Home Remedies -- High Blood Pressure

High Blood Pressure, or Hypertension, is nothing to fool around with. There are very, very serious consequences of not getting control of high blood pressure and reducing it to acceptable levels.
You can take your high blood pressure yourself using a home blood pressure kit, and there are self-serve blood pressure stations in many drug stores. A reading of 120/80 is considered the norm. If the lower number is 90 or above, you are considered to have high blood pressure. Medical doctors have many drugs at their disposal for treating high blood pressure.
These drugs are effective but , like all drugs, there are side effects accociated with them.
People who have high blood pressure can use many home remedies to help lower their blood pressure.
The first four are the ones that everybody knows about, but very few can manage to accomplish on their own.
1. Eat a better balanced diet. Eliminate red meat, saturated fats, and processed foods.
2. Exercise more . Even 20 minutes of exercise a day will help to reduce blood pressure.
3. Lose weight, which is a lot easier said than done.
4. Quit smoking, which is also a lot easier said than done.
The real fact is that all high blood pressure is treated at home. The doctor can prescribe medication, but the hard work is up to the patient.
By eating a better diet, exercising more, losing weight, and quitting smoking (all things that are home remedies) a patient with high blood pressure can lower his blood pressure so that he can stop taking medications and with his doctor's blessing.
There are, of course, herbs that are known to lower blood pressure. The most common of these herbs is garlic. Garlic has been used for centuries to lower high blood pressure safely and effectively.
