Ways to lower your blood pressure

Ways to lower your blood pressure

Exercise: 
Just 30 minutes of brisk walking a day can decrease your blood pressure.

Eat more apples:
The fiber, potassium, Vitamin A and Vitamin C can help reduce blood pressure.

Cut back on salt:
Read labels and look for low sodium versions of foods, or avoid processed food all together.

Eat more dark chocolate:
According to studies, this actually helps!

Reduce noise:
Noise can sub-consciously make us stressed and can cause a raise in blood pressure. Loud noises even when sleeping can cause a spike in blood pressure, so make sure you don't sleep with the TV on or with the windows open if you live in an urban neighborhood.
