How to Regulate Low Blood Pressure

Low blood pressure can mean you are in excellent shape, but it can also mean you aren't getting enough blood to your vital organs. The trick is maintaining a lower healthy blood pressure without it getting too low, which could cause organ damage. A blood pressure reading of less than 90/60 is considered too low, according to the Mayo Clinic. Many athletes have low blood pressure because of their good health and active lifestyles. Others experience symptoms of low blood pressure such as dizziness, fainting, vomiting, nausea and depression. But how do you raise your blood pressure if you start noticing symptoms?

Instructions

1

Drink beetroot juice. According to Blood Pressure Updates, low blood pressure patients are instructed to drink 2 cups of beetroot juice per day and improvement is guaranteed.

2

Take Epsom salt baths. One of the simplest remedies for raising blood pressure, an Epsom salt bath involves dissolving 1/2 kg of the salt in a regular bath. Soak in the bath for about 15 minutes. For the best results, take this bath right before bed.

3

Get the nutrition you need. Low blood pressure is often caused by malnutrition, so it's important to get enough vitamins (especially vitamin C and the B vitamins) and protein. Take vitamins like pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), which has been said to be beneficial to treat and prevent low blood pressure. Consistent nutrient and vitamin intake will undoubtedly help in raising your blood pressure and keeping it from getting too low.

4

Eat salty foods. Salt is valuable in preventing and raising low blood pressure, so eating salty foods like peanuts and salted popcorn or drinking a glass of water with a teaspoon of salt in it are invaluable to your blood pressure. Be sure to choose healthy salty foods, not salty junk food.

5

Eat fruit with every meal and as snacks. Fruit works wonders for low blood pressure. Fruits will help replenish and re-nourish your whole system and should be made a major part of your overall diet.

6

Do mild exercises every day. Swimming, bicycling, walking and light jogging are great for low blood pressure because they help to promote overall health. Exercising will work with the other lifestyle changes to prevent or cure low blood pressure.
