Source of the article: http://bit.ly/1GO1qBS Admit it, high blood pressure or hypertension was something that didn’t concern you until you heard the doctor's explanation: “You have a disorder in your blood vessels.” The word disorder is quite frightening, but if the explanation is accompanied by “your heart needs to make an extra effort every time it pumps,” panic takes over because you automatically imagine suffering a heart attack. We consulted Brenda García, a Health Coach specializing in Holistic Nutrition, to explain in detail the causes of high blood pressure. “The main trigger for hypertension is largely due to poor eating habits, and the most concerning aspect of this disease is that one in three adults suffers from it,” the specialist detailed. If your blood pressure is above 120/89, you need to change your lifestyle immediately. Nutrition is key. The first thing our Health Coach recommends is to increase your intake of whole grains. Thanks to them, your body will continuously eliminate toxins from your blood, which will also lower your blood pressure. If, in addition to consuming whole grains, you include vegetables, fish, and increase your water intake in your diet, you will notice the difference, and your quality of life will improve considerably. You won’t just lose body fat; activities like climbing stairs will no longer be a great effort. To help us in our fight to regain healthy blood pressure levels, Brenda García suggests a delicious green smoothie that complements a well-balanced diet of whole grains, vegetables, and fish. Green Juice Ingredients:

1/2 green apple
1/2 cucumber, peeled and seeded
2 leaves of romaine lettuce
2 stalks of celery
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 cup of water

Blend everything in a blender and drink it 10 minutes after a glass of warm water on an empty stomach. Reference Information Brenda García is a specialist in integral health treatments to help people achieve a fuller life and balance through healthy eating and overall well-being. She states categorically that high blood pressure is completely reversible if a person follows a proper diet. Twitter: @bren_garci Instagram: bren_garci Blog: brengarworld.wordpress.com
