Many of us are unaware that hypertension(high blood pressure) is an unhealthy condition that can pave way to multiple chronic diseases. The good news is that it can be controlled through healthy diet, taking natural supplements, regular exercise and adequate rest. Therefore, start controlling your blood pressure the natural way.

OATS

A recent 2002 study revealed that daily consumption of oat cereal showed obvious reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

VITAMIN C

When our body produces hormone noradrenaline (the stress hormone) that promotes the constriction of blood vessels, our blood pressure will be elevated. The antihypertensive effect of Vitamin C is associated with the reduction in the sensitivity of blood vessels towards norafenaline and enhancement of blood vessels relaxation and dilation, thus lowering the blood pressure.

OMEGA 3

The DHA fatty acid found in fish oil helps to reduce relaxation of blood vessels(vascular smooth muscles), therefore inducing dilation of blood vessels. This process consequently helps to lower the blood pressure.

CALCIUM

An analysis of 23 large observational studies has found a reduction of 0.34 mm Hg in systolic blood pressure with the daily ingestion of 100 mg calcium.

ALOE BARBADENSIS

Aloeemodin, an active component found in Aloe Barbadensis has emerged as a potent blood pressure lowering agent in current pharmocological investigations. Besides that, it also contains a broad spectrum of nutriens to nourish our heart and blood vessels(cardiovascular system).

GINGSENG

The production of “nitric oxide” is crucial for hypertensive patients because it assists in lowering blood pressure. Scientific studies especially those from Korea has continuously supported the observations of the beneficial effects of gingseng in lowering blood pressure through the active compound ’saponins’, which helps in the release of nitric oxide into the bloodstream.
