High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a common health condition, affecting millions of people worldwide. It’s associated with an increased risk of illnesses including heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease.

Many treatment plans include medication to lower blood pressure, but there are also a number of changes you can make to help improve your blood pressure naturally.

Doing more exercise, quitting smoking, cutting down on salt and alcohol, and finding ways to manage stress are all good for your overall health and may be effective in lowering blood pressure.

Eating a healthy diet based on fruit and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein, is a particularly effective way of lowering blood pressure, and it can contribute to better gut health, too.

Speak with your doctor about high blood pressure and before making any changes to your regular medication.
