How to Lower Blood Pressure with Dr. Dov Rand

Blood pressure is one of the most important factors in our quality of life. Unfortunately, many people are often unaware that they have blood pressure problems until symptoms manifest and it’s too late. As a physician who specializes in anti-aging medicine, Dr. Dov Rand is passionate about preventative care and ensuring patients know the steps they can take to keep themselves healthy.

Whenever he consults with patients, Dr. Dov Rand takes an educational approach to help patients understand where they are physically and how they can improve it. Despite the rapid improvement in anti-aging medicine and technology, Dr. Dov Rand still asserts that preventative care is the best medicine. “If we can help patients prevent or avoid issues such as high blood pressure, we can help them enjoy a better quality of life,” says Dr. Dov Rand.

To lower blood pressure or alleviate rising pressures, Dr. Dov Rand encourages patients to:

• Avoid junk food. While the diet craze has spread across America, Dr. Dov Rand laments that the focus is too heavy on the number of calories consumed. “We focus too much on the limiting the quantity of food eaten versus improving the quality of the food,” says Dr. Dov Rand. By avoiding junk and fast foods, Dr. Dov Rand says patients can avoid the oils and trans-fats that contribute to high blood pressure.
• Exercise. Aside from nutritional improvement, Dr. Dov Rand says that exercising as little as two days a week for 30 minutes will change the physiological processes in the body. Consistent exercise will over-time improve body composition and blood pressure.
