    As a nephrologist, I take care of patients day in and day out with high blood pressure, and one of the most common complaints I hear in my office is, “Doc, I don’t want to take all these medicines. “I want to lower my blood pressure in a more natural, “holistic way.” That may be possible, but there are levels to this and nuances. So, let’s have a real conversation. Let’s talk about how to lower high blood pressure numbers with some easy and practical lifestyle and diet changes.

    What Is Hypertension or High Blood Pressure?
    According to the American College of Cardiology, the definition of hypertension is a blood pressure reading of 130 over 80 or higher. If your systolic blood pressure, that top number is 130 or greater consistently, or that bottom number, the diastolic blood pressure number is 80 or greater, then I am talking to you and you have hypertension. But, don’t worry, I am going to show you how to reduce your blood pressure numbers with a few easy tweaks in your daily routine.

    Thank you, Dr Frita. Being a health minded person, I have already took the initiative to incorporate many of the things you've suggested into my lifestyle long ago. However, there is always room for improvement so I will be sure to add these additional things such as keeping a gratitude journal ( which I used to do but stop), owning a pet (which I use to do but no longer do), volunteer in my community(which I use to do but no longer do), taking my blood pressure regularly(which I stop doing due to fear of not doing it properly.)
