10 Ways to Lower Your Blood Pressure
Way To Lower Blood Pressure #5: Avoid Smoking
Smoking is one of the best ways to send your blood pressure skyrocketing. Not only is nicotine a stimulant, which causes your blood vessels to constrict, it also acts as a bronchial constrictor. This means that it prevents your lungs from absorbing as much oxygen as they could.
These two things combined make it very difficult for your blood to transport oxygen throughout your body and can lead to a number of health problems.
