To get your blood pressure down to 110/70, dish up a good dose of egg whites daily and follow these simple tips.
It is an
interesting fact that egg white seem to
lower elevated blood pressure as effective as some medications. They act like
an ACE inhibitor and encourage dialation of blood vessels and urination of
excess salt and water.
- Eat plenty
of plant proteins from broccoli, beans, brown rice and oatmeal.
- Add
soybeans to relax blood vessels and help balance sodium levels.
- Have two to three fistfuls of collard greens
for their calcium and fiber.
- Enjoy dark
chocolate to ease inflammation and relax blood vessels – 30 calories worth a
day does the trick
- Take heart-smart
supplements such as 200mg coenzyme Q10 daily.
Walk 30 or
more minutes a day and eliminate the five food felons from your diet: saturated
and trans fats, added sugar and sugar syrups and any grain that isn’t 100 per
cent whole. That always takes your pressure off.
You are at
the risk of hypertension if you have a genetic predisposition, are obese,
smoke, are inactive, eat too much salt, have diabetes or chronic stress or
don’t get enough sleep.
