This includes reducing saturated fats in your diet, reducing the amount of salt you eat, generally eating healthily, limiting alcohol consumption and exercise. If you are overweight, it's important you lose weight and if you smoke you need to stop. Sometimes this is enough to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol to a satisfactory level. However, sometimes it doesn't and/or people may have other risk factors which mean they need to take Statins, etc. There is no evidence that other "natural food supplements" that you buy from Tesco, Waitrose, Holland & Barrett or even ASDA will be of any help.<br><b>References : </b><br>Cardiac RN The "Natural way" is to try diet and lifestyle changes first.

When I was my healthiest and smallest 5'2" tall and 85 lbs. my blood pressure hit 180/106, so I was put on medication. My cholesterol was 104 total and 54 of that was the good stuff. Sometimes you just have to make up your mind you need the meds.. Now my blood pressure is 115/72.<br><b>References : </b><br> Didn’t help me at all with my blood pressure.
