What is an alternative medicine for hypertension. Garlic?

We Answered:

Garlic thins the blood.

Cinnamon lowers bad cholesterol. (You CAN get them in caplets - take the equivalent to a teaspoon full a day.)

DARK Chocolate has heart and artery strengthening bioflavinoids. The darker the better. Milk chocolate does nothing. (1 ounce a day.)

CoQ10 is a heart healthy antioxidant.

Nuts, (almonds being the best) clean out your vascular system. (A handful a day is enough.)

DARK RED fruit juices strengthen your heart.

Daily glasses of Metamucil (or the generic) lowers bad cholesterol.

SMART BALANCE products improve both less bad cholesterol and more good cholesterol.

Tobacco, alcohol and caffeine raise blood pressure - as does stress. So do high fat and fried foods. Cholesterol collects in your arteries - increasing pressure in the blood flow.

Exercise reduces stress.

Join a Gym or YMCA. -- I swim year round.
I take all these supplements, abstain from what I'm supposed to, and enjoy these foods.

My BP is regularly 96/49. My total cholesterol is 153. I am on NO blood pressure meds.

If you have skyrocketing numbers on your readings - make the necessary life changes - and use the meds to help knock the numbers down. Get the water soluble fiber and add it to all sorts of things you cook. Drink lots of water to flush your system properly.

Begin the habit of the supplements WITH the meds... and then talk to your doctor about weaning off when the numbers drop significantly.

God Bless, dear one.

Peace.
