Tips to Lower Blood Pressure.......by Punit Agarawal

Are you worried about your high blood pressure? Sometimes,
negligence and ignorance can pay a heavy price. Here, I have
compiled a few simple tips for you to bring your seething blood
pressure down.

1. Relax. It is one of the mantras for a healthy living. Meditation
and yoga can bring inner peace and control anger and rush of
adrenaline.

2. Exercise can control your shooting blood pressure. If you are
not used to used to exercise then try walking for half and hour and
yoga. But, at any cost, regular physical activity is a must. It
helps blood circulation and your cardiovascular capacity.


2. Watch your sodium and salt inake. For this, eat home made foods,
unsalted nuts, avoid instant soups and read labels of ready made
foods. Also eat fresh food as far as possible.

3. Reduce alcohol intake and quit smoking.

4. Drink water upto 3-4 litres. Excess sodium in your body will be
flushed out with increased water intake.

5. Eat avacadoes, bananas, oranges, dried apricots, prunes and
raisins, nuts like pistachios, seeds of pumpkin, sunflower, squash
and flax. Include dried herbs like tulsi, parsley, coriander
leaves, spinach and the like in to your diet as they are rich in
potassium. Poutry, eggs and meat also contain potassium.

6. Calcium may help to regulate blood pressure. Get 1000 mgs of
calcium if you are between 19-50 years old and 1200 mgs if you are
above 50.

7. Magnesium deficiency is often seen in hypertensive patients.
Hence eat green leafy vegetables, whole grains and dry peas and

regulate blood pressure.

10. Have sugar free dark chocolate as it is a clinically proven
blood pressure regulator.

Simple do's for serious acidity .....

If you have been suffering from acidity, some changes in your
lifestyle can definitely ease your discomfort. However, chronic
acidity needs diagnosis and prompt treatment.

1# Stress is a villain in our lives that lead to a variety of
health concerns. Acidity is just one among them. Practising
meditation or yoga is a great stress buster.

2# Eating and drinking according to your body constitution is very
important. If you are acidic avoid alcohol, tobacco, smoking,
coffee, tea, soft drinks, sodas, sweets, processed foods, citrus
fruits, spicy masalas and fatty foods. At the same time, do not
over eat or go about with an empty stomach.

3# Eat at a regular time. Time your meal without long gaps in
between and follow the same time table everyday. Taking small meals
at regular intervals of (2-3 hours)is ideal. Also, relax when you
are eating!

4# Don't slouch while eating or drinking. Maintain a straight back
and proper body posture always.

5# Never lie down immediately after eating. It is better to walk
slowly for a few minutes after the meal. Avoid afternoon naps as
you tend to sleep immediately after lunch and will remain awake
late night as you have slept ealier in the day. Eat your dinner at
least two hours before bed time and elevate the head of the bed for
relief.

6# If you are overweight, the excessive fat in the abdominal cavity
increases the pressure inside it causing the food contents inside
the stomach to flow back to the oesophagus (reflux). So get active
and lose weight. A sedentary lifestyle can cause havoc in your
life.

7# Wear loose clothes. Avoid tight belts.

8# Avoid late night browsing or movies. Go to bed early and wake up
early.

Water intake, if insufficient can aggravate acidity and stomach
problems. Hence, it is important to take at least 3 litres of water
a day. Coconut water, carrot juice, cumin water, fibrous foods,
mint, fresh fruits like water melon, cucumber, banana are good to
be taken regularly. Using black pepper instead of chillies, ginger
in moderation, taking liquorice and amla are healthy if you have
acidity.
