Consuming a \u00a0 diet rich in plant foods is a great way to start. In addition the following \u00a0 supplements may help one avoid pharmaceutical medications.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Magnesium <\/b>This \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 mineral has a relaxant effect on the nervous system and blood vessel \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 walls. It is commonly deficient in the U.S. diet and is commonly \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 depleted by alcohol and caffeine consumption. It is also thought that \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 high stress levels deplete the body&#8217;s magnesium. Lastly, some \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 pharmaceutical medications cause this nutrient to be depleted.<\/li>\n<li><b>Fish Oil<\/b> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fish oil has several benefits for the cardiovascular system. In \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 particular it reduces the inflammatory response common to many \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 cardiovascular conditions. It also has a blood-thinning effect, which \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 reduces pressure inside the artery walls. Over 31 trials have \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 demonstrated that fish oil lowers blood pressure.<\/li>\n<li><b>CoQ10<\/b> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin like compound that also provides many benefits \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 for the cardiovascular system.<br \/>\nSeveral studies have shown that CoQ10 reduces blood pressure. In one \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 study, researchers followed 109 patients with essential hypertension who \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 were administered CoQ10 in addition to their existing drug regimen. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Participants had significantly improved systolic and diastolic blood \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 pressure, and 51% of patients were able to discontinue use of all \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 pharmaceutical medication.<br \/>\nIn an additional study published in the <i>European Journal of Clinical \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nutrition<\/i> involved a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 study of patients with type 2 diabetes. Subjects who received CoQ10 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 experienced a significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 pressure.<\/li>\n<li><b>Melatonin<\/b> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This over-the-counter hormone is commonly used to help fight insomnia. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Research has also shown it to be beneficial for nighttime hypertension. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This is important, since elevated blood pressure at night injures the \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 heart and blood vessels just as it does during the day.<\/li>\n<li><b>Potassium<\/b> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Potassium is a key mineral for the reduction of blood pressure. It must \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 be maintained in good balance with sodium. More than 33 trials have \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 demonstrated that potassium lowers blood pressure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recommended Natural \u00a0 Approaches Diet and lifestyle \u00a0 changes can do a great deal toward lowering high blood pressure.
