Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has shown promising results in reducing blood pressure by about 7 mmHg systolic and 2 mmHg diastolic in people with elevated blood pressure. IMT also has potential benefits for endothelial health and overall cardiovascular well-being. While the benefits may not be significant, they are comparable to some blood pressure medications and can help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Other non-drug treatments for high blood pressure include salt restriction and relaxation techniques. Additionally, tannins in tea, not caffeine, can decrease the absorption of non-heme iron, while heme iron found in meat is not affected.
