I am 29. My bp was 150/100 due to high stress level and anxiety and lack of exercise. I have taken medication for 2 months. After that i stopped medicine and started playing games and exercise in my life style and healthy diet and my bp was surprisingly got low for remaining 2 years. But now again due to stress and less exercise my bp level is around 115-150/65-90. Should I take medication or it will b ok if I follow same which I used to do prior?

A healthy lifestyle and food habit is a permanent solution to your health issue. And remember one thing.... a healthy lifestyle is not something you can follow for some time and expect the results to last lifelong. It’s an everyday thing, to be followed always. 

Medication can only keep your blood pressure under control artificially. Which can not be a permanent solution to any health issue. And if consumed for too long it may end up in landing you into more complicated health issues.

So healthy lifestyle and food habits are the solution to a better health and long term health 

Be happy be healthy always

 You have come to the right forum. Blood pressure is definitely reversible on a plant-based diet. To understand how to reverse your condition you will have to understand what caused your condition in the first place. It’s not just lack of exercise alone and that’s your misunderstanding.

We all know that the role of the Heart is to pump blood. So the story goes like this, you eat some food, the food gets into the stomach. And for that To digest, it has to go through the entire Gastrointestinal tract. Among this liver, the gallbladder and pancreas plays a major role in trying to understand and assimilate the food . Liver is one of the organs where it understands whether the food you eat in is right for the body or not.Any food that is not available directly from nature is something that the body does not understand. In any food that the body does not understand gets accumulated in the liver and the surrounding organs. One of the major functions of the liver is to thin the blood from all the fats that you constantly been feeding day after day. This might be in the form of Tadka it might be in the form of fried food it might be in the form of dairy it might be any form of animal products that you have been consuming. Please remember that coldpressed Oils are also oils but definitely better than refined but any oil is an oil. Over period of time these fat deposits gets accumulated in the body because we don’t have vim and pril to scrub these in the body. What we do have is bilirubin that does the blood thinning work by reducing the fats by thinning down the fats. If you have a high concentration of fats and other form of toxins in the blood the oxygenation level in the blood will be extremely low. This low oxygenation level can pose a risk to your heart and brain. The heart actually expects a purified form of blood from the liver. Initially when you’ve had a high fat diet the liver would have handled the situation. But one cannot expect this to happen over and over and over again. Over a period of time all the things that the body does not need starts overflowing from the liver and liver efficiency reduces. When the efficiency of the liver reduces it means that the blood will also be contaminated. If you are the heart and you will have to suck crude oil from a certain distance you will definitely have to put that effort isn’t it? Now if the heart has to do this over and over again on a daily basis what would be its status after few months or years? It’s simply gets tired gets inflamed and you will have a named condition. It is constantly working putting pressure in the arteries.Whatever maybe the name of your condition what however complex is your issue it just means that the heart is tired from doing the work that it has been doing in your body over and over again.

The only remedy to this problem is to make sure that your blood is naturally thinned and handled by the body and gives the heart a break and makes the pumping the pushing and pulling easier. How do you do this ? the answer is very simple :-

 you have to make sure that you consume a wholefood plant-based lifestyle , even your grains have to be in its naturally whole state unpolished, absolutely no oil in your diet, very low intake of nuts and seeds after a period of time but not while healing.  

Focus to eat fresh raw fruits vegetables and greens for the entire day except for dinner when you can make an exception. Since your condition is not something that will heal over night like a cold or a cough you must not hurry this detox rapidly as  it can backfire and cause more harm than you expect . so it is very important that you just change your lifestyle to a plant-based life style and then eventually stabilise this. Continue to expose yourself to the sun for about an hour a day. Join a yoga class and practice yoga and pranayama under a certified practitioner and practice yoga that is safe for your condition. Ensure that you eat raw for most of your day this will naturally thin down your blood and give the body a break from the fats so once all the oils start getting released from your body naturally , you will overtime be healed of your condition . heart is a very resilient , a very strong organ. It is one of the last organs to stop. It is designed to keep you alive. So such is the power of the heart. It has equally good stamina to spring back up when the conditions are ideal. From removing dairy eggs meat fish sugar wholewheat maida barley any form of oils all kinds of packaged foods that are ready to eat , practice mindful eating ,  chew your food as long as possible and swallow it. Avoid all form of screen time when you are connecting with your food. Avoid using salt for any of your raw meal except for dinner and reduce the quantity of that as well. Avoid using refined salt and use pink salt as minimally as possible. Greens like spinach have natural salt in them that can replace salts in any meal . Lime juice is a great substitute for salt. 

You have panicked because you didn’t have the right awareness and information. This happens naturally to everybody don’t fear. Now that you have the information take the right steps to correct your food habits and you can avoid that medication

कारण - रक्त चाप ख़राब रक्त प्रवाह से होता है इसका कारण अधिक अम्ल, तनाव, शारीरिक मानसिक क्रिया में कमी होता है।

समाधान- खेलकूद में भाग लें पहले की तरह, योगासन करें। इससे रक्त संचार प्रक्रिया में सुधार होगा। 70% कच्चे सब्ज़ी और फल को मुख्य आहार बनाएँ।

जीवन शैली - जीवन शैली - आकाश तत्व- एक खाने से दूसरे खाने के बीच में विराम दें। रोज़ाना 15 घंटे का उपवास करें जैसे रात का भोजन 7 बजे तक कर लिया और सुबह का नाश्ता 9 बजे लें। 

लंबा गहरा स्वाँस अंदर भरें और रुकें फिर पूरे तरीक़े से स्वाँस को ख़ाली करें रुकें फिर स्वाँस अंदर भरें ये एक चक्र हुआ। ऐसे 10 चक्र एक टाइम पर करना है। ये दिन में चार बार करें।

जैसे साइकलिंग, तैराकी, लटकना, रस्सी कूद, झुलना

कुछ योगा अभ्यास। 

सूर्य उदय के एक घंटे बाद या सूर्य अस्त के एक घंटे पहले का धूप शरीर को ज़रूर लगाएँ। सर और आँख को किसी सूती कपड़े से ढक कर। जब भी लेंटे अपना दायाँ भाग ऊपर करके लेटें ताकि आपकी सूर्य नाड़ी सक्रिय रहे।

खाना खाने से एक घंटे पहले नाभि के ऊपर गीला सूती कपड़ा लपेट कर रखें या खाना के 2 घंटे बाद भी ऐसा कर सकते हैं।

मेरुदंड स्नान के लिए अगर टब ना हो तो एक मोटा तौलिया गीला कर लें बिना निचोरे उसको बिछा लें और अपने मेरुदंड को उस स्थान पर रखें।

मेरुदंड (स्पाइन) सीधा करके बैठें। हमेशा इस बात ध्यान रखें और हफ़्ते में 3 दिन मेरुदंड का स्नान करें। 

आहार शुद्धि जैसे सुबह उठकर ख़ाली पेट सफ़ेद पेठे (ashguard)को 20 ग्राम पीस कर 100 ml पानी में मिला कर पीएँ। फल+अंजीर,मुनक्के का नाश्ता लें। दोपहर इसी जूस को लें उसके एक घंटे बाद सलाद लें।बिना नमक और निम्बू के (स्प्राउट) अंकुरित अनाज और मेवे सलाद में मिलायें।अंकुरित मूँगफली टमाटर, शिमला मिर्च, खीरा और बारीक कटा धनिया मिला कर लें।

शाम 5 बजे नारियल पानी लें।

रात के खाने में इस अनुपात से खाना खाएँ 2 कटोरी सब्ज़ी के साथ 1कटोरी चावल या 1रोटी लें। रात 8 बजे के बाद कुछ ना खाएँ, 12 घंटे का (gap) अंतराल रखें। 8बजे रात से 8 बजे सुबह तक कुछ नहीं खाना है।

एक नियम हमेशा याद रखें ठोस (solid) खाने को चबा कर तरल (liquid) बना कर खाएँ। तरल (liquid) को मुँह में घूँट घूँट पीएँ। खाना ज़मीन पर बैठ कर खाएँ। खाते वक़्त ना तो बात करें और ना ही TV और mobile को देखें। ठोस (solid) भोजन के तुरंत बाद या बीच बीच में जूस या पानी ना लें। भोजन हो जाने के एक घंटे बाद तरल पदार्थ (liquid) ले सकते हैं।

ऐसा करने से हाज़मा कभी ख़राब नहीं होगा।

जानवरों से उपलब्ध होने वाले भोजन वर्जित हैं।

तेल, मसाला, और गेहूँ से परहेज़ करेंगे तो अच्छा होगा। चीनी के जगह गुड़ लें।

हफ़्ते में एक दिन उपवास करें। शाम तक केवल पानी लें, प्यास लगे तो ही पीएँ। शाम 5 बजे नारियल पानी और रात 8 बजे सलाद लें।

धन्यवाद।
