10 Hypertension Remedies – Lower High Blood Pressure

Lose Excess Weight

The overall body weight and blood pressure are closely related. Shedding ten pounds can go a long way in lowering blood pressure. The total body weight measured on the scale is crucial, but the waistline is also essential for controlling blood pressure. Abdominal fat or visceral fat around the waist is hard to burn. Typically, it surrounds the abdomen’s organs, and it could require intense exercises or moderate exercises to burn.

The presence of fat around the organs in the abdomen can cause severe health problems, including hypertension.  A 2016 review [2] of different studies showed that weight-loss diets reduce blood pressure by an average of 3.2 mmHg diastolic and 4.5 mmHg systolic.
