Several Ways to Lower Blood Pressure Before Testing

By Michael Byrd

If you want to know how you can lower blood pressure before testing then trust me because I have the sure-fire answer to that.

And it's supported by science.

We will not use an instant fix here. We will do things methodically, using science as our source. So there's no need to worry because you won't be subjected to experiment.

We can start using the basics first then apply tactics later on.

First, you will need to stop smoking if you are doing it. Doctors have always kept reminding us that smoking is not good for our health.

If you are determined to lower your blood pressure, start a diet that contains whole grains, lean meat, low-fat dairy, lots of vegetables (less the cheese and butter) and fresh fruit.

Totally stop or minimize your intake of alcohol, caffeine and sweets.

I'm sure some of you have heard of this before, but it is now time to take action.

You need to get on a regular exercise program. Regular exercises help you get good muscle tone, strength, endurance and proper circulation. You can start it with short walks and slowly increase as you get more stamina.

In the end, it is always good to add light strength training.

While you are doing it, learn to relax. And I mean really stop worrying about the things that bother you.

Find things that you love doing. If you like the things that you do, you will feel happy and will worry less. Your feelings will bring your blood pressure up or down.

And finally, begin supplementing your diet with nutrients that can lower blood pressure. I have enumerated it below and explained why.

Vitamin E is good if you have problems in your circulation which may be causing your high blood pressure. It is known to soften blood thus enhancing good circulation.

Vitamin C intake enhances good blood circulation. Vitamin C sourced from whole foods makes the collagen healthy, hence making the arteries and veins more elastic.

Scientific research shows that a diet supplement of essential fatty acids combined with good exercise can help in lowering blood pressure. Whole grains and fatty fish are the best source of fatty acids. But stay away from flaxseed, borage and primrose oils.

Fact is you need to get a fish oil supplement that has ETA. ETA is known to improve the elasticity of the wall of the arteries, helping to lower blood pressure.

Lastly, use garlic tablets. Take it at night. It is known to lower blood pressure.

Do not go for brands that are deodorized. These are purely marketing gimmicks. Allicin causes the odor in garlic and it is also the one that gives the health benefits. Coated garlic solves odor problems and works much better.

There it is ? several ways to lower blood pressure before testing.

If you do start it today, give it at least one to three months, and then you can go back for another test. - 17274
