Carrot juice consumed in addition to a healthy eating diet can be
of great benefit to those with blood pressure problems. High blood
pressure can be lowered with continued treatment that lasts a lifetime.
But wouldn't it be better to prevent high blood pressure in the first
place? A loss of 10 percent in total body weight can normalize blood
pressure in over weight people. It is vital to maintain a healthy weight
with at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day.
High
blood pressure is the pressure of blood flowing through the arteries at a
higher rate than normal, and that pressure consistently remains higher.
Symptoms occur in some people but not in others. Revealed symptoms
include: headache, difficulty in breathing, apathy, blurred vision,
weight gain, rapid pulse, or dizziness. Men can suffer from impotency
and/or quick ejaculation.
Carrot juice is high in beta-carotene,
which studies show can reduce the risk of heart disease leading to high
blood pressure. Carrot juice helps to maintain normal blood pressure by
regulating heart and kidney functions. A recommended dose is an
eight-ounce blend of one part celery juice, one part carrot juice and
one part water, taken at least once a day.
Carrots are high in
potassium, which can help prevent and control high blood pressure.
Researchers have found that people who take potassium-rich diets have a
low incidence of hypertension. Limiting sodium intake to 1,500 mg a day
will have a dramatic effect on reducing your blood pressure. Another
recipe is equal parts - carrot, celery, parsley and, spinach juice. This
juice helps to alkalize the bloodstream and remove deposits from blood
vessels. Drink 1 pint daily in 8oz or 4oz increments.
Other
vegetables used to treat high blood pressure include: garlic, which
slows down the pulse rate and modifies the heart rhythm. Boiled Potatoes
in their skins are a valuable food for lowering blood pressure. They
absorb very little salt, are rich in potassium and magnesium but not in
sodium salts. Parsley is very useful in high blood pressure as it
contains elements, which help maintain the blood vessels.
Fruit
juice sources include lemon, which is a rich source of vitamin P, found
both in the juice, and peel of the fruit. This vitamin is essential for
preventing capillary fragility.
Low blood pressure can be helped by consuming parsley, capsicum and garlic juice.
Blood
pressure can be lowered and maintained by increasing consumption of
fruits and vegetables in addition to fresh juices. Vegetable juices such
as carrot juice can be a great benefit to reducing blood pressure by
eliminating toxins in the blood.
