How To Treat High Blood Pressure With Diet
DESCRIPTION: The first-line treatment for hypertension is lifestyle modification, which often includes the DASH diet. What is it and how can it be improved?
How To Treat High Blood Pressure With Diet
This is the companion video to How to Prevent High Blood Pressure with Diet ( ).
How To Treat High Blood Pressure With Diet
The DASH diet is one of the best studied, and consistently ranks as US News & World Report’s #1 diet. It’s one of the few diets that medical students are taught about in medical school. I was so fascinated to learn of its origins as a compromise between practicality and efficacy.

I’ve talk about the patronizing attitude many doctors have that patients can’t handle the truth in:
• How to Prevent a Stroke ( )
• Convergence of Evidence ( )
• Halving Heart Attack Risk ( )

What would hearing the truth from your physician sound like? See Fully Consensual Heart Disease Treatment ( ) and The Actual Benefit of Diet vs. Drugs ( ).

Wait… adding flesh makes the diet MORE “palatable” #thereisnohope
+atripto cambodia A wheat bun or a wheat bran bun? There’s a difference and
yea, too much wheat bran will tear up your GI tract. I’ll stick with
vegetables for fiber, much more gentle.
+Orion Antares It was a white burger bun..
+atripto cambodia That doesn’t even make sense unless they were trying to
set her up to fail…
It’s still surprise me just how some people do not
know about Hybetez Remedy (do a google search)
although a lot of people cure their cholesterol
safely with it. Thanks to my personal pal who told
me about this. I have eliminated my pain &
embarrassment for good by using healthy
approaches.
so what foods are good for those who suffer with low bl pressure ?
I drink mineral waters and have reasonable high sodium intake. It helps.
thanks…ive been takin celtic sea salt under the tongue and then drink
some water immediately after the salt dissolves…all i see are vids on
HBP..nothing on low.
Hmm . . . interesting about the flax seed.
+allencrider very cheap and easy and have other benefits as well.
Personally never had BP issues, but do consume flaxseed daily for other
benefits of lignans and fiber. Great resource:
http://nutritionfacts.org/?s=flax
i eat 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed and chia seeds and i still have
140/75 fml.
+Emil Bozhilov Fructose raises uric acid which raises blood pressure.
+Just Sayan so i should try starch?
+Emil Bozhilov I would encourage you to, yes.Some people also have high
tryglycerides on fruit and they fix that by following a more starch based
diet (mcdougall or furhman).
+Emil Bozhilov Try cutting back on sugar, even from fruit. You could have
issues with insulin sensitivity and that could be what is causing your
blood pressure to be abnormally high.
+Emil Bozhilov Read Dr. Julian Whitaker’s book Reversing Hypertension. This
book tells you a lot of keys to lower blood pressure without drugs. It
worked for me.
I just saw a video with Marion Nestle, where she says the Chinese are
consuming more dairy (despite being mostly lactose intolerant, and to the
detriment of NZ), so it might be interesting to see the change in blood
pressure per capita. They are already becoming more diabetic.
Im impressed, no dislikes!
My comment is not valid anymore sadly 🙁 4 people who are in the meat and
dairy industrie 🙂
Compared to fudge cookies, cheese-itz, and chips ahoy. Glad we’re holding
our selves to such high standards. lol
+Jessica Vegan Nothing to do with “we”. Illustrates one of the ways $
interested parties manipulate studies such that they can turn out a
“positive” result. They’re simply generating “news bites” for product
promotion. Few take time to read the details. Dr. Greger pre-screens most
of my medical research reading for sure!
I am a strict vegetarian. I use no added salt. My staple is whole
grain gruel, with a salad. Dressing is peaches, blueberries and balsamic
vinegar blended with water. No oil.
My gruel is 1/2 cup each of dry quinoa, brown rice and lentils. Veggies are
added as two carrots (blended) half a cabage (blended) three mushrooms
(blended) and four stalks of celery (chopped) with 12 cups of water in a
six quart crock pot. To this is added nutritional yeast flake, turmeric,
cumin, cayenne pepper and Italian seasoning for flavor. This feeds me for
two days.
The only addition to this is 300 gm of plain baked potato, to which is
added a tablespoon of oil every other day. (Olive or flaxseed)
I workout about an hour a day. 30 minutes walking, 12 minutes
(pushup/step) intervals, 10 minutes sprint training, 18 minutes bodyweight
squats. This is not done sequentually but during work breaks, when I get up
and when I get home from work.
My blood pressure was 99/60 with a 57 bpm pulse just now. My total lipid
count, trig. LDL, HDL…all in is under 150. But I weight 260lbs at 5’6″
and lose about a lb a week. This has been going on for about 3 years.
(Yeah I was over 400 at the start.) While I get all of the benefits of
following a strict McDougal style diet…I am NOT losing 12 lbs per month.
My doctor says that my numbers don’t match my body.
I am losing weight too slow to be happy but have so much benefit I can’t
stop. I am not asking for any tips or any of your time doc…I just needed
to get that off of my chest. :)
Hey I put ground flaxseeds in my porridge. Does the heat mess up the
benefits?
+tdreamgmail No. Flaxseeds can be baked into bread without losing their
power.
+Wade Patton Nice one, thanks
In case you missed it, lots more benefits of flax:

YAH for raisins being healthier than cookies!
+bananiac Like alcohol is healthier than cyanide. Genius.
+Vladimir Erfan Alcohol and cyanide are both poisons. Raisins are not
poison.

lol I love the slight sarcasm you end your videos with :)
Thanks for the info! Will buy flax seeds tomorrow. :-)
The evidence for certain types of meditation having a positive effect on
blood pressure seems widespread.
You’re hilarious! You always get me laughing on those final comments :’D
My toddler has been drinking raw *sprouted* flax seed milk since age 1 &
he’s a pure genius! Drink it up as soon as you make feel the difference.
If you have high blood pressure, go to True North Health Centre and fast
for 25 days on water only. Then continue living a vegan SOS diet. You’ll be
fixed up soon, no drugs either.
What is the best way to go about researching these topics? I can manage to
find research for papers, but I’m just wondering how you approach it? Where
do you start and what are the steps along the way?
My blood pressure has dropped from per-hypertensive to 100/66 when I cut
out processed foods, grains, and increased my meat, egg, and dairy
consumption but sourced it from healthy farms. I’ve had to add salt to some
of my meals to keep from going too low and becoming light headed from quick
movement.
im 26, bodybuilder/powerlifter, in good shape, always exercising, but i was
diagnosed to have hypertension, doctors wanted to put me onto meds straight
away but my thinking was that thats not a cure, so i refused and have now
gone vegan for the past couple of months and already my blood pressure has
changed dramatically, im now in a “good” range
+zeus200044 nice! but what the hell were you eating before?
*You must know that drugs can never help you to win against high blood
