How To Lower Blood Pressure Naturally and Quickly At Home

If you want to lower your high blood pressure/hypertension quickly and naturally at home - then we will chat about the best ways to do this! The very first thing to reduce is your SALT intake. Salt makes your body hold onto water If you have too much salt in your diet, the extra water in your blood means there is extra pressure on your blood vessel walls, raising your blood pressure. cooking.

2) Weight loss - For a lot of us - me included - we’ve gained some weight over the last 2 years. Busier working lives, less time for exercise and slowly the weight can creep up. Being overweight or obese increases your chance of having high blood pressure.

3) Exercise Regularly - being active and taking regular exercise lowers blood pressure by keeping your heart and blood vessels in good condition and added bonus of losing wieght.

4) Eat a healthy balanced diet

- Its too simplistic to just cut out salt but ignore diet
- Aim for a mediterrean diet - no strict - must eat this but - balance of lots of fruit and veg, whole grain, legumes, nuts, seeds, fish, low fat dairy - using extra virgin olive oil for cooking.
- Reduce your saturated fats - these are fats in sausages/burgers/bacon/butter/cheddar cheese
- Atleast 5 fruit and veg per day

5) Reduce Stress Levels- So when you are stressed you release hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These work part of a response you might have heard - “fight or flight” - the tigers are long gone coz we destroyed their habitats - but the response still increases your heart rate and blood pressure to make you ready to fight or run!

- Get into meditation - studies have shown meditation and mindfulness is a great way to help reduce your stress. Aim to do it twice daily - morning and evening - 10 minutes just focusing on breathing.
- Exercise is another great method to help burn that physical stress off.
- Also doing things you love - video games/friends etc - things that recharge your batteries and make you feel happy can release good hormones that can relax your blood vessels.

6) Limit your alcohol intake

People who drink alcohol tend to have high blood pressure - it is also high in calories so makes you put on wt =, in turn, can make you inc bp even more. We should aim to drink within healthy limits of 14 units per week.

7) Reduce your Caffeine intake - You get caffeine in tea/coffee/energy drinks and soft drinks - but it can cause your blood vessels to constrict - meaning - narrowing - this in turn can increase BP.

8) Stop Smoking

Lifestyle factors or tablets? The age-old question of whether you should start tablets or try to change your lifestyle to help you reduce your blood pressure. I will explain what I tell my patients in the hope that it helps you! Good luck with your journey.

Dear Dr. Khalid you are so simple yet so clear in explaining to control BP. Thanks for this lovely video clip.

this is very depressing... I have been diagnosed with high PB for a couple of month now (150/100). Before that I used to be slightly overweight, trained regularly, did not smoke or drink. Since two months back I have increased my training (running 3 times a week one hour), I have almost completely removed carbs and lost 6 kg, I am not eating any processed food, I am eating all the recommended stuff (flax seed, avocado, salmon, hibiscus tea and so on), I sleep at least 8 hours, even tried accupunture. During the 2 first weeks of changes of my lifestyle, my BP got down to almost 120/75. But then it got back to 145/95 (ish) and seems stuck there. I can make it go down a little by doing breathing exercises before it take my BP, but this feels like cheating as it is not sustainable. At that point I am thinking of quiting all those changes and just not bother, take a pill, because obviously something is not working out right.

Blood pressure 145/93, quit drinking 5 days ago, and I am on day 3 of a 4 day fast, seems to be around 135/83 already, I am looking forward to finishing the fast tomorrow as I have ordered a lot of healthy foods, I seem to be all in with whatever I do whether good or bad, positivity can be like a snowball rolling down a hill picking up more as it goes, same with negativity.

Excellent video.I am a retired Rn in critical care now retired an have a hard time with BP elevation.Thank you.

[andrewdunners]

It’s a salt/potassium ratio. Up the potassium if you can’t eliminate salt.

[paulettemorris]

Nope went to the dr today bp was 160/100 all i eat is raw veggies and oatmeal for breakfast and occasionally chia seed cereal little to no meat and i lost some weight.

I'm 31 and started having BP issues when I was pregnant between late 2020 and 2021. I was given medication then, but discontinued a few months after giving birth, with my Doctor's approval of course. Since then I have been fine but I sometimes feel my BP going up, usually headache or dizziness. The thought of taking medication for the rest of my life freaks me out, but I will if I have to. Honestly, I have not been very active, gained some weight especially around my waist, I do not eat clean at all, and I am constantly stressing over things. I want to change all that because my baby needs his mum to be around a lot longer.

[lavellekirby]

State of relaxation and processed food is what I’ll be very mindful of by making these changes.
Life style…
Thank you Doctor.

[malihajung]

Blessed good morning doc. Really loved your video. I've been getting a headache for more than two weeks now n finally when n had my pressure checked yesterday and the Dr said it was 150/100. He said that I need to check it about three more times again before I can be properly diagnosed as being hypertensive or not. So he advised me to start my garlic water n so in the meantime. Thank you again for your helpful video do have a blessed safe day 💋❤️🥰💯🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨
