Of all the effective ways to deal with high blood pressure, the most important may be to properly understand the importance of blood pressure. Blood pressure measures the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. Normally, it rises and falls throughout the day, but high blood pressure — also called hypertension — happens when blood pressure remains high.

Health problems caused by high blood pressure usually develop over time and, since high blood pressure is largely symptomless, it is often called a “silent killer,” putting people at risk for several diseases, from heart problems and stroke to eye damage and blindness. About 116 million American adults, or some 47 percent, have hypertension. The urgency, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is that the condition is only under control in about half of the people who have it.

The good news? While some supplements that lower blood pressure, and contain a formula of natural vitamins and herbs that provide nutritional support for healthy blood pressure levels already within the normal range, various basic lifestyle changes can help. Like losing weight, because it has been proven that blood pressure often increases as weight increases; regular physical activity; adjusting diet because reading labels, reducing salt (sodium) and eating a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products and low in saturated fat and cholesterol; quitting alcohol; reducing stress (usually easier said than done) and getting a good night’s sleep can lower high blood pressure.

Some supplements that lower blood pressure include ingredients like:
