🧂 Measures to lower blood pressure WITHOUT medication

💡 The first measures that we as cardiologists recommend for every patient with high blood pressure involve modifying their daily habits towards a healthier lifestyle.

🍎Here are 5️⃣ measures to reduce blood pressure without medication:

1) ⬇️Lose weight. The more weight, the higher the blood pressure, so reaching the ideal weight is essential. It's estimated that blood pressure decreases by 1 mmHg for every kilogram of weight lost.
2) ⬇️Reduce salt intake. Salt can cause hypertension by damaging arteries and retaining fluid in the body. The initial goal is to consume less than 2 grams per day of sodium (with an ideal target of less than 1 gram/day) or 5 grams of salt (sodium chloride). One strategy is to replace sodium salt with mixed salts containing potassium.
3) Physical exercise🏃‍♂️. Aim for between 150 to 300 minutes of aerobic activity per week. This can reduce your blood pressure by up to 8 mmHg.
4) 🥑Healthy cardio diet. Consuming a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products, with reduced saturated and total fats, can reduce your blood pressure by up to 11 mmHg. The DASH diet embodies these characteristics.
5) Increase potassium intake. Incorporating or increasing foods high in potassium in your diet is heart-healthy. The goal🎯 is to consume 3 to 5 grams of potassium per day through food. This measure can reduce your blood pressure by up to 5 mmHg.
