Lowering blood pressure

---

Diet and exercise are obviously important for lowering blood pressure. But aside from those, here are a few other ideas that might help.

Exercise

• Endurance
• Isometric (e.g., planks, leg lifts, etc.)

Supplements

• L-arginine: 4g to 30g per day
• Magnesium: more than 300mg per day
• Garlic: usually 600mg to 900mg per day (but some trials went as high as 2400mg per day!)
• Potassium: 3500mg per day
• Spirulina: 1g to 8g per day
• Calcium: 1000mg to 1500mg per day

Miscellaneous

• Tracking blood pressure in an app, website, or similar
• Mindfulness-based meditation
• Renal sympathetic denervation (for cases of sympathetic overdrive, which may not apply to me)
