Kitchen Tips For Beating Hypertension

                                                                                                                                                                          Hypertension is known as a silent killer. More than the condition itself, it is the variety of health problems which arise because of Hypertension that makes it such a threat to your health and wellbeing. Many people with Hypertension go on for years without realising its presence. By then, the damage has been done – your body becomes the breeding ground for various problems like heart disease, kidney malfunction and even stroke.

In the battle against Hypertension, many people forget just how effective home remedies can be. These traditional remedies are made using ingredients which can be found in most Indian kitchens. These home remedies can help you combat the ill effects of Hypertension. Moreover, these remedies can work with the medicines you have been prescribed so as to give you an added layer of protection.

Home remedies for Hypertension

1. Garlic: This is one of the most common remedies which people with Hypertension rely upon. Garlic is rich in a highly reactive compound called allicin. Regular consumption of garlic helps to bring down high blood pressure and reduce the intensity of associated symptoms like dizziness and blurred vision.

· Take two cloves of garlic and beat them into a thick paste.

· Pour the paste into a cup of lukewarm milk and mix well.

· Drink this once in the morning and once at night.

2. Lemon: Having lemons in your daily diet helps to keep the blood vessels soft and pliable, which in turn reduce the damage caused by Hypertension on the circulatory system. The vitamin C present in lemon juice is a potent antioxidant which protects the body from oxidative stress caused by free radicals.

· Add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice into 1 cup of warm water.

· Stir well and drink it on an empty stomach every morning after waking up.

3. Onion: This common kitchen ingredient has high concentration of a powerful antioxidant called quercetin, which works to gradually bring your blood pressure to the normal levels.

· Blend half an onion in a mixer-grinder until it becomes a thick paste.

· Add 2 teaspoons of honey and mix thoroughly.

· Take this twice a day for at least 1 week.    

4. Beetroot: Regular consumption of beetroot helps to release stress from the blood vessels and aids in proper blood flow. This in turn keeps the blood pressure under control and reduces the symptoms of Hypertension while simultaneously promoting overall cardiovascular health.

· Take 1 small beetroot and half an apple and blend it in a mixer-grinder until it becomes a thick paste.

· Pour the paste in a glass of water.

· Add a little lemon juice for taste and mix well.

· Drink this once in the morning every day. 

5. Vegetable juice: Vegetables like carrots, spinach and parsley can play a vital role in keeping your blood pressure under control. These vegetables can also help maintain your overall health.

· Put 1 carrot, a clump of spinach and some parsley in a mixer-grinder and blend it until it becomes a thick paste.

· Add the paste into a glass of water.

· Add a little honey for taste.

· Drink this once every day.
