Hello i will share my story. In short form.
I was diagnosed with hp at 150/100. Doctor was going to put me on meds but first wanted to try diet. Well 40 lbs later i did it to me 4.5 months. Clean clean eating! i canot stress this enough and also walking with a fit bit tracker . If you cant walk well take baby steps . Thereis hope. New bp is 120/78 i was in dout of myself . Take care who ever reads this. 😊

Over salt eating may increase 5-6mm Hg. A normal kidney can discharge it. However, if u eat lots of carbs, your body stimulate tons of insulin that will hold your sodium inside your body. Eventually, you get high blood pressure but your kidney could not discharge the sodium.

I have high blood pressure sometimes but it’s because of stress and anxiety

[positiveinfinity]

I have what I think to be a complete break through for getting a low blood pressure reading…. Bring someone you trust or love like your family to the appointment or store where you’re getting tested…I tested high at Walgreens then got home with my family tested and immediately had 117/88 vs Walgreens 141/100 so I went back with my family and tested 120/84 bingo it’s like separation anxiety I don’t know but it worked…obviously exercise and decrease caffeine sodium…

What causes high blood pressure? Answer: 3 "S's" - stress, smoking, and salt. Thanks!

0:37 - Wonderful - When one looks into how pressure and volume are related, the idea is easy to understand. The following advice, however, will not change the volume of liquid in the blood stream for very long.

0:40 - My "N=1" study has demonstrated to me that my "salt to taste" paradigm (roughly 1 - 2 tsp of salt daily) has had no effect on my BP. The reality is that when carbohydrates are reduced, the 3g of water per each gram of carbohydrate are released from the body thereby lowering the volume and reducing the pressure. I went from a BP of 140/90 to 95/55 in two weeks after removing "whole grains, sugar, and refined foods (those in a box), & those nasty poisonous yellow 'heart-healthy' seed oils" from my diet.


The typical "lower your salt, lose weight, exercise more, and eat fruits and veggies" doesn't work long term.

I am 55 11/12 years old, and my icon picture is very recent. Ask me how?

It seems that chronic inflammation is the major factor in almost all modern diseases. It causes type 2 diabetes, plaque build-up in arteries, arthritis, high blood pressure, cancer, and so many other conditions. Lately, my wife has been able to make some good progress by doing some simple exercises which she learned from Healsonate. Seems to work for her.

Blood pressure problems are caused due to constipation.Our body has 9/10 air passages with air movement (nose, mouth, urinary track, etc) and the blockade caused in any one of these causes to multiple blockades which causes the blood pressure problem.

Don't forget constant anger constricts blood vessels .

I notice lots of people keep on talking about Hybetez Remedy. But I'm uncertain if it's good. Have you ever try this high blood pressure remedy?

[elizahansen]

Does Hybetez Remedy really work? I see a lot of people keep on talking about Hybetez Remedy. But Im not sure if it's good enough to fix your high blood pressure issue inherently .

[aaravsanford]

Do anybody know about Hybetez Remedy? Does it really work? I hear many individuals treat their high blood pressure issue inherently with this high blood pressure treatment.

My BP was always optimal or normal but just this 1 month I have mild to moderate hypertension. I am normal weight, I exercise nearly everyday.... Brisk walking and eat 1 meal a day. I have been highly stressed lately.... Have had a few anxiety attacks.... Don't know if this is causing the BP
