High blood pressure (quite well-known as a silent killer) is considered as one the biggest risk factors for heart disease and if you are conscious about their heart health, you definitely need to keep your blood pressure under control.

Proper medication is, undoubtedly, a great help, but there are some other ways that can be very handy to keep your blood pressure under control that include:

1. Smoking is injurious to your overall health and blood pressure is no exception, so avoid doing that.

   

Women can easily reduce the risk of developing hypertension and the blood pressure if they drink milk that is fat free along with consuming more calcium and vitamin-D from the food sources, not from additional supplements.

A recently concluded research study published in the American Heart Association’s journal “Hypertension”, revealed this fact. According to the findings of this study, diets of more than 30,000 examined for women who were actually middle-aged and older.

Self-measurement of ‘Blood Pressure’ (BP) leads to less use of anti-hypertensive drugs but worse blood pressure control based on ambulatory measurements, a randomized controlled trial research study has recently concluded.

These findings of the research study were published in the current issue of the journal “Hypertension”. This research included controlled trials and come from the ‘Home versus Office Measurement’. This study also included the ‘Reduction of Unnecessary Treatment Study (HOMERUS)’, a multicenter prospective double-blind trial.
