Do you know how to cure high blood pressure with no medication? Most people would probably say to eat healthy (lower your salt-intake) and make sure you exercise. Unfortunately, most doctors tell you this and forget to tell you the other treatments you can be doing to lower your score and eventually be med-free.
The truth is that doctors are educated in medical schools were natural health and simple 'common sense' secrets are not taught. Unfortunately, medicine and antibiotics are only being taught because our medical industry is completely reliant upon pharmaceutical companies.
But new research is now showing the sometimes medicines are not the only treatment. In fact, some natural treatments are just as effective as their medicine counterpart.
Which is making some think, "Is there something doctors are NOT telling us?"
Naturally Treat High Blood Pressure
High Blood Pressure Medications (Diuretics, Beta Blockers, Alpha Blockers, and Vasodilators) work because they lower your blood pressure. The problem is that they make it look that you are healthy but are your numbers showing the truth?
High Blood Pressure medications work because they synthetically alleviate the pressure of the arteries and blood. For instance, with diuretics the blood will become less salty (less thick) and your pressure with drop. Another example would be beta blockers which synthetically cause the heart to beat slower.
Though these medications look good on paper, they are NOT treating the disease known as the 'silent killer'. In fact, they could be prolonging your life but they will never fully treat the disease. And statistics show that users will eventually die from the high blood pressure.
But what if you could naturally treat high blood pressure.
7 Hypertension Tips Your Doctor Won't Share with You
So you want to know, 'how to cure high blood pressure'? First, you need to know how to prevent high blood pressure holistically. Because curing high blood pressure starts with a holistic treatment. Holistically treating hypertension simply means using the 'whole' body to cure the problem. This is completely different than taking a pill to synthetically thin out the blood.
1. Three Miracle Minerals- If you are suffering from high blood pressure, you should be supplementing your diet with 3 miracle minerals that lower high blood pressure. Magnesium, Calcium and Potassium have been shown to help lower blood pressure.
2. Garlic- Garlic has been shown to benefit the heart, lower cholesterol and lower high blood pressure naturally. The compound in garlic, allicin, is thought to naturally lower high blood pressure. Find a quality supplement today.
3. Folic Acid- Vitamin B which is found in green leafy vegetables reduces homocysteine levels in the blood. This vitamin will lower the risk of heart disease and alleviate the pressure naturally.
4. Apple Cider Vinegar- Many or my customers have found success with apple cider vinegar which contains vitamins C, A, E, B1, B2 and B6, in addition to potassium, magnesium, and copper.
5. Relieve Stress- Do you know there are numerous ways to relieve stress? Breathing exercises, exercising, or reading a book are simple ways to relieve stress and lower high blood pressure. And there are even more than this!
6. Your Diet! You know the major Do's and Don'ts about high blood pressure dieting. Just remember to be eating your water-soluble fibers (fruits and vegetables). Fibers, especially water-soluble, will flush your system and plaque. Also, switch to whole grains! With less plaque in the arteries you will eventually be hypertension-free! Our HBP report goes into great detail about how you can treat hypertension with your diet.
7. Green Tea! It is loaded with antioxidants and research shows it lowers high blood pressure. Whether it is the 'relaxing' factor or the natural herbs in green tea, 1 cup of green tea will be helpful for your health!

Regular Drinking Raises Blood Pressure, Meta-Analysis Affirms
BRISTOL, England, March 4 -- Even moderate alcohol intake over a lifetime may have a marked effect on blood pressure, researchers said.
Action Points
________________________________________
• Explain to interested patients that the meta-analysis supported but does not prove a link between alcohol and blood pressure.
• Note that the studies in the meta-analysis included primarily Japanese men.
Men who averaged three drinks a day had more than twice the risk of hypertension as those who drank little, if at all, reported Sarah J. Lewis, Ph.D., of the University of Bristol, and colleagues online in Public Library of Science -- Medicine.
Men who had one drink a day were at 70% elevated risk, the researchers found.
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure was also elevated "to a much greater extent, even among moderate drinkers, than previously thought," they wrote.
Observational studies have generally found lower blood pressure with moderate alcohol intake compared with nonuse or heavy intake, but those studies had limited ability to control for diet, smoking, exercise, income, and reporting bias.
So to eliminate these sources of confounding, the investigators did a meta-analysis of studies that focused on genetic variations for the enzyme that removes alcohol from the body. "Analyzing individuals by genotype," they said, "is akin to a randomized controlled trial of different lifetime levels of alcohol intake."
While the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) genotype is not associated with confounding factors, people who inherit two copies of the ALDH2 *2*2 variant tend to drink little because their body does not efficiently metabolize alcohol and they become flushed and nauseated after drinking, the researchers said.
The meta-analysis included 10 studies reporting on associations between ALDH2 and hypertension or blood pressure. Most were cross-sectional; all were population-based.
The studies were mainly done in Japan, where the ALDH2 gene variant is common. One small study came from England.
As expected, the investigators found that alcohol intake was highest at around 20 to 30 g per day for men with the *1*1 genotype and lowest at 2 g or less per day for *2*2 homozygotes. Men with the *1*2 genotype had intermediate intake at 10 to 15 g per day on average.
Alcohol intake was minimal among the relatively few women included in the studies, "but studies showed trends in the same direction as men," the researchers said.
Smoking status, sex, and physical activity did not differ between genotype groups. Body mass index tended to be higher among men with the more common *1*1 genotype.
"As alcohol is an energy-dense macronutrient and has an appetite-enhancing effect," the researchers said, "it is likely that the increase in BMI among individuals with the *1*1 genotype is due to their increased alcohol consumption."
In the three studies that reported hypertension outcomes for a total of 4,219 participants, men who drank more were at higher risk.
Men with the *1*1 genotype had 2.42-fold higher risk than those with the *2*2 genotype (95% CI 1.66 to 3.55, P=0.0000048). Men with the *1*2 genotype had 1.72-fold higher risk than those with the *2*2 genotype (95% CI 1.17 to 2.52, P=0.006).
The same effect was seen in the five studies that reported blood pressure outcomes for a total of 7,658 participants.
Mean diastolic blood pressure was 3.95 mm Hg higher among men with the *1*1 genotype and 1.58 mm Hg higher among men with the *1*2 genotype compared with *2*2 homozygotes (P<0.00001 and P=0.016, respectively).
Mean systolic blood pressure was 7.44 mm Hg higher for men with the *1*1 genotype and 4.24 mm Hg higher among men with the *1*2 genotype compared with *2*2 homozygotes (P<0.00001 and P=0.00005, respectively).
Each gram per day of alcohol consumption was estimated to increase diastolic blood pressure 0.16 mm Hg (95% CI 0.11 to 0.21) and to raise systolic blood pressure 0.24 mm Hg (95% CI 0.16 to 0.32).
Although findings could have been caused by pleiotropic effects of ALDH2, "if either pleiotropic effects or confounding by linkage disequilibrium were operating, an effect on blood pressure would be seen in both sexes," they said.
Further large-scale studies are needed to confirm the findings, they noted.
The editors' summary pointed out that "although the Mendelian randomization approach [used by the investigators] avoids most of the confounding intrinsic to observational studies, it is possible that a gene near ALDH2 that has no effect on alcohol intake affects blood pressure, since genes are often inherited in blocks."
The editors also pointed out that in the U.S., one standard drink contains about 14 g of alcohol and in the U.K. 8 g. Recommended daily limits in these countries, they said, are 1-2 units and 3-4 units, respectively.
