In my 10 years of studying nutrition and over 5 years ofhelping others solve their health problems, I have foundthat the experts agree that these steps are some of the mosteffective in lowering blood pressure naturally.

1.CoQ10 supplements – CoEnzyme Q10 or CoQ10For short is a powerful anti-oxidant which is in everycell in your body. Your body uses CoQ10 to deriveEnergy.

In a double-blind placebo controlled study published inThe Journal of Human Hypertension, The group whichtook CoQ10 for just 8 weeks showed a significant reductionof blood pressure.

Also in a University of Texas study, people taking oralCoQ10 after just one month experienced significant lowering of blood pressure and 51% of participants wereable to discontinue blood pressure medication.

As a side note, blood pressure medication prevents the body from not only manufacturing its own CoQ10,but also your body’s ability to absorb CoQ10.recommended dose: 100-200 mg gel caps each day tohelp lower blood pressure.

2.Vitamins, Herbs and Anti-oxidants

The following are Doctor recommended daily amounts.

Vitamin C - 1000 mg
Garlic - 2 cloves
Hawthorn berry - 500 mg
Omega 3 fatty acid fish oil Gel caps - 1000 mg
Vitamin B6 in a natural multivitamin
Magnesium - 500 mg
Astragalus root 500mg

3. Food Sources:

In a Greek study that examined the effects of the Mediterranean diet on 20,000 people proved that oliveOil, Fruits and Vegetables were significantly associatedwith lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Celery - 4 sticks a day, relaxes the smoothmuscles in the blood vessels.

Fresh cold water fish which is high in Omega-3 fattyAcids.

Salt - let’s understand the real reason why salt is importantto your blood pressure.

We’ve all heard that you need to cut down on sodium in your diet, although this is not bad advice, it misses the point. High sodiumintake alone does not increase blood pressure, it is an excess ofsodium to potassium ratio.

The ideal ratio is five times as much potassium as sodium in Your diet.
You’ll get the best results by eating three servings.
A day of potassium rich foods such as:

Bananas – 1 large
Avocados – 1 cup
Beans – ½ cup
Squash – 1 cup
Tomatoes – ½ cup

Low levels of magnesium can also contribute to highBlood pressure, so here are some Magnesium rich foods:

Almonds – 1/3 cup
Tofu – ½ cup
Cashews – 1 cup
Raisin bran – 1/3 cup

And finally lets talk about what level of blood pressure is considered high. Right now the threshold pushed by mainstream medicine is 115/75 – 120/80 which WAS consideredborderline LOW just 5 years ago.

This is because the standard for “high” blood pressure, just likethe standard for cholesterol is repeatedly lowered to put morepeople on medication.
Your individual risk factors and age play a big role in determining what is a good blood pressure level for YOU.

So don’t just accept a one size fits all number when it comesto your blood pressure. Ask questions and discuss your health with a nutritionally educated Doctor to find what isbest for you.
