Mild hypertension refers to slightly elevated blood pressure, typically ranging from 120/80 mmHg to 139/89 mmHg. While not immediately dangerous, it increases the risk of developing heart disease or more severe hypertension if left unmanaged.
Naturopathic medicine uses a combination of dietary changes, stress management, exercise, and natural supplements like magnesium, potassium, and hawthorn to help lower blood pressure naturally and improve heart health.
Early treatment of elevated hypertension prevents it from progressing to severe hypertension, reducing the risk of complications like heart disease, stroke, or kidney damage. It also minimizes the likelihood of needing medications in the future.
By addressing the root causes, such as poor diet, stress, or lack of exercise, naturopathic medicine helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels without relying on medications that can have long-term side effects like fatigue, dizziness, or kidney issues.
Foods rich in potassium, magnesium, and fiber are ideal, such as leafy greens, berries, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and fatty fish. Limiting salt, processed foods, and added sugars is also essential.
