Lower Blood Pressure Naturally, With These 6 Foods, Herbs and Spices..


.
 -Olives – This food is recognized to be one of the healthiest in the world. Oil made from olives has been found to reduce blood pressure. In a study conducted on the importance of olive oil the Frederico II University of Naples Italy discovered that the daily use of 40 grams of olive oil reduced the dosage of blood pressure medication in hypertensive patients by about 50 percent. Polyphenols in extra-virgin olive oil was credited for the significant reduction of blood pressure.

-Garlic - Garlic contains allicin, a substance which has antibacterial, antioxidant, lipid lowering and anti-hypertension properties. In a pilot study made at Clinical Research Center of New Orleans on whether garlic could lower blood pressure, nine patients with severe hypertension were given a garlic preparation containing 1.3 % allicin. Sitting blood pressure fell with a significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure only five to 14 hours after the dose. Moreover, it was proven in a 2009 study that fresh garlic has more potent cardio-protective properties than processed garlic.

-Onions - Onions contain quercetin, an antioxidant flavonol found to prevent heart disease and stroke. In a research study published in the Journal of Nutrition, subjects with hypertension experienced a decrease in their blood pressure by 7mmHg systolic and 5 mmHg diastolic as opposed to those who were taking placebo.

-Oregano - This herb contains the compound carvacrol which has been proven to be effective against blood pressure. In a study conducted on animal subjects, at a University in Turkey, carvacrol was found to reduce heart rate, mean arterial pressure as well as the systolic and diastolic blood pressures.

-Hawthorn - This herb has been traditionally used to treat high blood pressure. In one study conducted in the UK, 79 type-2 diabetic patients were randomized to receive 1200 mg of hawthorn extract while another group received medication for high blood pressure. Results revealed that patients taking hawthorn by the end of the 16th week showed a reduction in their mean diastolic pressure.

Try Juicing for Health

Juicing is the best way to provide your body with an abundance of vitamins and minerals. It also helps detoxify all of the bodies cells. This is my favorite juicing recipe that I consume every morning on an empty stomach. My immune system has always sucked, but ever since I started juicing I haven’t been sick once! I have also reaped the benefits of a lot more energy, glowing skin, and healthier hair. Below is the recipe and the benefits of each ingredient. More recipes coming soon! 

1 small beet root
2 carrots
1 small apple
1 bunch of kale
Small piece of ginger root
1/4 of lemon with skin on

Beet root:
Powerful antioxidant
Boost immune system
Clean and build the blood
Clean intestines
Detoxify the liver
Improve health of the liver, bladder, and kidneys
Improve menstrual problems
Cure anemia
Fight Cancer
Lower blood pressure

Anti-inflammatory

***When beets are juiced, their nutrients become so concentrated and are delivered to the bloodstream so fast that large amounts can actually cause fever, chills and heart palpitations. Therefore, it is important to always mix other juices such as carrot, celery or apple into your beet juice recipes. In addition, do not include too much beet juice in your juicing recipes; for most people, the juice from half a medium beet is sufficient. You can also juice the beet leaves; they also have a high nutritional value.
