High blood pressure is one of the diseases that could be fatal when untreated. One hypertension treatment is the process called antihypertensive therapy using ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, calcium channel blockers, and beta-blockers.

Another treatment is the use of olive oil to lower down the blood pressure. Research has proven how this kind of oil is more effective in lowering blood pressure than others. Fish oils, too, have adequate substances like EPA and DHA for effective lowering blood pressure and triglyceride levels. Several studies found out that large amount of fish oil intake reduced blood pressure significantly in hypertensive individuals.

It is also suggested that hypertensive patients must restrict salt or sodium intake. A combination of salt restriction and fish oil supplementation works to lower down both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Please refer to:
