Several Ways to Lower Blood Pressure Before Testing

By Michael Byrd

Do you want to know how you can lower blood pressure before testing? I have the perfect answer to that.

And it is reinforced by science.

There are definitely no shortcuts here. The method that we will use is systematic and based on scientific research.

Let us begin with the basics and slowly move on to other strategies.

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 really aiming to lower your blood pressure, check your diet. You may need to replace your diet with whole grains, lean meat, low-fat dairy, lots of veggies (with no cheese and butter) and fresh fruit.

Try to 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.

Begin a regular exercise program. Start by taking short walks then gradually increase it as you gain stamina. Exercise can improve muscle tone, strength, endurance, and circulation.

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.

Finally, you must not forget supplementing your diet with nutrients needed to lower blood pressure. Find the list below on what and 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 improves the elasticity of the arteries and veins, contributing to good blood circulation.

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.

The fact is, try to get a fish oil supplement that has ETA. ETA increases the elasticity of the arteries to lower the blood pressure.

Last but definitely not least, take garlic tablets at night. Garlic is known to reduce blood pressure.

Find a good brand, but do not buy deodorized tablets. They are just marketing gimmicks. It is allicin in garlic that gives it the undesirable odor, but is also the one giving health benefits as well. You can try coated garlic. The odor is eliminated but it works well.

So that's it ? ways to lower blood pressure before testing.

So if you start today, try to give it one to three months and you will be happy with the results of your next test. - 17268
