One lady joined Dr. oz with her story of how her mom died from a heart attack and her Mom’s Mom also died from a heart attack, it runs in the family and she herself has had high blood pressure and on medication for the last ten years. She said her cardiologist told her she could get off the meds if she dropped the weight. Dr. Oz told her that’s number one reason to lose the weight as far as he is concerned

120/80 Your ideal blood pressure

140/90 Hypertension

The top number is called the systolic blood pressure, and the bottom number is called the diastolic blood pressure.

Normal blood pressure is when your blood pressure is lower than 120/80 mmHg most of the time.

High blood pressure (hypertension) is when your blood pressure is 140/90 mmHg or above most of the time.

If your blood pressure numbers are 120/80 or higher, but below 140/90, it is called pre-hypertension.

Many factors can affect blood pressure, including:

  • How much water and salt you have in your body
  • The condition of your kidneys, nervous system, or blood vessels
  • The levels of different body hormones

You are more likely to be told your blood pressure is too high as you get older. This is because your blood vessels become stiffer as you age. When that happens, your blood pressure goes up. High blood pressure increases your chance of having a stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney disease, and early death.

Treatments For High Blood Pressure

Hibiscus Tea – Lower you blood pressure with Hibiscus tea, it has natural diuretics in it that act like water pills. Drink 1 cup daily of the hibiscus tea and it can have the same benefit as a lot of anti hypertensive medications.

The 3rd way to lower your blood pressure is to expose your ears, move the hair out of the way, there is an acupressure point that is proven to be effected with blood pressure. Take the tip of your fingers on each side of your head and line it up on the skull directly above the tip on the top of the ear and make a line from both ears to the top of the head and stop directly at the top of the skull. Now take one of your hands and leave the other with index finger on the pressure point at the top of the skull and put it on your stomach.

Move your finger in a circular motion on the top of your head, take a deep breath in then push your belly out, then relax the belly, repeat this twice a day for a couple of minutes especially if you have stress in your life.
