Suffering from high blood pressure - #1499

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is like that unwanted guest that just doesn't want to leave! Yeah, it can be a bit stubborn, but you bet it can be managed, and sometimes reversed with dedication and a mix of Ayurvedic practices. Now telista MT 50, it's doing its job to keep the numbers in check, that’s important. But! there are ways to nudge your body back towards balance from the Ayurvedic perspective. First off, let’s talk food. A light, easily digestible diet helps keep things calm. Eating fresh fruits like pomegranates and vegetables such as spinach can be beneficial. Avoid heavy, oily, and very salty stuff (sad to say goodbye to those potato chips, huh?). In Ayurveda, we’d say avoid aggravating kapha and pitta doshas. Breathing exercises (pranayama) like anulom vilom does wonders. Just sit tight, close your eyes, and do deep breathing for 10-15 minutes each morning. Seriously, this one small step can be huge for blood regulation. Ayurveda also loves its herbs... Arjuna tea is celebrated for heart health. A teaspoon of Arjuna powder in warm water twice daily might become your new go-to. But keep in mind, always touch base with your current doctor before adding anything new. Stress too got a part to play, always hanging around huh? Meditation can ease mental tension. Seriously give it a try at least 5-10 min a day to start calming the mind. Of course, maintain those regular check-ups as you've been doing - that’s being smart. Keep your current doc in the loop and don't ditch the telista till they say so. It's great your tests are good - that's half the battle. Remember! you're steering the ship of your health. With Ayurveda's compass, the journey can be smoother and even enjoyable on the way to better numbers.
