Traditional Chinese medicine Yeung Ding: You can lower blood pressure without medication! 3 natural hypotensive therapies, be sure to bookmark!
Hello everyone! I am Yeung Ding, the director of the cardiovascular department of a public tertiary hospital. I am your doctor friend, now holding regular consultations at the Hongyun Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.
Many friends with hypertension know that they must take antihypertensive drugs on time every day. If they forget to take their medication one day, their blood pressure will immediately rise, causing symptoms such as headaches and dizziness.
So, is there a way to lower blood pressure without medication? Today, I will share with you 3 “non-drug hypotensive methods”:
1. Eat more potassium-rich foods
Increasing potassium intake helps excrete sodium, which helps lower blood pressure. Therefore, people with high blood pressure should eat more potassium-rich foods such as bananas, oranges, spinach, potatoes, tomatoes, etc.
2. Eat more magnesium-rich foods
Magnesium helps blood vessels dilate and regulate blood pressure. Foods rich in magnesium include millet, oats, soybeans, peanuts, Chinese cabbage, rapeseed, seaweed, beef, etc.
3. Adequately supplement folic acid
Proper folic acid supplementation can improve homocysteineemia and help control blood pressure, reducing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Common foods with high folic acid content include amaranth, asparagus, broccoli, leeks, peas, oranges, hawthorn, pomegranate, walnuts, etc.
