The entire month of
February is American Heart Month. Taking care of your blood pressure is one way
of taking care of your heart. It is recommended to meditate before your blood
pressure gets too high. Many yoga poses can help you reduce your blood pressure.
Additionally, you can use bolsters and pillows to help you do the yoga
poses.
The reclining
hero pose helps with the spine, digestion, and blood pressure. Use a mat and
bolsters to lay down on the floor. Bend your legs so your feet touch your
buttocks. Use bolsters to elevate your neck and spine. Your arms should be
spread apart and your hands lying flat on the ground.
Another yoga pose
is the cobra. The cobra pose improves the respiratory system. It also helps
circulate the blood flow. Lay down on your stomach and lift your spine. Keep
your hands flat and bend your arms.
The third yoga
pose is the bridge pose. The bridge pose helps with headaches and your blood
pressure. Have your feet lying flat on the floor. Bend your knees. Lift your
back while you touch your ankles.
Also, sit down on
the floor and repeat a word many times. Practice counting meditation to relax.
Meditation techniques can help lower your blood pressure by making you slow
down. Yoga and meditation techniques are complementary health approaches to
your healthy eating and blood pressure medicine. Consult with your primary
doctor before doing yoga.
Practice
mindfulness while you drink your orange juice. Drinking orange juice helps with
high blood pressure. Add fruits and vegetables that contain potassium. Consult
with your primary doctor about taking care of your blood pressure. Here
