Are you stressed out? Who isn't these days. You can lower blood pressure naturally by reducing stress. Stress is believed to contribute to high blood pressure but according to recent studies the long-term effects of stress are as yet unclear.
Stress management techniques may not prevent high blood pressure but they definitely have other benefits, such as making you feel better. Follow is a stress buster that I have been using for a long time with excellent results.
When you take time out from the chaos in your day, you give yourself relief from the effects of stress. And stress is the enemy of healthy blood pressure.
Dr. Herbert Benson, the cardiologist who developed the relaxation response method, found that the following program can lower physiological signs of stress, such as heart rate, blood pressure and rate of oxygen consumption.
Take 20 minutes, one or two times a day and follow these simple steps to avoid a heart attack:
Find a secluded spot where you won't be disturbed.
Get comfortable (either lying down or sitting up).
Focus on something pleasant, such as a peaceful place or a favorite piece of music. Close your eyes.
Breathe deeply from your diaphragm. Breathe in slowly through your nose while counting to four. Exhale slowly through your mouth, completing the count 5,6,7 and 8 while focusing on relaxing your muscles.
Repeat this several times and you will feel the tension slip out of your body.
Let your thoughts wander, but come quickly back to your pleasant focal point if stressful thoughts intrude.
