Smart strategies to reduce hypertension naturally:

• Reduce your body weight – weight is a common risk factor for hypertension
• Avoid foods that boost insulin levels (sugars and processed foods) – two-thirds of people who are insulin resistant also have hypertension
• Regular aerobic exercise
• Reduce your stress (adrenalin and cortisol push up blood pressure)
• Relax more; lighten up; laugh more
• Normalize your vitamin D levels – it helps to relax arteries
• Supplement diet with omega-3 rich foods
• Eat a healthy diet – eat real food, not processed food
• Reduce your sodium intake (processed foods, ready meals, table salt)
• Increase your potassium intake – higher levels blunt the effect of sodium
• Increase your magnesium intake – eat lots of leafy green and coloured vegetables and fruit, plus raw, unsalted nuts and seeds
• Limit your alcohol intake
• Limit intake of caffeine
• Drink lots of water
• Quit smoking
• Check your blood pressure regularly
