I'm not sure why that works, but I do know that his blood pressure and cholesterol went down, and he's feeling a lot better. Hope this helps! you should see how exercise brings the B/P down. diet low in fat and cholesterol Moderate exercise is always a good idea. Water aerobics are wonderful, as is walking, swimming, and dancing. I realize that many folks in this condition cannot run, bicycle, attend aerobics classes, etc., but exercise and diet are still the best laymen-oriented ways to combat diseases like heart attacks and strokes. A children's asperin, once a day, has also been talked about. Stay on a low salt diet, no junk foods or processed foods. Just fresh, low-fat proteins, veggies and fruits. Whole grains instead of white; lay off of the pasta. Salt intake reduction will decrease the volume of fluids the heart has to pump and lower your pressure. Also, up the fluids (no sodas or caffiene), drink water or fruit juice. Lower weight if overweight and that will also have a significant impact on the blood pressure. Moderate exercise, 30 min. a day walking; or 3 10 minute walks, will also help. Lots of good sleep and stress-reducing activities. retired nurse Great question, going natural and looking at the non-chemical way to beating HBP. Well, make sure you drink plenty of water and get regular light-medium intensity exercise (avoid weight training as it shoots your BP up). I'll put some links down there for you to read over as well, it's all natural, good luck! |
