Control of high BP is difficult, but Still, many people keep their High blood pressure under control in natural ways, or things, which work perfectly.
High Blood Pressure has become a common disease in today’s time, which is seen more in people above 40, and sometimes in teenagers.
One of the main causes of high BP is stress, which is very difficult to get rid of completely in today’s era, and the environment and food also contribute to it.
Why Do So Many People Affect By High Blood Pressure?
The main and most common reason that about 80% of people are affected by High BP is:
- Salt Intake: whether it is home or junk food they are high in sodium, which dilates our veins, slows down the flow of blood, and may also cause a heart stroke.
- Stress: This is connected to our many hormones, which may trigger our veins, healthy weight, even sexual life, and many more things.
- Do nothing: If someone’s salt intake is well-balanced, and stress is at a lower level, but still experiences High BP.
It may due to inactivity which causes weight gain, this excess weight lead to high cholesterol level, causes high Bp, and increases the risk of heart attack.
Yoga
Yoga is one of the best options to reduce weight, which decreases the risk of high Blood pressure, and even lower your inner s*xual feeling.
I experienced, that is the best option to reduce your inner fire feelings, even stretch your overall body cover, improve balance, treat stomach gas issues, etc.
Yoga is an ancient hack to stay healthy and some yoga that our ancestors used to improve their overall health. they include:
- Anulom vilom: It is a breathing asana that increases the blood flow, which increases oxygen level, resultin decrease in the chance of a heart attack.
- Cobra pose (Bhujangasana): Promote circulating, this also reduces stress and is good for back pain. also considered beneficial for asthma patients.
- Child pose (Balasana): this provides high-level benefits for High BP patients. This asana also works on stress and improves blood dissemination throughout the body.

NOTE: All these asanas are enough for controlling your High blood pressure and reducing the risk of Heart disease. if you do daily.
Exercise
Daily exercise is similar to yoga, but where yoga reduces your inner feeling, on the other hand, physical exercise such as:

- Anaerobic exercise
- The resistance training exercise,
- Running
- Walking 800 to 10,000 steps a day may contribute to lower blood pressure.

Whenever you lose weight, you will be filled with confidence on your own. and losing weight can positively affect your High Blood pressure.
Reduce Salt Intake
As I said before salt intake is highly responsible for High BP in many people.
Because I personally saw in my members that the doctor first recommended that reduce salt intake.
Many studies tell, and believe that salt intake is linked to High BP, and heart events, such as stroke.
But how does salt trigger our High Blood Pressure?
Salt contains sodium, which dilutes our veins, and then obstruct the way of Blood in veins, which causes high blood pressure.
Also, our body needs extra water to “flush” the salt from our body, which also affects kidney health. that is why doctors’ first recommendation is to reduce salt intake.
High Sodium food, which easily disturbs your Blood Pressure:
- Processed food
- soup
- snacks food (popcorn, chips)
- don’t put salt on top of the food.
- make sure, to check the food labels, that are low in sodium contain.
NOTE: However, Consuming a small amount of sodium in the diet can also improve heart health, and reduce high Blood Pressure by 5 to 6mm Hg.
Calm Down Your Stress
Stress, which is now become a part of our daily, is similar to salt, stress is more connected to our High Blood Pressure.
Stress is like a worm, which waites when we come on tension then it dominates us. if we don’t control it early, it can harm your health.
Chronic stress may also contribute to High BP.
But more research are still pending, stress becomes more aggressive when you eat unhealthy food or do not take good quality sleep.
But how to control stress here are some methods that give their 100%.
- Focus on work, that you do, and don’t think about, which triggers your stress.
- Do what you like most, like gaming, exercising, chatting with friends, etc.
- In case of any trauma, talk to your friends and family members. and somebody else, that understands your thoughts.
- Practice yoga, and meditation, because stress starts in our mind, and these things are phenomenal to controlling your stress in deep.
Make sure to find your stress reason, if you found it, then do some above methods to control your stress.
Meditation
Meditation is a solution to many issues, and I advise you that meditation is the best natural thing to control your High BP.
Many believe that meditation is way beyond our thinking, and that is why many monks spend their whole life setting meditation, without eating or drinking.
Like yoga, where yoga’s primary function is to promote physical health, and here meditation’s primary work is to promote mental health.
Note: Both yoga breathing exercises and meditation may actuate the parasympathetic sensory system.
This system is engaged when the body relaxes, easing the heart rate, and bringing down High BP.
- First, sit in a comfortable position on the mat, and avoid the noise area.
- second, Take a deep breath.
- third, Focus only on inhaling and exhale breathing.
- fourth, If you’re having trouble meditating start with “OM“
It keeps your mind under control, which is very effective in emergency situations and will keep your High BP under control even at that time.
Meditation is much above our thinking, so make sure to gradually increase the timing, and for beginners start with “OM“. early 2 to 4 days it seems difficult, but keep doing it.
Limit Consumption of Alcohol and Smoking
Alcohol is good on a limit, but If it goes above the limit, then it creates some trouble, and If one doesn’t control it early, it will become a long-term headache.
Some examination shows that drinking liquor under the limit can be profitable for heart health, however, an excessive amount of alcohol can cause an unexpected spike in BP.
Alcohol is connected to 15% of High blood pressure cases all throughout the earth. drinking liquor can raise Blood Pressure.
Smoking
Quit smoking is good for our overall health, smoking causes temporary High Bp, but over time it does not take long to become permanent.
Over time the chemicals in cigarettes are increased which promoting a negative impact on our blood vessels, which causes inflammation in arteries, leading to heart disease.
Both are not good for health, in excessive amounts they raise the risk of High BP, and even lead to life-threatening situations.
Eat Some Dark Chocolate
It tracked that eating dark chocolate, which contains 50 to 70% cocoa, brought down BP in the participants, but most outstandingly in those with hypertension.
A study was reviewed that eating 1 to 2 square dark chocolate per/day may help lower the risk of heart disease by lowering Blood Pressure.
Dark chocolate contains a compound called polyphenols which produce nitric oxide, which leads veins to relax and lower High Bp.
NOTE: The recommended amount of dark chocolate is about 1 to 2 ounces (30-60 g), more than this is not good for the long term.
Down Line
Anulom velom raise the oxygen flow in your veins, which cleanses blood vessel, that leads – to normal blood flow, as well as reduce the chance of Heart attack
High in sodium food, which dilates our veins, slows down the flow of blood, and may also cause a heart stroke.
Some examination shows that drinking liquor within the limit can be profitable for heart health.
Meditation is a solution to many troubles, and I personally give you advice that meditation is the best natural thing that could control your High BP.
