How to Lower Your Blood Pressure

Almost half of all American adults have high blood pressure, sometimes referred to as hypertension. Dr. Holly Phillips told Inside Edition that high blood pressure “can cause heart disease damage to your brain, eyes, kidneys and blood vessels.” To keep hypertension at bay, Dr. Phillips recommends limiting salt and alcohol, and not smoking. She also recommends a diet high in fruits, vegetables and lean proteins. Exercise and stress management techniques will help as well.

Maybe if the cost of living wasn't so high and hourly pay didn't suck blood pressure wouldn't be so high for many Americans 🤷🏽‍♂️ plenty of healthy people still have it not just the food js

Crying also helps with blood pressure. If you're having a bad day and feeling stressed, give yourself a good cry. You deserve it.

Try some things that make you feel better too. Like your favorite movie, going to a park while feeding ducks and geese, swimming or my favorite hobby, playing video games.

And find a healthier relationship to maintain the situation.

Drinking green tea, consistent running, and having a stress ball in your car during traffic helps.

Healthcare is so dang expensive. I’m completely discouraged to ever see a doctor

[danielgonzales]

Why is this barely being advertised like earth shaking news everyone knows this already common sense 😂😂

[tabithaburns]

Mine was 240/120 a few weeks ago. Very scary

[TheFakePlayerGame]

Eat less Liquorice if I’m correct. Maybe it’s the other way around but I’m pretty sure it increases blood pressure

[edwards.]

I do all of that. My cardiovascular doctor is happy with my numbers

I went to the doc and he said I had high blood pressure, "Do you smoke" no, "do you drink much alcohol?" I don't drink any alcohol, "do you eat a lot of processed foods?" no, I eat a lot of fruits and fresh foods, not too much salt at all. "Do you exercise much?" Well I usually run a few miles a couple days a week, and another day swim for about a half hour.

"Welp, we have these pills that help brings down your blood pressure"
