Treating High Blood Pressure locally

Hey Guys😊😊😊


Hypertension or High Blood Pressure (HBP) runs in my family so this post is especially dear to me 😔😔😔😔.   .
According to the Ministry of Health, 
1 in 4 persons in the country is living with HBP in 2011.

• It is a medical condition where one’s blood pressure is abnormally high, i.e. great than 140/90 when resting.
• Most persons (1 in 3) with high blood pressure do not experience any symptoms however some persons may experience dizziness, chest pain, shortness of breath and nose bleeds.
• HBP can cause damage to organs such as the kidneys, the heart and the brain. If left untreated it can lead to a heart attack and heart failure.
• HBP can be significantly reduced through:
• 30 minutes of regular physical activity e.g. brisk walking or gardening.
• Limiting alcohol consumption.
• Adopting a healthy diet
• Stop tobacco use.
• Manage stress levels

These easy and natural recipes can be used to treat HBP along with proper diet and exercise.

Of course most Trinis have utilized recipe #1 but not to treat HBP but rather for stomach issues such as bloating or gas😏😏. As we know all too well, these recipes have multiple uses 😆😆😆     

I must caution that "too much of one thing is good for nothing" so be vigilant about how your body feels/reacts if you decide to try any of these recipes 

Please consult your Doctor BEFORE including these recipes in your treatment plan.
