Is your busy life tiring your heart? 4 effective ways to control high blood pressure without medicine

News India Live, Digital Desk: Increase in BP is directly related not only to food and drink, but also to our mental condition and lifestyle. If you are unable to give yourself time throughout the day due to meetings, emails and targets, then these 4 habits can become the key to protecting your heart.1. Stop eating ‘white poison’ and packaged food: When we eat outside food or eat chips and instant noodles in the rush of work, we are unknowingly sending too much ‘sodium’ into the body. This sodium increases the level of water in our veins, which increases blood pressure. Try to reduce the use of salt in food and give up the habit of adding salt on top. Instead of market pickles and spicy snacks, take fresh fruits and salads.2. ‘Heart Reboot’ is just a 30-minute walk. Don’t have time to go to the gym? No problem. Science says that just 30 minutes of ‘brisk walking’ every day gives a new rhythm to your heart beats. This exercise makes your arteries flexible, due to which blood flows easily and BP starts coming down automatically. The fresh morning air will not only provide oxygen to your lungs but will also reduce the workload on the heart.3. Learn to ‘Shut Down’ Stress Our body is not a machine. Being under constant stress releases hormones like adrenalin and cortisol which constrict the veins, increasing blood pressure. For this you should practice ‘deep breathing’ or deep breathing. In between the day’s work, just close your eyes for 5 minutes and take long and deep breaths. It calms your nervous system and gives relief to the body which is on high alert.4. Compromise on sleep means betrayal of health. Do you also remain busy on laptop or phone till late night? Less sleep directly leads to high BP. While we sleep our body is in ‘healing’ mode and repairing nerves. If you do not get 7-8 hours of restful sleep, your heart continues to work in stress mode throughout the night. An hour before sleeping, remove gadgets from yourself and give your mind a chance to calm down.
