Control Blood Pressure Naturally Without Medication
Drink Less Alcohol
It’s vital to drink in moderation. Alcohol can raise your blood pressure even if you’re in good health. According to a 2006 study, consuming 10 grams of alcohol raises blood pressure by 1 mm Hg. A standard drink contains 14 grams of alcohol.
What does it mean to have a typical drink? Twelve ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits. For women, moderate drinking is one drink per day, whereas it is two drinks per day for men. Although drinking more than 30 grams of alcohol initially lowers blood pressure, after 13 hours or more, systolic blood pressure climbed by 3.7 mm Hg, and diastolic blood pressure increased by 3.7 mm HG, according to a review.
