Any tips on natural ways to lower blood pressure?
Reenie: Mom of Marine asked:
I have had a lot going on recently, and my blood pressure is showing it!(Last read was 160/90! Eeeesh!)A wedding,(mine)a fundraiser for our local Children’s Hospital,an up-coming son’s graduation and ultimate departure for USMC… Also some on-going health issues to deal with in the mix! I have cut my smoking in half, and switched to drinking caffiene-free soda. Also use Morton’s Lite Salt.What else should I do? I’m taking hydrochlorothyazide 25mg. (Doc called it a water pill?) I HATE taking pills! Any natural suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Stop drinking carbonated or sweet drinks they are loaded with sodium. Try taking some things off your plate to reduce the stress your experiencing. Won’t be much fun getting married when your dead. Re evaluate your priorities, nothing on the face of this planet should mean so much as your health save Christ Himself.
