Ways to Lower Blood Pressure Before Testing

By Michael Byrd

If you want to know how you can lower blood pressure before testing then trust me because I have the sure-fire answer to that.

And it is reinforced by science.

Do not expect a quick trick on this. We will be doing it based on scientific research so you are assured of a fool proof method.

We start with the basics first then move on to other plans.

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

If you are determined to lower your blood pressure, start a diet that contains whole grains, lean meat, low-fat dairy, lots of vegetables (less the cheese and butter) and fresh fruit.

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

I'm sure some of you have heard of this before, but it is now time to take action.

Begin a regular exercise program. Start by taking short walks then gradually increase it as you gain stamina. Exercise can improve muscle tone, strength, endurance, and circulation.

In the end, it is always good to add light strength training.

As you are doing it, just relax. Leave all your worries behind.

Find things that you love doing. If you like the things that you do, you will feel happy and will worry less. Your feelings will bring your blood pressure up or down.

Lastly, do not forget the need to supplement your diet with nutrients that lowers blood pressure. I have listed some 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 improves the elasticity of the arteries and veins, contributing to 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.

The fact is, try to get a fish oil supplement that has ETA. ETA increases the elasticity of the arteries to lower the 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.

There it is ? several ways to lower blood pressure before testing.

If you do start it today, give it at least one to three months, and then you can go back for another test. - 17273
