What the heck is ....... High Blood Pressure Continue.....

Go two rounds and out

Make the second drink of your night your last call for alcohol.  In a landmark study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers found that one or two drinks a day actually decreased blood pressure slightly.  Three drinks or more a day, however, elevated blood pressure by an average of 10 points systolic and four points diastolic.  The type of alcohol doesn’t matter.  Heck, order a screwdriver: orange juice is one of the best sources of blood pressure – lowering potassium.

Drink more tea

An American study showed that men who drank two cups of tea a day were 25% less likely to die of heart disease than men who rarely touched the stuff. The reason: flavonoids in the tea not only improve blood vessels ability to relax but also thin the blood, reducing clotting.

Top your toast

Blackcurrant jelly is a good source of quercetin, an antioxidant that Finnish researchers believe may improve heart health by preventing the build up of the free radicals that can damage the arterial walls and allow plaque to penetrate.

Grab a Granny (Smith).

Men who frequently eat apples have a 20% lower risk of developing heart disease than men who eat apples less often.
