How can you treat your high blood pressure without medications? Well, not surprisingly, it starts with lifestyle changes.
A consistent fitness program based on resistance and weight training, with some aerobic component, improves endothelial function, or the lining of the blood vessel wall, which helps to lower your blood pressure.
A low glycemic diet helps to manage blood glucose, which prevents metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, which is a known risk factor for hypertension. If you have trouble with this, try a continuous glucose monitor.
Prioritize your sleep. Poor sleep hygiene affects your overall health and is a significant risk factor for hypertension.
If you're interested in supplements, magnesium helps to dilate the blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Omega-3s is a powerful anti-inflammatory that actually helps to relax the vessel wall and improve the endothelial function.
