Lowering blood pressure
Diet and exercise are obviously important for lowering blood pressure. But aside from those, here are a few other ideas that might help.
Exercise
- Endurance
- Isometric (e.g., planks, leg lifts, etc.)
Supplements
- L-arginine: 4g to 30g per day
- Magnesium: more than 300mg per day
- Garlic: usually 600mg to 900mg per day (but some trials went as high as 2400mg per day!)
- Potassium: 3500mg per day
- Spirulina: 1g to 8g per day
- Calcium: 1000mg to 1500mg per day
Miscellaneous
- Tracking blood pressure in an app, website, or similar
- Mindfulness-based meditation
- Renal sympathetic denervation (for cases of sympathetic overdrive, which may not apply to me)
