How to lower BP by 20 mmHg naturally
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 05. 2021
- High blood pressure is a major global health challenge and one of the main reasons why it has become more prevalent is because increasingly more economically developing countries are adopting the western lifestyle which leads to sedentary behaviour, physical inactivity, consumption of calorie dense fatty foods, high sodium intake and excessive levels of stress.
It is also well recognised that excessively elevated blood pressure numbers can be associated with harm to the body at a microscopic level initially and then over a course of years that damage can start manifesting as strokes, heart attacks and kidney failure and therefore there is great emphasis by healthcare bodies around the world to reduce high blood pressure numbers through lifestyle and medications.
I am 53 years old and one year ago I was taking two blood pressure medications. I followed your advice and that of my personal physician and I am now completely medication free. Thank you sir!
Can you please be kind enough to share the advice
lifestyle changes? diet and exercise?
Hi sir, pls guide us, what u followed..
Please
Zero alcohol for one year, conscious about sugar intake but not crazy, I eat clean single ingredient foods, my snacks are fruits and nuts, I don't have a cheat day because I don't feel the need. I do a light full body workout 5 days per week using dumbbells, bands and bodyweight. I have done zero cardio, but I do walk a lot at my job. I stretch before going to bed. December 2020 I was 30% body fat I had my physical last Friday and was 15% body fat. Stop reading about all the fad diets and study nutrition to make a lasting change in your health.
1- Weight loss, if above the BMI
2- Reduce 🧂 Salt / Sodium intake
3- Increase Potassium intake through diet
4- Take Magnesium Supplements
5- Avoid Artificial and Processed Sugar foods n Drinks
6- NO Alcoholic Drinks
7- Exercises (brisk walk or biking or swimming or jogging) any one is better than none
8- Avoid processed meets 🥓🍖
9- Reduce Stress...e.g. sleep well😴
Thank You 😊
Keep me in your prayers 🙏
Prayers for you tonight...thank you
I am in my early 60s and only get 4hrs no matter how early I go to bed. I try every thing , been off drugs for 6yrs and Dr wants me to go back. Mind you exercise was helping along with water melon. Iam also losing weight until the veins in my neck are showing. I am not feeling any pain but I cannot keep a steady weight. I wish I could reduce stress. And get restful sleeps. Have s good day.
May Allah SWT bless u.. Aameen summa Aameen

Avoid sugar, salt, rice , packed wheat ..
Avoid alcohol
Reduce body weight - daily placed 8000 steps n reduced stress totally ..
Not worrying for anything just accepting as it Is n not having hope on anything....
These changes need to be consistent over time. One needs to be ready to change and ask themselves, "Who am I being?"
@@spinedoc18 thank you so much for your reply
When an allopathic doctor treats you for a disease without medicines he is a true doctor. He sees medicines as not the only tool in his armor to cure people. The only doctor who seems to understand what high blood pressure is for the general population. Good job Dr Sanjay Gupta.
Marvelous sensible clever Dr....thank you.
Thankyou for this. I started subscribing to.you in January. I had high BP due to anemia. I started exercising everyday and have now reached seven miles a day. I've lost 21pounds in weight and I feel so much better. My mind is clear and I have more energy. I sleep better and I also meditate. I stopped drinks coz I'm on lots of meds. I'm.very grateful to you. My BP has gone from 155/100 to 110/85, doctor is amazed. Oh and I walk my dog twice a day as well
If I.hadn't seen your videos I wouldn't have done anything coz I don't have a good relationship with my doctor. I.trust you. It makes all the difference. Hope you have a nice meal this evening xx
Good for you!! That's amazing!!
Brilliant! Well done!

Thank you for sharing your efforts and positive results. Over what period of time did you achieve these wonderful results? 🌞
My blood pressure was creeping up so I lost weight, changed my diet, exercised more and reduced stress. This has led to a big reduction.
I love your videos, I am 90yrs old and have learned more about my body from you than I imagined possible at this stage of life. Thank you 🙏
The big pharma companies must detest you Doctor G!!!! I have reversed so much that ailed me by diet and lifestyle changes including BP, triglyceride levels and gall stones. We need more doctors like you Sir. Thank you for what you do. 😇🙏
And we bless you😃
Please stop this Big Pharma nonsense conspiracy. All the consensus clinical guidelines that the doctor refers to include diet, exercise and stress reduction. The reason many people need drugs is because they don't do enough of good diet, exercise, or sleep.
What I LOVE about your channel is the fact that you never try to SELL ANYTHING. You're just providing information...and great information at that. Plus, you do so KINDLY, and with genuine respect to your viewers. For all of that, I thank you.
Thank you very much Doctor. You r doing a service to the man kind. May God Bless you.
Excellent I feel better already, going to start right away. Thanks for no trying to spell us some producto. All the GODS bless you.

I was told by my doctor that
She has to increase my dosage
I had a stressful. Time before my

I have reduced my weight but gradually but I have anxiety.
Thus any small matter will trigger my HP. I am lost
Thank you
Well put, thank you
3 months of a low carbohydrate diet and a daily 1 hour walk resulted on a waist reduction of 3 inches and reduced my blood pressure from 145/90 to 110/72. Also reversed high triglyceride level to way below normal. I cannot believe the difference after 30 years of medication making no difference.
What time of day do you measure your bp?

Thanks amazing 😱
Dr Gupta, thank you for your videos. Your humanity, kindness, intelligence and ability to communicate to others is a role model for me (and hopefully others). Giving me information in the way that you do here, makes me feel like I can take responsibility for my health, and to maximise the benefit of time and consultation with doctors and others medically trained. Hugely valued
I absolutely love your approach to this topic. Especially the fact that BP issues are symptoms of deeper issues. I am experiencing that now and got some great tips from you. Subscribed!
LOVE your approach to health issues of life style change not just throwing a pill at it. Forwarding this to my parents!!!!!
THANK YOU, Doc ! I never had a talk like this from any of the doctors I have had in my 76 years of life !
My favorite doctor!!! So wise and to the point! I wish we have more doctors like you 👏🏻👏🏻
I love how you don’t want to throw meds at everything and get to the root of the problem by diet and exercise.
Thank you! That was so helpful and very motivating. For the first time, I actually feel like I have a lot more choices, they’re easy to understand, and again, I thank you.
Dr Gupta, you will never know how much good that you do throughout the whole world.

Everything that this soft spoken doctor said is correct and stuff I was taught by my ma. But sometimes life gets in the way, I am trying, but what I found is that dropping the weight along with walking and additional K makes a huge difference. I truly enjoy his vlogs. Thank you Sir.
As always your talks keep me focussed. I am 73 yrs and find the most difficult aspect is to change lifestyle but if one makes a conscious effort one can succeed. I have stopped intake of sugars and exercise regularly and am reaping the benefits. Please continue to inspire us
My GP must be one of the minority. He says medication is just a crutch, that long term improvements are found through our own efforts, improved diet, regular exercise and weight loss.
Great Video.
It's high time the patients educate their drug prescribing doctors with nutritional health backed by high quality nutritional scientific researches.
We live it, they theorize it.
Great insight on HBP. You are a God Send.
You are blessed to have a caring and honest gp
What a positive attitude you have! I have recently begun walking every morning to lose "pandemic" weight and lower my blood pressure. I'm 75 years old and am now walking ~2 miles a day (50 min) -- I started at 1.2 miles. I'm working on picking up my speed. Your video was very encouraging!

Thank you marvellous to hear medical dialogue in normal speak. The advise is so good, this lockdown has stressed me and the effect is I have not gone for a bike ride, just got lazy. Your video a reminder to get motives. Thank you for the tips.
I'm grateful for such clarity. And for not being condescending!
Thank you for staying in touch with us! My favorite cardiologist!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! You have no idea how much you are a Godsend to me...and many others. I wish other doctors had your compassion and ability to explain things. God Bless you!
Dr. Gupta's compassionate style even permeates youtube for me, there is comfort knowing that I can come to his channel and absorb wisdom and deep kindness at any hour. Not to mention solid medical advice absent any bells or whistles.
You speak beautiful English, and don’t rush the explanations, that’s why people love your videos.
You must be a very busy doctor and we appreciate your time spent talking to us. Your care and kindness comes over, and you are not asking for money for expensive pills. Plain common sense good advice, which is tried and trusted is always the best.
I aim to get started today on some modifications to my lifestyle!
Only people with low IQ say to others your English is beautiful, back off
I'm a new sub and really found the info in this video extremely helpful. Thank you for being a really good doctor that doesn't just prescribe and actually addresses lifestyle. I'm a fan💖
Wow, you are an excellent doctor! Thank you for explaining everything so clear and in a different way.
Dr. Gupta is a gem in an otherwise bleak medical landscape of doctors that think only about money. His family surely is very proud of him and patients and CZcamsrs are immensely grateful for the information tirelessly and unselfishly provided. Thank you so much! I do hope though that dr. Gupta finds time to unwind every now and then.

I would love your stress management video as I do all those things like eating well magnesium,fish,fruit etc. Can’t help being scared of climate change
I have avoided meds.for years even though I knew my body is high.Now they have found two blocked arteries in the heart which I put down to « heartbreak » now they insist I must take beta blockers and statins etc I am frightened🤷🏾♀️🥺🙏🏼
Dr Gupta
Thank you so much for your excellent deliberation.
Oh god the message was so well communicated. I really liked two lines of the videos most that "changes make large/small impact" and "rootcause of high number in BP". These changes will definitely help and i will try to follow these. These changes will make person away from most of the health problem. But Dr i totally loved the way you conveyed the message, your voice and cute smiles in between would have reduced my BP by 2 mm for sure. Thank you
Awesome! I love listening to your advices. Very well said and im doing my exercise,diet,etc.to avoid high blood pressure. Thank you so much for all your help and advices...🥰🥰🥰
This video is so helpful! My BP tends to be high, and I very much want to get off the medication I' m taking. This information will be useful when I see my doctor in a couple of weeks--I've made lifestyle changes already and am seeing significant improvement.
Thanks so much -- every video Of yours that I've watched thus far has been helpful and informative. Much appreciated :-)
Thank you, it is so great to get this kind of advice!
I really enjoy your videos. I found them after I started getting ectopic heartbeats in March of this year. I especially like your approach to trying to minimise the amount of medications patients are given. Your videos about dealing with the anxiety have actually helped me feel better about my ectopics. Thank you so much for your videos!

I take it religiously ever since.

@@hotrodray6802 me too ! but there is that one day in a week or so that ill get them out of the blue but so far so good .
Thank you, Dr. Gupta!!! Best video I have seen about naturally reducing blood pressure and not pushing drugs!!!
I really appreciate the way you explain things. Easy to understand and follow. After having a heart attack this summer I have been making changes, this video helps!
Excellent presentation for layman on how to lower blood pressure .Less salt, less weight, more potassium, magnesium, exercise program. Thank your sincere concern.
Less salt? We only need 1 to 1 1/2 tsp of salt a day. How much lesser does one need?
Thank you so much for this video. I've seen bits and pieces of this around, but it's nice to have it all brought together by Dr. Gupta.
Just listening to your kind and reassuring voice and sensible advice has already lowered my blood pressure and has made me feel hopeful. Thank you.
Same to me.Allah bless you dr
Absolutely agree, such a calming voice that I feel instantly relaxed. Thank you for your advice Dr Gupta,
I do have high BP, and have had a very minor stroke (lacuna infarct) which interestingly almost completely eliminated irritable bowel spasms and pain that I’d had for 40years.I often say (jokingly) people who have chronic IBS need to also have treatment on the same sensory part of the brain. Fabulous advice, thank you. 🇳🇿🙏🏼
Dr Gupta’s videos are so encouraging when much of the medical ‘industry’ is moving in the direction of a pharmaceutical intervention for almost everything....I suspect because A) it is quicker to handle patients in an already overworked practice with a drug and B) there is money to be made from drug prescriptions (often for the patient’s life) rather than taking time to understand the individual who has a problem and then even more time to explain, educate and encourage the person to make the lifestyle changes that don’t make anyone a profit. The real profit is the improvement almost 100% of the time that the person (patient) makes. A Dr Sanjay Gupta video is a medicine in itself and one can almost feel the raised BP from stress or anxiety (when being confronted with the ‘talk’ about needing medications) lowering as we listen to common sense and genuine care about people from Dr G. How can we thank you.
Dr Gupta , I’m a constant follower of your videos and it’s highly informative and worth it . Thanks and keep posting such videos . Proud of you .
Thank you Doctor! This was a great lesson...simple and to the point, felt like you were talking directly to me.
I just have to say…. I was a huge hypochondriac years ago and found your videos back then and you helped me so much. I started getting really bad IBS and heart ectopic recently and found your videos again and they are so comforting. Thank you so much doctor. You are an Angel.
Ditto, except I'm still a hypochondriac 😀
I love your down to earth advice and recognising the root of the issue needs to be addressed not just chucking medication at the symptoms. I always wondered why immediately putting me on bp meds without finding an underlying cause was considered appropriate. Now, if l feel stuck on a medication, l didn't want.
You are such a Genuinely Lovely Man ! Thank You 🙏 xx
Sanjay, I love your videos. They bring awareness, educate and motivate one to value and take better care of our health - something most of us take for granted until we have problems. Sounds like many of them could have been avoided by diet and lifestyle. Lucky are the ones who learn this early but it's never too late to do something. You feel better, you look better, and hopefully it prolongs your life as well as making you feel better. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and encouragement. You may lose a patient but you contribute to a healthier people.
I like the South Beach Diet also. It is very similar to The Mediterrean Diet and was actually developed by a Cardiologist.
That was really helpful doctor .. I couldn’t thank you enough for the help that you’re doing …
Wonderful tips and clear explanation and advices. Thank you!! This is what I look for in a good doctor who don't just dish out medication without helping the patient to understand the problems and equipping/educating his patients to take charge of his health. 👍👍
Very good information. Thanks for your kindness otherwise doctor forcing the patients take more and more medication.
An excellent insight into the world of BP. I have been through many such videos from other persons, and here you summarized all the key points very well. I really appreciate the fact that you are more concerned about the under lying condition. The only other method I wish you would address a little more is deep breathing. My BP was 170/110 and reduced to now about 150/100 9with life style change, beetroot, exercise, magnesium citrate). If I deep breath (following Dr Adam J. Story on CZcams), I am able to lower this temporarily to around 144/95. Stress if a big factor and I find breathing helps. Look forward to your explanation on breathing, etc. please can you also create a video on how your online consultancy works for those of us overseas. Let me take this opportunity to invite you to Barbados at our home a holiday with your family after your recovery in quarantine. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Do you take any medications as well? I'm 59, I don't drink alcohol or smoke, I run and swim every day, and have no excess weight. My restting heart rate is 53, but my BP is 182/100. I/ve tried everything to get it down, but it won't. I'm reluctant to take any medications, as I've heard they can be bad for you over the long term. Maybe that's my normal numbers.
Try drinking hibiscus tea twice a day.
Thank you Dr Gupta for sharing your Gift 🎁 .... you are definitely saving lives 🙏🏽
Thank you for giving me Hope doctor. I am a grown man and I feel like crying right now after listening to this. Exactly what I needed today. Some hope.
You are doing a great service by putting across in a measured tone and in a persuasive manner , to reduce the stolic number. Thanks.
Wish you are in US!. Never met a doctor like you for the past 30 years in USA. Thank you so much for your time . Stay safe . God bless you!🙏❤️
What a lovely man you are🌸 Thank you for the wonderful information and the kind way you’ve presented it. I’ve been having very scary high bp lately. Been to the ER numerous times to get it down. I’ve just recently been diagnosed with hashimoto’s and tests have found that I also have zero estrogen or testosterone which I feel have all contributed to my bp levels being so high. I absolutely need to lose weight. I’m about 170 but am only 5’2 and just about to be 55. It’s a bit much to deal with so I wonder if all of your advice will still help me considering the other issues. Thank you again🙏🏼🌸
He's so wonderful . . . I hope you are able to find some relief with the bp, and your other issues. Just fyi, I too have zero estro/test/prog - and that started around age 45. I also had thyroid issues/partial thyroidectomy, but produce 'just enough' hormone to avoid thyroxin. I am 5'4 and 108 lbs, and really wish I could get more meat on my bones . . . does this help somehow? (from my perspective it is easier to lose than gain seroiusly).
Any way, I think that his advice can definitely still help you - and indeed I hope it already has. I am wishing you well. It is hard being in the ER with high bp, have been there a number of timew with scary tachycardia . . . and I wouldn't doubt that our thyroids have something to do with this.
But, we can still get our 'normal' bp down following his compassionate advice . . . so helpful!
Thank you for your information. Well worth listening to. Over the last two years by BP has risen, so I look forward to incorporating some of your ideas, particularly diet and exercise. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for your great understanding of hypertension and your wise solutions. You put people at ease about this subject and peace of mind is worth a lot!!!
Dr. Gupta....This video is like gold! Thank you for being a compassinate, caring doctor. This simple opens our eyes to a healthy, active lifestyle makes a difference and we have more control than we think. God bless dear sir!

Excellent video on BP. I’ve been taking Magnesium glycerinate for a number of years and it had been helpful. I have the classic “white coat “ syndrome. Every time I have it checked at the clinic it is high. I check my BP at home for a month before my annual physical and the doctor thinks that works. He did make me bring my BP monitor to the clinic to make sure it works.
Thanks again,
Les
I heard all of this before, but just hearing it from you, with practical mmHg numbers, really makes it seem achievable. I don't have much weight to lose, and I don't drink that much alcohol, but I'm doing all the other things you mentioned in this video. Thanks for putting this out; it really does help me to believe that what I'm doing is the right thing, and that it will help.
Thank you so much for your measured advice and kind manner. I so appreciate your recommendations.

Thank you for talking about lifestyle management. Most doctors do not.
This was great! Very motivating and encouraging. Thank you so much, Dr. Gupta!
@York Cardiology your video (3 questions to as your doctor before taking blood pressure medication) popped up at a most opportunistic moment for me. And just as I'm think how am I going to lower my BP, this video is the next one, God is so good.🙌🏾
Thank you so much for the information given, it's not a diet needed but a lifestyle change for me.
I don't eat land meat, just fish once or twice a month cod or tuna, I don't drink alcohol, smoke, but I also don't exercise and love sweet foods.
I know I need to cut ✂️ down my sugar intake, (my weight is just over 89kg) exercise portion control with food and exercise at least 5 to 6 days a week.
So I'm save this video and g start working on it today Monday 17th October 2022, and report back in a months time with the results.
Thank you once again and greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱🤗

Yes. Make yourself a healthier person. You are wonderful to give us all this wisdom. I got on a plant based/whole foods diet.

Thank you soooooo much Dr . for giving natural tips to reduce the blood pressure. Doctors like you are very rare. God bless you and your family with , health , happiness , wealth and everything you deserve.
This is the most comprehensive bp management info that i have ever found. Thank you doctor! Can you do a video on decreasing age related abdominal weight gain?
I appreciate his amazing offerings as well. A small tip for you though is that there really is no reason/such thing as 'age related abdominal weight gain'. I am not sure how much you have travelled, but in many parts of this globe there is no such thing. Even where I am, in the US, I can point to many who remain lean until the end, or actually lose weight/fat as the years roll by.
The universal struggle as we age is losing our Muscle Mass - a huge challenge.
So, maybe a few sit-ups/abdominal curls and other waist-height twisty exercises could help translate fat into core muscle, and you would be in the win-win corner? Take it from me that you are lucky you need to drop weight, as it is so much easier than trying to gain. So enjoy your progress toward slimming down!
🙏Thankyou Dr Gupta…this information is the most practical and understandable that I’ve found in my internet searching for some direction. Your beautiful kind gentle manner of imparting this sound advice is so reassuring. I’ve always believed there’s a root cause and to look deeper than the surface symptoms. I’m so grateful, thankyou x
Great tips. I’m keen to reduce my diastolic reading which is consistently 90 to 100 for several years. I am 70 and need to get this down due to a mild level of soft plaque noticed lately in the arteries. Many thanks
Very much enjoy your channel. Your delivery is easy to listen to, and clearly demonstrates your sincerity to improve healthy living. Thank you.
I enjoy watching and listening to your advices.Very educational and interesting to learn from your video. Keep it up Dr.Gupta. youre awesome!!!
Your advice and detailed information on HBP really helpful. I always get anxious whenever I see my pressure high, because of stressed and for many reason. Listening your info on this about the number, made my pressure down. Also made me think in different way on this issue. Thank you. May be Doctors need to be brave rather than keep prescribing medication.
So appreciative of the fact that there are many good Drs Who still have humanity at heart. I am 59 years old female just find out my BP 160/80 . Yet, in most of my life time tried to maintain a good healthy lifestyle as much as I could. Including eating clean,excercise regularly, moderate winning and no smoking. Hence, finding out I am with hypertension it came as a surprise. However,coming across this video and reading so many of the comments ,It gives me a slight of hope it is still possible to reduce the BP by following the provided suggestions. God help me I hate taking medicine
well are we talking about one single reading or a long-time reading-average?
Thank you Dr. You are the kinda dr we need today. Providing symptomatic relief is killing us slowly. I’m going to follow a few of these wonderful suggestions. Stay blessed Doctor Gupta.
Thank u doctor really grateful for not putting any background music or other noise Really enjoyed this quiet informative video
Just seeing this video now, excellent video and so nice to read the comments of ppl you have inspired
You are spot on with your description of how high Bp is handled by most providers. After 30 years of using prednisone, I started to have blood pressure issues which made my blood pressure dangerous. I went from taking one pill a day, to taking eight including clonodine. I was on a first name basis with the people that work in the emergency room. It took two years and hopping around to many doctors, before one said that I needed to stop the prednisone immediately. That’s all it took. I almost died because nobody gave a damn about the root cause. I love your channel. I thank you for keeping us educated as patients. ❤️
YES. Even the preventive asthma puffers raise BP. They "say" oh, it just gets into the lungs only - but if you think about it, the lunges are the great "exchange centre" where blood gets oxygenated and has zillions of tiny exchange pipes in the vasculature. So why would the corticosteroids not get into the system via the lungs? And put up the BP just like prednisone? Yup. Right.
Hello, I’m glad you are off prednisone. I’m on prednisone for 3 yrs and trying to taper it down but them symptoms you get when you lower the dose was just crazy feeling, fatigue, poor appetite just feeling weak and can’t do anything? How did you just get off it? Now my BP is high too
@@awalak7508 hello A, I’m sorry to hear this is your scenario. Stopping prednisone was difficult but not impossible. First this new doctor was behind me 100%. She is the one who said that was the cause. She ran tests to be sure my adrenals were still working ok (early morning cortisol). Once she knew that she also tested my PRA ratio. It is often a cause of hbp. Mine was off as a secondary cause (prednisone). Then I tapered slowly. Needed Xanax (small amount) to deal with the nervousness and anxiety. It took 4 months. I used a little scale to measure the weight of the pills as I cut them down. I’m grateful this doctor forced me to stop prednisone. Find a good endo to supervise during this process. Mine is in Florida. Saved my life.
Hello lovely man. You are helping me a great deal thank you so much. Can't wait for your reduce stress video.

Thank you so much for this information. "An unhappy body and an unhappy mind" - how very true!. One impinges on the other. For well over 15 years I have been adopting all the lifestyle changes that are recommended for controlling hypertension except for vigorous exercise which I find difficult because I have rheumatoid arthritis. Sadly, these changes have not really reduced the numbers on my BP readings. (around 145/80). I am stressed about this because I really, really have tried. At my last annual review, in desperation I asked my GP to prescribe BP lowering medication because I really do think being so hung up on food, exercise and controlling my BP naturally/by my own effort was actually doing almost as much harm as a poor diet and no exercise! Unhappy mind, unhappy body. Since taking the BP medication (one month in) my BP is now around the 125/75 mark, I feel more relaxed, less anxious and have LESS PAIN from my arthritis! Explain that!? I will continue with the the other recommendations and, hopefully, get more sustained exercise now that the pain is less. My ECG and blood work are normal. I'm 73. I don't have CKD but I have read that those with this disease should NOT increase their intake of potassium.
THANK YOU... you talk so much sense. I had type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and was overwieght. I was on medication that gave me massive heart pulpitations to the point i thought i was going to die - my heart was doing back flips. I stopped taking them immediatly and the pulpitations went away. Since then I have gotten rid of my diabetes by following a sugarless, low carb, non processed diet and now my blood pressure is much lower (i monitor it myself), I lost wieght and i'm no longer diabetic. I have started to walk (dog walk twice a day) and hike a lot and i feel 20 years younger with loads of energy. Thanks for all the tips and i know from experience that you can get your life back without medication (please tell your doctor if you come off meds though). Thanks again...
