Natural remedies have been used successfully by millions of people for thousands of years, yet in this “modern” day and age, many people scoff at natural remedies saying they cannot possibly be better at treating you than what today’s medical science can provide. This statement is made despite the fact that those expensive prescription drugs are lining the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies with your money, and those prescription drugs may provide equivalent relief, assuming you are willing to put up with unfortunate side effects like diarrhea, cramping, occasional vomiting, and perhaps growing a third arm. If that is my best option with “modern medical science”, I’ll put up with my original ailment, thank you very much.
Many people are diagnosed these days with hypertension, which is a direct reflection on an unhealthy lifestyle that we tend to lead. With companies pushing employees to do more and more, annual raises (if they exist at all) getting less and less, and the threat of unemployment if you push back, it is no wonder that hypertension is a common ailment that people complain about.
Unhealthy lifestyle? Who has the time to lead a healthy lifestyle with all the demands put on you today, between the kids, your spouse, your job, your social commitments, and other things you cannot gracefully get out of, it is a wonder that hypertension is the ONLY problem you have. But you should think seriously about a healthier lifestyle, because a “chronically unhealthy” lifestyle is going to lead to even bigger problems in the future.
Hypertension is sometimes also referred to as high blood pressure, although technically they are not the same problem. If you go to see your family doctor about hypertension, he will no doubt prescribe some drug, perhaps even an OTC (Over The Counter) medicine to take care of it. While that may solve the problem in the short term, you should really consider natural remedies, as well as a lifestyle change, to more effectively combat this problem. Based on the effectiveness shown, even doctors and researchers are beginning to lean in this direction.
Your body is a highly efficient engine, finely tuned and capable of performing a multitude of tasks. If you bought a high-end very expensive sports car that required premium gas, would you put regular unleaded in it and still expect it to perform at peak efficiency? Of course not, and your body is no different. Your body reacts to what you put into it, and that means a balanced diet, which if done correctly, will lower your blood pressure and ease the problem of hypertension.
There are a variety of foods that naturally lower blood pressure and reduce or eliminate the symptoms of hypertension. Foods like garlic, foods high in potassium, and fish with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids all play a role in dilating blood vessels, relaxing muscles, and overall allowing more efficient blood flow in your body.
For hypertension, pressure, and stress, you may also want to consider the health and medical benefits of aromatherapy, which not only helps with your mental state to relax you, but has also been proven to help from a medical perspective.
Don’t become another statistic by not having time to change your lifestyle. Consider the fact that you do not have time NOT to change your lifestyle if you are prone to hypertension. Try it – you will be surprised at how much better you feel!
