Hypertension is associated with obesity, diet, stress, overuse of stimulants (coffee, tea, ephedra), excessive sodium consumption, cigarette smoking, as well as the use of contraceptive pills and familial history of heart disease. Quitting smoking, reducing sodium consumption as well as caloric intake and eliminating or reducing coffee intake are all helpful. A healthy diet low in saturated fats and refined carbohydrates and rich in soluble fiber, whole grains, legumes and dark green leafy vegetables is very helpful. Increase consumption of calcium, magnesium, Co-Q10 and essential fatty acids such as evening primrose oil, flax seed oil, and fish oils. Stress reduction techniques such as meditation, yoga and deep breathing exercises are also very useful. Flower essences may also be very helpful.
