Multiple: More and more conventionally trained physicians recognize the value of healthy diet and exercise in regulating weight and blood pressure -- and include these in their treatment recommendations. If the degree of hypertension allows it, most doctors want patients to work on lifestyle issues before adding medications.

Often: Mild to moderate hypertension often responds to weight loss, exercise, meditation and stress reduction.Acupuncture, nutritional changes, and biofeedback. One or more of these may well help.

In many cases yes...: How high is your bp?... In general, studies have shown that both pomegranate extract and garlic may help lower blood pressure. It is important to monitor your BP regularly and to consult with your physician and pharmacist before you any herbal supplements are taken. The quality of supplements variesoso please only use professional grade products such as those provided here: thebluecounter.Com.
