Today, I want to share an interesting home remedy that can potentially lower your risk of hypertension.

Many people with high blood pressure are told to reduce their sodium intake. However, a deficiency in sodium can lead to high blood pressure. A low-salt diet can actually worsen your blood pressure.

In my opinion, potassium is one of the key factors in restoring healthy blood pressure levels. Not decreasing sodium—just increasing potassium.

Vitamin D is also important for someone with hypertension, especially essential hypertension.

Insulin resistance is at the heart of metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a combination of hypertension, high blood glucose, fatty liver disease, and high cholesterol. It’s crucial to go on a low-carb diet to support healthy blood pressure levels.

Natural alternatives for hypertension:

1. Consume more potassium (vegetables)

2. Go on a low-carb diet

3. Take vitamin D or get more sun

You can also try an incredible and simple breathing technique to help lower your blood pressure fast. This technique is called paced breathing.

Take six complete breaths per minute. Slowly breathe through your nose using your chest, inhale for five seconds, and exhale for five seconds. Do this periodically throughout the day.

Other potential benefits of paced breathing:

• It can help increase oxygen saturation

• It can help increase exercise tolerance

• It can help decrease sympathetic overdrive
