When you are diagnosed with high blood pressure, you are almost certainly advised to lose weight, take more exercise and improve your diet. This advice was most likely related to a prescription for synthetic drugs against hypertension. In recent years, studies have shown that some natural treatments are as effective as prescription drugs. This raises the question: Do doctors not tell us something?
The truth is that a lot of things don't tell us how to treat our condition. This is partly due to:
- the way to train doctors
- dependence of medical services on pharmaceutical products; and
- general lack of understanding of natural remedies.
The irony is that pharmaceutical companies are developing products that mimic the effects of these natural remedies for treating hypertension.
10 secrets of hypertension that your doctor will not tell You
Secret number 1: Hypertension is not a disease. This is actually a vital sign telling you that there is something wrong in your body that increases your blood pressure.
Secret number 2: The only way to “cure” your condition is to deal with the root cause or causes. Your doctor prescribes medicine to control your condition, because he does not have time to investigate all possible causes.,
Secret number 3: In many cases, lifestyle factors contribute to or even cause our condition. We do not need medicines to improve our lifestyle.
Secret number 4:Medications prescribed by your doctor are related only to the symptom, not to the problem.
Secret number 5: Accept and follow the principles contained in the Dietetic Council to stop hypertension (DASH diet). There is credible evidence that this advice, if strictly followed, can reduce your BP testimony to a normal level in just three weeks. Even if it takes more time, evidence suggests that the diet makes the medicine you are taking more effective, resulting in a lower dosage.
Secret number 6: Eat three or four cloves of fresh garlic per day or take a quality supplement. Our blood pressure rises when our body increases the production of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Garlic contains a natural ACE inhibitor. This, combined with the large amount of allicin found in garlic, gives it the ability to dilate arteries, thereby reducing our blood pressure. If ACE inhibitors are familiar to you, this is because synthetic versions are often assigned to your condition.
Secret number 7: Keep properly hydrated. General advice: our bodies need two liters of water per day to maintain health. You can substitute fresh homemade juices such as beets, carrots, celery, or cranberries for part of this daily requirement, as they are known to lower blood pressure.
Secret number 8: Replace your caffeinated drinks with green tea. For people with our condition, caffeinated beverages are like throwing gas on a fire. Green tea is low in caffeine and is loaded with antioxidants, which have been shown to reduce hypertension.
Secret number 9: Drink an infusion made from hawthorn extract every day. Hawthorn is another potent natural ACE inhibitor. It is also a mild diuretic drug that lowers blood volume. Synthetic diuretics are another drug commonly prescribed to control your condition. Sometimes they are used in combination with other drugs, such as ACE inhibitors.
Secret number 10: Relieve stress. It is well known that stress can cause hypertension. Try deep breathing exercises by reading a book or listening to relaxing music. The practice of meditation or deep relaxation are also effective ways to eliminate physical and mental stress, thereby reducing hypertension.
Now you know these 10 secrets of hypertension that your doctor did not tell you, you can see how your condition is being treated. Naturally, reducing your high blood pressure to a normal level is not only possible, but not difficult.
