TrueBlue brand Blueberry Pomegranate juice seems very effective. A medicine might be cheaper on a daily basis. This comes in at about $4.00 a half gallon, and you only need a few ounces at a time, diluted with water 2 or 3 or 4 to 1. Just being dehydrated will also raise her BP. Mine is always up 10-20 points when I get up in the morning, since I did not drink anything overnight. Foods with arginine help with arterial elasticity. Snacking on nuts occasionally is good there. Regular light exercise will help too. As folks get older there is just more blockage, so the heart has to work heart to push the blood around. |

Cut back on her sodium intake. I had very high blood pressure and the moment I cut back on the sodium it went down quite a bit. |

First of all, how old is she? She might want to try walking about ten to fifteen minutes daily to reduce it. Also, she can relax that usually solves high blood pressure. Some foods also can help. Have her try eating more fruit. |

one easy way is to not watch tv shows or movies that excite her ... cause if she gets excited, whether it's good or bad (watching the news or something that makes her go "oh no") can raise her blood pressure. eating dark chocolate (preferably raw if she can stand the taste) w/ the highest amount of cacao in it helps! acupuncture. red wine. Cutting salty foods from your diet. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and fewer fatty foods. This can help you with your weight. Eat more fiber. Fiber is in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. The DASH sample eating plan can help keep blood pressure down. The menus are rich in vitamins and minerals that can help with blood pressure. http://www.1on1health.com/web/info/hypertension/english/diet-for-high-blood-pressure/Content Eating healthy foods will give you more energy. |
