7. Drink tea instead of coffee.
Caffeine might seem like an important, even fundamental, part of your life. However, taking caffeine does have its price. Coffee itself is generally a healthy beverage with positive effects on your brain and your health, but caffeine is known to increase your blood pressure. For that reason, it is best to drink decaf instead of regular coffee if you have high blood pressure. Even better, switching your coffee for some tea will work wonders with your blood pressure levels. Some herbs teas have been proven to help lower your blood pressure. Chamomille tea, one of the most famous infusions for relaxing and releasing the tension, is great for this. Other fantastic options include green tea and oolong tea. Taking some time to quietly enjoy a cup of tea and let go of your worries for a couple of minutes will potentiate the positive impact of the beverage on your blood pressure.
