Question 1

does sorel lower blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Blood pressure: Like most of these 'health foods' its cracked up to have lots of unproven benefits. There is no scientific proof it will help anything other than the person selling it.

Question 2

is vision connected to blood pressure -- i.e. if i lower my blood pressure, might my vision improve ?

Accepted Answer

Not usually, unless: Your vision is only affected by extremely high blood pressure, when the effects of high BP affect the retinal vasculature ;/or optic nerve (malignant hypertension). Furthermore retinal blood vessels can be blocked causing loss of vision. Too low of BP usually causes people to feel faint ; pass out. Too low of BP has been thought to contribute to worsening of optic nerve blood flow. Goal bp: 115/70.

Question 3

how can i lower my blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Many ways...: You can start by life style modifications. Eating right (avoiding salt, for example), losing weight if you are overweight, and getting regular exercise will help to reduce high blood pressure. If you already do these things (or they are too tough to do), there are many different medications prescribed by doctors to help lower high blood pressure (diuretics, beta-blockers, etc.).
