I have a very stressful full time job and, although my blood pressure is still low, my systolic ratings are increasing.
I told my doctor that I am not a candidate for blood pressure drugs and he agreed. Since I maintain an active lifestyle, I decided to try a better diet to eliminate the threat of hypertension.
This diet included three parts: The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet and the addition of White Tea and purified water to my diet. The DASH emphasizes a diet low in Sodium and high in fruits and vegetables with additional supplements like Omega-3 fish oil.
White tea was part of an overall tea study that found that drinking tea reduces the rise of blood pressure and noted that white tea contained the highest level of anti-oxidants and poly phenols that directly contributed to reduction of blood pressure levels. White tea is often considered the purest tea and, in addition to being healthy, it is delicious both on its own or combined with pieces of fruit like melon, ginger or licorice.
Consumption of purified water also contributed to lower blood pressures by removing chemicals that directly contribute to increased levels of blood pressure.
