[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 1348864, member: 256617"] Hi [USER=38433]@tigerlily72[/USER], I read your profile and hope you don't mind me putting my couple of observations in, as I am trying to fight hypertension without drugs. I have to say this battle feels harder to me than diabetes as there is no magic bullet and I feel more nervous waiting for my BP unit to complete it's third run than taking my FBG reading. Anyway I have had some success recently as below: [ATTACH=full]21550[/ATTACH] What is currently working for me may not help you, but I will put it out there just in case and maybe for others (apologies if you have already done most of this, I note that you walk and diet already). Here's what I have done recently which coincides with the last month of good readings: [LIST] [*]Increased my HiiT weight training [*]Actively gave myself some time for mindfulness (I used Deepack Chopra) [*]Used my Nutribullet for Water, Kale, Cinnamon, Tumeric, Ginger, Cucumber, Celery and Blueberry smoothy (horrible taste, but mixed with BP / inflammation removal in mind, based on Ms Google) [*]Used Camry handgrips for 2 minutes at a third maximum grip, with 2 minute rest x 3 each day (based on Trust Me i'm a Doctor experiment, which proved a significant drop in a test group last year) [*]Went to bed an hour earlier [/LIST] I am not sure if one or two of the above had a major impact, and I am by no means saying I am resolved as this will be a constant battle, but due to my obsessive testing I know one of the above has provided a change over the last month. I know the use of hand grips are meant to widen the arteries ([URL]http://www.resperate.com/recipes-health-tips/simple-handgrip-exercises-gets-a-thumbs-up-for-lowering-blood-pressure[/URL]). If you or anyone chooses to do the above please discuss with your Doctor first especially if figures are near 180 / 110 (seen this figure in several cross references). [/QUOTE]
