NATURAL REMEDIES FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
Watermelon
The watermelon fruit is your #1 natural remedy for high blood pressure. It contains an amino acid called L-citrulline, which has been overwhelmingly proven to lower blood pressure. L-citrulline was able to reduce and normalize blood pressure in all the study participants who previously had high blood pressure. Head researcher, Dr. Arturo Figueroa, stated...
"Individuals with increased blood pressure and arterial stiffness - especially those who are older and those with chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes - would benefit from L-citrulline in either the synthetic or natural (watermelon) form".
You need 4-6 grams of L-citrulline a day to treat hypertension so supplements will be needed along with eating and drinking plenty of organic watermelons and watermelon juice!
Pomegranates & Resveratrol
A recent study published in the journal Artherosclerosis journal showed that consuming 50ml a day of pomegranate juice will significantly lower blood pressure. Another study published in the journal Metabolism showed that resveratrol (red grape skins) also help to lower blood pressure because of their high antioxidant content (antioxidants help dilate and strengthen blood vessels). These natural remedies for high blood pressure must be consumed everyday in sufficient amounts so you will need to make sure you eat plenty of red grapes and pomegranates (and drink their juices).
Cayenne Pepper
Eating or supplementing with cayenne pepper every day is one of the quickest ways to lower your blood pressure. It's a potent vasodilator, which means it expands and dilates the blood vessels so blood flow is improved. This in turn relieves pressure on the arterial walls and the need for the heart to pump faster. Cayenne pepper has been reported to actually stop a heart attack in about 90 seconds flat! You must have a full teaspoon in a glass of warm water for it to work, and it will be mighty hot to drink (you need to scull it down), but this is definitely one potentially life saving remedy worth remembering.
