3. Caffeinated Beverage
Caffeinated beverage such as coffee, cola or hot chocolate can temporarily raise the blood pressure. Some experts say that caffeine can block certain hormones, which can keep the arteries widened.
As the arteries are narrow down, the blood pressure levels can raise quickly. Moreover, caffeine can work on your adrenal gland that can help release more adrenaline and eventually lead to raising your blood pressure level. Therefore, caffeinated beverage can be one of the instant natural home remedies for hypotension that you can apply at home.
- If you are suffering from the hypertension, in the morning you can drink 1 glass of coffee or eat it in your meals. Drinking 2-3 glasses of coffee daily can raise diastolic pressure by up to 4-13mm Hg and systolic pressure by 3-14mm Hg.
- In addition to coffee, you also can consume other caffeinated beverage such as tea (particularly black tea), hot chocolate (with milk or not), soda (with some lemon juice or not), hot cola and energy drinks.
However, you should not overdo this solution or make it become your habit since using caffeine, in the long run, can bring about bad effects. It is stated that consuming 400mg of caffeine daily is the safe limit for healthy adults, which is equivalent to 2 energy shot drinks or 4 glasses of brewed coffee.
4. Water, Juices Or Teas
Water is necessary for all organs in your body to carry out its regular and normal functionality. The main cause of the hypotension is losing intravascular fluids in you body because the blood vessels contain fluid space that is constituted of serum and blood cells. Serum holds water, chemicals and electrolytes, etc. However, as the total volume found in the intravascular space and another space inside the blood vessels reduces, it results in hypotension.
- Therefore, in order to raise your blood pressure, you need to consume much water or other fluids like fruit or vegetable juices, herbal teas, fruits that contain high water content and others.
