DON'T take a blood pressure pill every single day!
Five foods in your kitchen do the exact same thing.
And they do it without the side effects.
Here is the breakdown of natural medicine:
1/ BEETS.
High in nitrates.
Your body turns these into nitric oxide.
This relaxes your blood vessels.
It opens them up for better flow.
Drink the juice or eat them roasted.
2/ FLAXSEEDS.
Loaded with omega-3 fatty acids.
Studies show they inhibit the enzyme that narrows arteries.
They also provide fiber to keep your heart healthy.
Grind them into powder first.
Your body cannot digest the whole seed.
3/ GARLIC.
Allicin is the active compound.
It boosts nitric oxide production.
It also acts as an ACE inhibitor, much like your prescription pills.
Crush the clove.
Wait ten minutes for the enzymes to activate before you cook it.
4/ PISTACHIOS.
They have the highest impact on reducing peripheral vascular resistance.
They calm your body during stress-induced pressure spikes.
Eat one small handful.
Choose the unsalted variety to avoid unnecessary sodium.
5/ DARK CHOCOLATE.
Flavanols stimulate the lining of arteries.
This creates a signal for the arteries to relax.
It is not a candy bar.
Look for 85% cocoa or higher.
Small squares daily.
