Ways to Lower Blood Pressure Before Testing

By Michael Byrd

Do you want to know how you can lower blood pressure before testing? I have the perfect answer to that.

And it's supported by science.

We will not use an instant fix here. We will do things methodically, using science as our source. So there's no need to worry because you won't be subjected to experiment.

We can start using the basics first then apply tactics later on.

If you are a smoker, stop. Smoking is dangerous to your health and you know that.

And if you are really earnest to lower your blood pressure, you should start watching your diet. It is best to use a diet of whole grains, lean meat, low-fat dairy, plenty of vegetables (minus the cheese and butter) and fresh fruit.

Try to stop or minimize your intake of alcohol, caffeine and sweets.

You have probably heard about this, and it's about time to really take action.

You need to get on a regular exercise program. Regular exercises help you get good muscle tone, strength, endurance and proper circulation. You can start it with short walks and slowly increase as you get more stamina.

In time, it would be nice to add light strength training.

While you are doing it, learn to relax. And I mean really stop worrying about the things that bother you.

Look for things that you have fun doing. When you do this, you will feel happy and less worried. It does help to bring down your blood pressure.

And finally, begin supplementing your diet with nutrients that can lower blood pressure. I have enumerated it below and explained why.

Vitamin E enhances good circulation. It is believed to improve the viscosity of blood. It promotes good circulation as it softens the consistency of blood.

Vitamin C that is sourced from whole foods strengthens collagen and this is the one responsible for the elasticity of the arteries and veins, allowing for a good blood circulation.

Scientific studies also tell us that a supplement of essential fatty acids and regular exercise helps to lower blood pressure; fatty acids that can be found in whole grains and fatty fish works best. So try to keep away from flaxseed, borage and primrose oils.

Fact is you need to get a fish oil supplement that has ETA. ETA is known to improve the elasticity of the wall of the arteries, helping to lower blood pressure.

And last but not least, use garlic tablets. Take it at night since it has been known to reduce blood pressure.

Find a good brand, but do not buy deodorized tablets. They are just marketing gimmicks. It is allicin in garlic that gives it the undesirable odor, but is also the one giving health benefits as well. You can try coated garlic. The odor is eliminated but it works well.

So that's it ? ways to lower blood pressure before testing.

If you plan to start today, give it one to three months and see what happens to your test. - 17269
