Beta Blockers Natural Alternatives Will Help Your High Blood Pressure – Without the Side Effects
If you have high blood pressure, you definitely need to do something about it. High blood pressure means you have an increased risk of having a heart attack or stroke.
Doctors often treat high blood pressure with beta blockers and calcium channel blockers.
But taking them over a long period of time can lead to dangerous side-effects, including possibly making your heart muscle and some blood vessels weaker. Beta blockers may also cause impotence, fatigue, and can also cause your cholesterol levels to increase.
Natural remedies are of course much more green and eco friendly. They’re better for the environment, and they don’t have side-effects so they’re better for you too.
So it just makes sense to look for beta blockers natural alternatives, and make sure you check your health regularly to make sure you’re still on track.
Let’s look at some calcium channel blockers and beta blockers natural alternatives. They all can help to reduce your blood pressure without dangerous side effects.
Anti-Inflammatory Diet
One of the most important things you can do is to follow an anti-inflammatory diet.
This means eating whole foods as much as possible and eliminating processed foods containing preservatives, artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, and sugars. Lots of yummy fresh vegetables and fruit are key!
(Eating this way is good for your overall health anyway).
Something else that’s important when you have high blood pressure is to reduce your sodium (salt) intake. But the good news is that when you eat healthily and avoid processed foods, you’ll do that naturally!
Water
Drinking more water will also help your body to eliminate toxins and naturally reduce your blood pressure.
How much water do you need to drink? Well, a commonly used measurement is to drink at least half of your body weight in ounces. (That’s quite a lot of water!).
So, for example, a 150 pound person should drink around 75 ounces of water. In metric, if you weigh about 68kg, you should drink about 2 litres of water a day.
If you weigh more than that, drink more water. Less than that, drink less.
Supplements
Although a healthy diet will provide most of the nutrients that you need, you may wish to consider some supplements that are very useful for helping with high blood pressure.
- Adding Co-Q10, a coenzyme that helps your body to perform processes more efficiently, can help to protect your heart.
- L-taurine and L-carnitine are also essential to your heart function. These are amino acids that your body needs in order to protect your cells.
Taking these supplements on a daily basis is associated with decreased risk of heart attack, arrhythmia, and stroke. Chat to your health professional to find out if you are getting enough of these items naturally through your diet. If not, consider the supplements.
Summary
Natural alternatives are often better than drugs, especially if you need to take them long-term. But be sure to regularly check your blood pressure levels and heart health, to make sure you’re still on the right track.
An anti-inflammatory diet is one of the best things you can do for yourself – it has loads of benefits for all aspects of your health – and there are no side-effects! Drink lots of water too, to remove toxins and help improve your circulation. Add some heart-specific supplements as well if you wish, although a healthy diet should provide most of what you need.
