Wouldn’t it be great if you could get all of the benefits of a

high blood pressure medication without the damaging side effects?

Well you can if you just know what foods to eat and how to

supplement them with a few good choices. When it comes to

managing blood pressure it often is the combination of the

food and lifestyle choices you make each day that can be the

difference between life long dependency on medication or a

life of good nutrition and health.

The intent of blood pressure medication prescribed by your doctor

is to quickly and continuously lower blood pressure readings for

both the systolic and diastolic readings – the top and bottom

numbers. Sometimes the problem lies with just one of those

readings – either as the heart beats or the pressure between

beats as the heart rests.

Blood pressure medication causes one of three main reactions.

They either increase the size of the blood vessel (vasodilator);

flush out the blood vessel of salt and water and create freer

blood flow with less volume (diuretic); or slow down the heart

beat (beta blockers).

Top 3 High Blood Pressure Medications

1. Doxazosin (brand name Wytensin) is a vasodilator that relaxes

blood vessel walls. Its negative side effects include rapid

heartbeat and fluid retention, so often other medications must

be prescribed to counter act these side effects, which can raise

blood pressure. Also, this medication is associated with some

gastrointestinal problems and impotence.

2. Hydrochlorothiazide (under brand names Carozine, HydroDiuril

or Diaqua) is a potassium reserving diuretic. It is intended to

hang on to the potassium, an important mineral in lowering blood

pressure that can get dangerously low with diuretic usage. The

resulting side effects however are dizziness, muscle weakness and

especially cramping.

3. Acebutolo (brand name Sectral) is a beta blocker intended to

decrease the heart rate and blood flow. The side effects are a

lowering of the good cholesterol (HDL) and a rapid heart rate can

occur if the medication is suddenly stopped.

Get the Same Results without Drugs

To get the same benefits of the most commonly prescribed

medications without the negative side effects there are natural

alternatives. Diet is the number one way to increase the

desirable reactions, but exercise contributes greatly too.

For example, the same reaction caused by vasodilators can take

place when you get enough L-Arginine. This amino acid lets the

walls of the blood vessels relax. You can take a supplement or

get it through animal proteins, peanuts or soy.

By drinking plenty of water, at least 8 glasses each day, you can

accomplish the same diuretic effects of the prescription. You

will flush out excess salt and other toxins that can increase

blood pressure. You can keep your potassium levels in a good

range by eating fresh bananas and potatoes.

Finally, to get the same benefits of a slower heart rate and

freer flowing blood without lowering your good cholesterol you

can keep your heart strong with Hawthorne and through routine

cardiovascular exercise that will allow the heart to work more

efficiently.
