How to combat high blood pressure possible causes and remedy

In addition to practicing a sporting activity, try to consume more garlic, lemon, and artichoke, and avoid all hypertensives such as tea, mate, licorice or tobacco.

When you have high blood pressure, the systolic pressure is equal to or greater than 140 mmHg and the diastolic pressure is equal to or greater than 90 mmHg. This disease is associated with a higher risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases.

Since cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of illness and death worldwide, it is best to treat it as early as possible. That's why we present to you the three best foods to reduce high blood pressure, as well as tips and natural remedies.

Possible causes of high blood pressure

Even if all the causes have not yet been determined, it has been proven that there are genetic predispositions and that lifestyle also influences the appearance of the disease:

Excessive consumption of salt and salty foods

Obesity

Stress and emotional overload

Sedentary lifestyle

Excessive consumption of foods containing amine (cheese, beer and cold meats)

Often, high blood pressure also has a renal origin: in this case, you must take care of your kidneys by eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, as well as vitamin C.

Symptoms

The problem with high blood pressure is that it often doesn't cause symptoms, which is very dangerous. However, certain symptoms may still appear:

Migraines

Dizziness

Breathing difficulties

Chest pain

Ringing in the ears

Nasal bleeding

Blurred vision

Confusion

Excessive sweating

If you suffer from any of these symptoms or if you think you have high blood pressure, you should go to a pharmacy or directly to the doctor to have your blood pressure measured.

1)-Garlic

Garlic is an excellent therapeutic food against many illnesses: it helps purify the blood and cleanse the intestine, for example. In the case of high blood pressure, garlic acts as a vasodilator of capillaries and arteries.

Many people know its virtues and consume it raw every morning. To make the taste more pleasant we can spread it on a slice of bread and add a little olive oil. You can also make the Tibetan garlic remedy.

For people who are very sensitive to its taste and smell, it is also possible to buy garlic oil in capsule form.

2)-Lemon

The lemon deserves a special mention! Indeed, unlike other citric acids and even though it is acidic, it is capable of neutralizing acids once it arrives in the stomach. It also helps purify the body and is rich in vitamin C.

In cases of hypertension, it helps eliminate the rigidity of blood vessels by making them more flexible. On the other hand, lemon contains a lot of vitamin B, which helps avoid heart failure.

You can follow a treatment to optimize its effects. To do this, on the first day, simply drink the juice of a lemon with water. On the second day you will do it with two lemons, on the third day with three, and so on, until you reach twelve lemons.

Then, you will reverse the process, and you will eliminate one lemon each day, until you get back to one lemon per day to complete the cure.

3)-The artichoke

The artichoke has diuretic properties which help eliminate excess fluids in the body, which reduces blood pressure. Moreover, the artichoke is considered a real natural remedy against hypertension.

This herb also contains a high concentration of potassium which helps reduce blood pressure. But that's not all ! Artichoke helps digest and effectively protects the liver.

It is recommended to consume it regularly in peak season, baked or stewed. If it is not the season, you can always take natural extracts or tablets made from artichoke.

Other tips

Bathe your arms in hot water and bath your feet in lukewarm water.

If you take pharmaceutical diuretics, it is better to also take potassium in supplements or through several foods (tomatoes, broths, banana milkshakes) to avoid stress and hypersensitivity.
