Nearly half of adults in the U.S. have high blood pressure (hypertension), which increases the risk for heart disease and stroke, the 2 leading causes of death.
There are different ways to manage high blood pressure. The goal is to lower pressure to a level that reduces the risk of long-term health consequences. If your blood pressure is only a little too high, it's worth changing some of your habits and generally paying more attention to your health.
Only a few methods have been proven to work – so it’s a good idea to focus on what is truly effective:
Diet & Nutrition: Maintain a healthy body weight and eat a heart-healthy diet. The DASH diet is an excellent choice for hypertension.
Regular Exercise: Strengthens the heart and improves blood vessel flexibility.
Stress Management: Practice meditation, yoga, deep breathing, and mindfulness.
Adequate Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep.
Alcohol & Caffeine: Moderate your alcohol and caffeine intake.
Chiropractic Care: Proven to help keep patients active, reduce muscle tension, and stress levels.
Lowering blood pressure naturally is an attainable goal for many seeking to stay off of Rx meds or decrease their dosage. At Swank Chiropractic Sports Medicine, we are happy to monitor your blood pressure in conjunction with promoting a healthy lifestyle and maintaining pain-free movement. Imagine how good it will feel to have consistently lower blood pressure and your PCP takes you off or reduces hypertension medications.
