Home remedies to lower blood pressure are becoming increasingly popular. One of them is to take garlic on an empty stomach or eat a banana a day, especially for women. But it never hurts to have a new ally and Vanilla water lends itself to taking care of your cardiovascular health.
Attorney Elisa Morales Lupayante, of Chilean origin and expert nutritionist, supported the effects of this herb (actually an orchid) to control hypertension.
Likewise, some research claims that vanilla can help you reduce cholesterol levels in the body, being an important home remedy for those at risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke.
In fact, a publication by Mayo Clinic showed that by lowering cholesterol you prevent a disease called arteriosclerosis: accumulation of fat in the walls of the arteries.
How to drink vanilla water to lower blood pressure
Too easy! You just have to prepare an infusion that you are going to let sit for 10 minutes before drinking it. You will need: a vanilla branch and a cup of hot water.
Heat the water and when it is at the boiling point, add the vanilla branch. Stir a little and let it boil for five more minutes.
You can drink vanilla water daily or when you have high blood pressure. It will also help you relieve the symptoms of gastritis and you can use it as aromatherapy, since it works as a stimulant and antidepressant.
In addition to consuming vanilla water, there are other techniques that you can combine to regulate hypertension. There is a “breathing training” that only takes 5 minutes and helps you control your blood pressure.
Likewise, some nuts such as pistachios have the ability to reduce blood pressure while you sleep, so try to consume a handful a day.
And finally, remember that hypertension is also a disease closely associated with your emotional state. It is essential that you regulate the stress of your daily activities, avoid anger and other strong emotions so that you always feel stable.
