According to statistics from the CDC, around 70 million people–1 in 3
Americans–suffer from high blood pressure. Half of these individuals
have their blood pressure under control, probably with form of blood
pressure medication. [

Hypertension,
or high blood pressure, can be a silent yet deadly disease, one that
doesn’t necessarily need to be managed by medication. While there are
some rare hereditary conditions that make it impossible to control blood
sugar with just exercise and diet, most people have the ability to use
dietary strategies as their first line of defense.
How Resveratrol Supports Normal Blood PressureResveratrol is a natural plant compound
typically found in grapes, chocolate, and almonds. Its antioxidant
capabilities have been studied for years and have revealed many health
benefits — protecting cells and DNA, regulating a healthy blood sugar,
or protecting skin from UV damage to name a few. [

A recent meta analysis shows that resveratrol may play an important
role in supporting blood pressure health by regulating systolic blood
pressure. [

Other Benefits of Resveratrol
Resveratrol provides similar effects of
calorie restriction in terms of cellular protection. [

Resveratrol may reduce irritation and improve blood flow through
vessels. Resveratrol may even support hormones that play a role in blood
pressure. Foods high in resveratrol may also contain a number of other
beneficial compounds and nutrients, like antioxidants and fiber, that
are responsible for supporting blood pressure.
Other Ways to Support Blood Pressure Naturally
A
healthy diet and regular exercise are the best ways to get blood
pressure under control. Avoiding sugars–including high-sugar fruit
juice–in order to avoid the blood sugar spike that inadvertently leads
to a rise in blood pressure. Also, just by walking every day, doing
yoga, sprinting, or any other
physical activity you enjoy, you’re a step closer to balanced blood pressure.
