Lower the pressure

Lowering blood pressure is a useful measure to reduce cardiovascular risk since those suffering from high blood pressure are more likely, compared to healthy subjects, to incur in inauspicious events such as stroke and myocardial infarction.

High blood pressure (implicitly arterial) is a disorder generated by numerous and potential etiological causes; it can be classified into primary (most cases) and secondary (caused by other diseases), and is caused / aggravated by: individual predisposition, overweight / obesity, sodium-rich diet, low potassium diet (and, to a lesser extent, of magnesium), a diet low in omega-essenziali 3 essential fatty acids, a diet rich in saturated fatty acids and simple sugars (related but not necessarily DIRECT), low-fiber diet (related but not necessarily DIRECT), rich diet of stimulants, a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, alcoholism, etc.

It is therefore logical that the diet to lower the pressure should be:

• Suitable for restoring (or maintaining) the normal weight; in case of overweight, the diet to lower the pressure is necessarily IPO-caloric
• WITHOUT added sodium and very poor of preserved foods (salted, immersed in brine, cooked water and salt etc.) or with the addition of sodium / sodium glutamate
• RICH in vegetables, fresh fruit (less vegetables), raw cereals or unrefined flours (weighted by the caloric regime)
• Rich in blue fish (weighted with the caloric regime and replacing fatty meat)
• Poverissima of: fatty, preserved, stuffed and salted meats, fat and seasoned cheeses, egg yolks, foods sweetened with sucrose, glucose or fructose (in excess)
• Very poor stimulants contained in the drinks: coffee, tea, energy drinks, thermogenic etc.

... also ... the lifestyle of the hypertension carrier who undertakes a diet to lower the pressure needs:

• The definitive cessation of smoking
• The interruption of alcoholism and the abolition (sometimes temporary or sometimes definitive) of alcoholic beverages
• The beginning of a path of physical activity, mixed aerobic-strengthening, with a preference for aerobics.

Dietary supplements useful for lowering blood pressure

Dietary supplements to lower blood pressure are: diuretics, extracts of hypotensive medicinal plants; combined potassium, potassium and magnesium, essential omega-3 fatty acids (especially EPA and DHA) and arginine (precursor of nitric oxide).

NB . If hypertension is already compensated pharmacologically, it is good practice to consult your doctor before undertaking a massive dietary supplement.
