Here are four ways to help naturally lower your blood pressure without the need for prescription drugs:

1) Eat lots of garlic and onions, take garlic supplements. Writing for Mother Earth News in a 1997 review, Christopher Nyerges explains how eating lots of garlic and onions, two onion types from the medicinal Allium genus, can help thwart hypertension, lower circulating cholesterol, and prevent influenza and various other health conditions. Citing numerous scientific studies and a cohort of information he gathered from various medical journals and doctors, Nyerges highlights the ability of both garlic and onions to quell the arterial inflammation that often leads to high cholesterol, as well as prevent the sticking together of blood platelets following high-fat meals that may lead to clotting.

GREEN SMOOTHIES
Blends of fresh or powdered green vegetables such as kale and spinach with fruit can provide your five–a–day in one serving. They're packed with fibre, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to boost vitality and health.

The experts say: "Most of us don't eat enough fruit and vegetables so smoothies are a better choice than juices as the fibre content is retained," explains nutritionist Sara Stanner from The Nutrition Society. "However, a range of fruit and vegetables is important because they vary in nutrient content, so don't just opt for green veg, try to throw in other colours too."

"Green smoothies are good for alkalising the body," says Claire Harper, nutrition consultant at The Nutrition Guide (thenutritionguide.co.uk). "The western diet of white bread, pasta, alcohol, coffee, meat and dairy is highly acid forming, which can cause inflammation making us more susceptible to illness. Counteracting this by drinking greens every day is a natural way to protect your health."

Good for: Increasing energy. Also, after a week or two you'll notice clearer skin and brighter eyes.
Try it: Create a half and half blend of green leafy vegetables (spinach, lettuce and celery, etc) and fruits (banana, strawberries and blueberries) and add water, milk or yogurt.
