High blood pressure is a condition when the blood pressure reading is
considerably higher than 120/90 mm Hg. Usually, both the first and the second numbers are above
limit. But in some cases, diastolic reading is higher than 90; in other cases it is the systolic
level that is higher than 120. Natural Remedies to Lower Systolic PressureHigh blood pressure is generally an age related disease. It is very rare that
you will hear a young person of complaining about it. However, people of age are usually heard
moaning about the fact that their blood pressure is always high. This is because older people’s
blood vessels become weak and their arteries narrow. The heart is then forced to pump harder as the
blood requires more force to circulate. Hypertension can be avoided in older age if a good lifestyle is practised in the
younger years. Our body’s abuse starts when we are young and believe that all the fast food we eat
is not going to have any effect on us. To make matters worse, we also don’t exercise as we are
already quite fit and healthy. However, such a life pattern manifests its adverse effects in the
later years of life usually in the form of high blood pressure. For people who are suffering from an increased systolic level, they need to work
immediately at bringing it down. Besides the OTC drugs prescribed by the doctors, there are also
many natural remedies for lowering the systolic pressure. These natural supplements act with the
body metabolism and have the same effect on blood pressure as medicines. The great thing about
natural remedies is that they are easily available at home and do not require a prescription for
every refill you need. The two most effective natural remedies are:
1. Garlic: This natural ingredient is very beneficial for
lowering a high systolic level. It helps in the thinning of blood which makes it flow swiftly an
also hardens the arteries. Add garlic in whatever you cook. In addition to this, you can also take
two cloves of garlic every morning for two months at least.
2. Lemon: Lemon is a good natural remedy for controlling
systolic level. Drink a glass of water in which half a lemon has been squeezed daily and you will
notice the change clearly. Make sure that you do not mix anything in the mixture.
There are many other natural remedies available for bringing down systolic
level, as your friends or family members would be more than happy to tell you. Take their
suggestions only after making sure that they are going to be beneficial for you.
