What suggestions do you have to treat my hbp without taking tablets. Doctor has given me ramipril and amlodipine. I don't like taking tablets. Am currently dieting and swimming 2/3 times per week.

Natural Options for High blood pressure treatment

From: http:/­/­www.raysahelian.com/­highbloodpressure.html

Eat more fruits and vegetables -- preferably fresh and organic. Eat a variety of vegetables, not just the same tomatoes and salads. Eat more garlic since garlic could lower blood pressure.
Eating more whole grains is helpful in lowering high blood pressure. Reduce or avoid white bread and processed grains. The fiber and other nutrients in whole grains also help lower cholesterol, blood sugar and insulin levels, as well as improve blood vessel functioning and reduce inflammation in the circulatory system.
Reduce salt intake, People with hypertension that isn't controlled by multiple medications are likely eating too much salt. People with so-called resistant hypertension have sharp reductions in their blood pressure when they dramatically reduce their salt intake.
Try to shed some pounds. If you have overeat and have difficulty controlling your appetite, consider Diet Rx natural diet pill.
Learn how to Sleep better and deeper. Consider the occasional use of Good Night Rx if you have trouble sleeping. Lack of adequate sleep can cause or contribute to high blood pressure. Afternoon naps appear to help lower blood pressure, a beneficial effect that does not occur with resting but remaining awake for the same period of time.
Reduce alcohol intake. Regular drinking is known to raise blood pressure in some people. Unlike younger men, men in their 50s who drink even moderate amounts of alcohol generally have higher blood pressure than non-drinkers. Among men in their 20s, only heavy drinkers show elevated blood pressure.
Reduce or stop smoking. Smoking constricts blood vessels.
Try to have less stress in your daily life.
Reduce fat intake, such as meats, lard, bacon, hydrogenated oils -- fats found in fish are good.
Reduce caffeine-intake -- skip that second cup of coffee, substitute caffeine-free herbal drinks, limit herbal teas with caffeine to one or two cups.
Exercise, walk at least one mile per day.
Drink more water.
Drink soy milk and reduce intake of regular milk (see study bottom of page).
Enjoying small amounts of polyphenol-rich dark chocolate daily appears to lower blood pressure.

Do you have any more questions or information to add? Please post back if you do.
