High blood pressure is a massive problem and is reaching epidemic proportions in the US and Europe. Latest blood pressure facts estimate that just under 20% of Americans, which is around 50 million people suffer from hypertension. That is an awful lot of people, especially when you consider the rates of mortality from high blood pressure, which are also accounted by the high percentage thought to be around 5 who are not diagnosed and therefore are not getting treatment.

Current prescription medications carry with them a range of serious side effects such as nausea, dizziness,and fatigue when used over a long period of time. As the majority of people are diagnosed with high blood pressure around middle age they may be on medication for decades so side effects can set in.   Therefore it is better to lower blood pressure natural and luckily there exists a range of products which can be used to achieve the ideal blood pressure. One such product is glutathione which is manufactured inside cells using precursor amino acids .  Glutathione is very pleasing to blood pressure levels when in the reduced state.   This is due to its antioxidant properties which help it prevent free radical damage to cells.  Free radical damage is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis and development of hypertension.  Animal studies have shown that doses of less than 100mg/kg of glutathione was able to reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Another study illustrated the fact that glutathione infusions were capable of lower blood pressure natural by increasing free magnesium levels within cells.

There are many food sources which can help to boost your glutathione levels including asparagus, broccoli, avocado and spinach, as well as raw eggs and garlic.  I would suggest maintaining a healthy level of glutathione in order to lower your blood pressure the natural way.
