High blood pressure (hypertension) is a blood pressure reading above 140/90. High Blood Pressure often leads to dizziness, exhaustion, chest pain among other things.Suffering from hypertension makes it hard to get insurance. Therefore, it is in your best interest to get rid of it quickly.





Despite popular believe, hypertension, is rarely inherited. Hypertension is something that can be treated withouth medication


Doctors are quick to prescribe you with loads of medication, but these invasive medicine are rarely going to be doing you any good in the long run. Even if you do end up on medication, your lifestyle will make the biggest difference to becoming healthy. Here are two of the most important tips for curing this problem:


#1) Modifiy your diet


Changing your diet is one of the most important and effective changes you can make to your lifestyle. Include more fruit and vegies in your diet. These are the staples of any good diet, regardless of what the protein source is. The best sources of protein are whole grains, fish and nuts.
Make sure to lower your intake of salt, as this is one of the worst foods for high blood pressure. Also eat lots of potassium, as this is one of the best nutrients to combat hypertension. Bananas are a great source of potassium.


#2) Smoking and Drinking are a no-no


Both smoking and drinking both have negative effects on your body.


#3) Work out vigorously


Research studies have proven that exercising reduces the blood pressure dramatically. Also, make sure it's intense. The more vigorous the workout, the better your chances of eliminating your hypertension.
That's not to say walking or slow jogging will hurt you. It just will not help as much as something more vigorous.


It's important that you enjoy your work out. One thing you can try is taking up a sport. That way you can get exercise and enjoy it at the same time. There's nothing worse than dreading your workout, and this is one of the main reasons many people lead sedentary lives.


The bottom line: diet and exercise are extremely important for dropping the blood pressure. Medication is very rarely necessary. Even if it is at first, by changing your lifestyle you should be able to bring your high blood pressure under control shortly.
