Lowering blood pressure can be achieved with modifying the diet. People tend to be scared of the concept of ‘fat’ and do not understand that some fats are actually good for you.

Amanda, your are absolutely right. As the article mentions, black beans are an excellent source for reducing cholesterol. I like eating almonds too. Excellent source of fat and protein.

People in the modern days are so quick to jump to medication without properly analyzing the flaws in their diet. Implementing a healthy diet is so crucial.

I really liked this short and quick article. It is hard to get these few tips since there are so many sources in the web, some that might be illegitimate.

Although I dislike eating fish, I have been eating them because of the rich omega-3′s. I also take a fish oil supplement just to ensure I am getting my proper nutrition.

Lowering blood pressure? Now that is a serious topic that everyone should read and emphasize. I think fitness is another important aspect that most people tend to miss on.
19 February 2012, 12:19 pmChloe Sullivan
I agree Writer4live. Doing brisk walking and exercise helps the heart use oxygen more efficiently, so it doesn’t work as hard to pump blood.

A vigorous cardio regime should do the trick. Everything needs to be implemented i.e eating habits and exercise to help lower cholesterol levels.
19 February 2012, 12:32 pmChloe Sullivan
One thing that an article should point though is the importance of cardio and just breathing. Breathing can help tremendously in all facets of your attempt to lower your levels.

Another interesting thing I learned that eating potassium rich food can tremendously help. So eating bananas can be beneficial.

The Carnival Family Pride List is really a good suggestion to get as far as tracking down your macros and nutrition. I highly recommend it.
19 February 2012, 7:02 pmChloe Sullivan
Sodium intake is highly important as well. Most people tend to eat too much sodium, which retains water making you look bloated and puffy.

I love how everyone has become so health conscious in this age. It shows that you we care even though obesity rates have been sky rocketing. Whats up with that?
19 February 2012, 7:26 pmSamantha Johns
That is a good observation. I think we are impatient at times. We tend to have ‘shortcuts’ and the supplement industries understand that and bombard us with those theories.
19 February 2012, 7:27 pmLinda Mills
Creating a valuable list is undoubtedly. Tracking down exercise and macros is really keen towards achieving an overall longevity.

Dark chocolate is good for blood pressure? BRB, I need to go buy lots of chocolate!
Haha, just kidding. My blood pressure is actually pretty good right now. I checked it last year sometime on one of those machines you find in the pharmacy section of Walmart and other stores, and it told me I was getting into the pre-hypertension range. So I’ve been taking better care to lower my blood pressure, and last month my doctor said my pressure was just fine. So I guess I might have dodged a bullet there.
I also agree that keeping track of what you eat is very important. I keep a list on my computer of everything I eat. But since I don’t always have my computer with me, I write it down on my personalized stationery so I can type it up when I get home. Writing it all down really helps you take more notice of what you eat, and can shock you into changing your eating habits for the better.

I honestly think that the best way to get organized is understanding and prioritizing tasks. The Family Pride Stationery set really helps me achieve this every week. My short term goals transition really smoothly to my long-term goals.

I’ve also heard that taking one aspirin every day can help lower blood pressure. Of course if you can lower your blood pressure through just changing your diet that’s probably the better way to do it, but if necessary (and probably with a doctor’s advice) you can use aspirin too.
And my favorite part – you know what else is good for lowering blood pressure? Red wine! Red wine has antioxidants and stuff that helps lower blood pressure, so a glass of that every day or two is actually good for you.
And sharing the news that you’ve lowered your blood pressure is definitely something that’s worth sending a personalized card about. It’s always good to share news like that.

One of the key things I learned about lowering blood pressure is to that vitamins for heart health. Does any one have suggestions on this?
20 February 2012, 10:25 pmWriter4life
I say that some fish oil, that is your best bet. You can also take Krill Oil or COQ10. These supplements are bit pricy but can good towards lowering health blood pressure.

This blog should have been posted during New Year’s resolution. I am sure that some of us made that a goal to increase our longevity.
20 February 2012, 10:35 pmHelena Johnson- Tampa Bay, Florida
I agree but at the same time it can serve us a good reminder to get back on our goals and aspirations. I tend to write my goals in an Executive Tablet Set. It makes me motivated that I am following my tasks and keeping track of achieving my goals in time.
20 February 2012, 10:36 pmMegan Sora
The Executive Tablet continues to amaze me. Extremely high-quality paper with nice loft white space to write on. Perfect for anyone.

Dark chocolate in my studies is found to be really effective in lowering health risks through moderation intake. That is not to say to go ballistic on chocolates. But dark chocolate does do wonders.

It is easy to get carried away with all the vitamins and supplements that are offered in retail. The first thing you can really do is change your nutrition. Change does not come overtime.
