for hit that like button if you're fired up for this and let's begin okay so generally speaking
any measurement from 140 over 90 millimeters of mercury is considered high blood pressure
otherwise known as hypertension and sadly high blood pressure is known as the silent killer
this is because it increases your risk of heart attacks Strokes heart disease and kidney disease
without you even knowing it now don't worry I've got some good news for you because well-controlled
blood pressure can actually reduce your risk of heart attacks and strokes by 30 I know I know
okay so without further Ado let's jump straight into tip number one then on what you need to do
reduce your salt intake the average person has about 8 gram salt every single day this is way
too much okay we need to be aiming for a maximum of six grams of salt a day preferably less than
that if you can because this is one of the best things that you can do to help lower your blood
pressure naturally so you need to get rid of the Shaker and replace it for herbs and spices instead
in terms of how much is six grams of salt here's a good representation one teaspoon is about six
grams of salt okay do not exceed that triangle a bit less than that if you can okay but do not
exceed that moving on to tip number two cut down your caffeine consumption drinking more than four
cups of coffee a day can increase your blood pressure so what you need to do is reduce your
caffeine intake reduce your coffee intake reduce your energy drinking tip reduce your tea intake
