How to Lower Your Blood Pressure and Finally Get Results From a Diet
Here's a really simple way to lower your blood pressure. Change
your diet. That might sound easy. Well, here's an insider's tip.
It is actually fairly easy to change your diet without too much
of a difference in your lifestyle. You've heard it before, but
fruits and vegetables can make a difference in helping you to
look and feel better. Who wouldn't like that? We aren't talking
about changing everything you eat to fruits and vegetables
(though you'd probably be really healthy afterwards). We are
talking about changing your diet slowly. All good things happen
slowly, so there is no need to rush. Unless you are way
overweight in which case you might want to see a Doctor and have
him advise you on the best quick way to rapid weight loss (if
there is such a thing).
Here is a three part checklist on how to get that blood pressure
down gradually.
1)Eat breakfast. We've tried this. Between eating and not eating
breakfast, we've found that keeping our weight off is easiest
done by eating breakfast. While this might sound
counterintuitive to you, eating breakfast is one of the best
things you can do to keep the pounds off. Think about it. You've
just woke up from 8 hours of no food, most like proceeded by two
hours of not eating before bed. If you wait 4 hours until lunch,
you've effectively starved your body for 14 hours. That's the
majority of a day! When you finally do eat lunch, you are much
likely to overeat and you might confuse
your metabolism.
2)Eat the right foods when you do eat. Unfortunately, the US is
the land of salt and sugar in our foods. While these may really
taste great (we like them as much as you do), we've found that
these delicious ingredients can really pack on the pounds and
keep our blood pressure higher than it needs to be. According to
some health experts, calcium and potassium rich foods are the
best for lowering your blood pressure over time. Off the top of
our heads, we can think of several foods in each category. A
couple of the foods rich in calcium are tofu and cottage cheese.
Try eating some of these types of foods, they might affect your
diet in a nice way. A couple foods rich in potassium are carrots
and broccoli. It seems like no matter how you slice it, fruits
and vegetables are good for you. And come one, while they are
definitely good for your diet, they don't taste that bad!
3)Monitoring. Without monitoring your blood pressure, numbers 1
and 2 above are almost not worth pursuing. You might as well
stay on your current diet. Watch for the signs in your blood
pressure. Some health experts (and Doctors) have signs they look
for in blood pressure. Know them. According to some health
experts, they can make a world of difference.
