If you start today, you will see a significant change in the conditions that cause you much discomfort and fatigue. The first step is so simple, you may not believe it. I can guarantee you an improvement in 24 hours if you follow just step number one of the following suggestions. Are you ready? Okay, here it is. Drink more water. Pure, clean water. You should drink a minimum of half your body weight in ounces; so if we do the math for a person(let's call her Ginger) that weighs 140 pounds, how much water should she drink in a day? Answer: 70 ounces.
Much of our physical and mental problems can be traced to dehydration. We tend to think of dehydration as a severe condition marked by symptoms of excessive thirst, blistered lips, and cracking skin, however, it may also produce irritability, headache, restlessness, fatigue, and nerve pain. Because our bodies are approximately 80 percent water, it is essential that we consume adequate daily amounts to keep our systems properly flowing. High blood pressure can also be improved by increasing the quality and quantity of water intake. Water literally bathes our cells, tissues,and organs, washing away harmful toxins which may impede our bodily functions. It is also the major component of blood, keeping the blood fluid and in motion, preventing stagnation and 'traffic jams' along the circulatory 'highways'. Think about how you feel while traveling the highways on your way home from work, when suddenly, you run into a traffic jam: the pressure automatically goes up. Well, this is essentially what happen when the blood is full of toxins and circulation is low: the pressure increases. So, step number one is critical.
Next, we must make adjustments in the daily diet. Food is a great motivator, but we should move toward better food choices, not worse. If you know that the foods you eat are full of unhealthy fat, sugars, and chemicals, then don't choose them. Wheat germ oil, almond oil, flaxseed, and olive oil are good fats to include in your nutritional profile. Opt for more health producing foods like fresh green salads, fruits, nuts, legumes, and lightly cooked vegetables. Eat potassium rich foods like bananas, potatoes in their skins, raw beet juice, and dandelion greens. Cucumbers and celery are great to help reduce the blood pressure and are cooling to the body. Instead of coffee try raspberry, dandelion, or green tea. Blackstrap molasses may be a suitable substitute. Mix one teaspoon of Blackstrap in a cup of hot water and sip. Many health problems arise from regular coffee consumption. It prevents iron absorption, increases blood pressure, burdens the nervous system, and overworks the adrenal glands. Notice how heavy coffee drinkers have a typical drawn and sullen facial appearance.
Green smoothies and/or blended salads are praised for being a cornucopia of health building components. Integrate these nutrient dense liquid meals into your life for immediate and long- lasting positive changes in your health. Some benefits include weight reduction, improved digestion and bowel function, lower blood pressure, increased energy level, clearer skin, stronger bones, and better nerve function.
Try these power washing recipes as a natural way to reduce blood pressure:
Juice of 1/2 lemon or lime
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 cup water
Mix well and take one time a day for three days; break two days and repeat if needed
2 bulbs of garlic, peeled
1 pint of Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Add apple cider vinegar and garlic into a large glass container with lid.
Allow to draw fro 7 days, shaking vigorously twice a day
On day 8, strain off vinegar, add cayenne and take 1 tablespoon in 8 oz water
each day. You may add a small amount of agave for slight sweetness

Make the right choices and wash your pressure away!
