9 ways to reduce blood pressure naturally

Physical Exercise
To keep your heart healthy it needs exercise to keep fit so that it can pump blood through your body. Aim for 30 minutes of reasonable exercise a day. Keeping fit is good for your physical health and keeps your blood pressure under control.

Well Rounded Diet
A balanced diet can help to reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure. Plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, fish, wholegrain bread, and rice. Try to cut down or avoid altogether foods that are high in saturated fats and sugar – like biscuits, cakes, pastries.

Too much salt can lead to hypertension. Eat less processed foods with a high salt content. Avoid pouring too much salt on your meals and use naturally harvested sea salt for additional nutrition.
