It's flaxseed, he says it at 4:20 into the video. You're welcome. EDIT: as long as you're reading this, buy Bitcoin! Wealth will lower your blood pressure, too😂😂
My husband’s BP on April 3rd, 2024 was 170/110. We immediately went to our GP, where it shot up to 200/110. The GP referred my husband to a cardiologist who recommended a list of tests and gave Logimax 5/50, half a pill once or twice a day, depending upon how he was feeling. The BP still floated around 150/100 or around. I started reading about what I could do. First thing I did was stop him from finishing up an entire family pack of chips!! Luckily for us, he was a smoker and drank only socially. By today May 3rd, 2024, his BP is around 120/90… he has skipped his meds once in a while but here are the changes we have made to his diet, habits, activities, etc. Diet: No more than 10 grams of salt a day Lots of cucumber, tomatoes, red grapes, blackberries, blueberries, apples (MUST at each meal) Carb consumption is literally 10% of what he used to eat earlier. Regardless of what people say, 2 eggs (soft boiled) No packaged foods at all Replaced rice with quinoa All foods are cooked with flaxseed powder (sautéed veggies, lentils, whatever you make). He used to be a coffee drinker, which has been stopped. Now he drinks a “tea” that is just a bunch of spices I’ve ground and mixed and stored in a glass bottle. I mix it with my tea mix. Boil a tablespoon each of spice mix and tea mix in 1500 ml of water, fill in a jug and store overnight in the refrigerator to be sipped on the day next. The spice mix and tea mix is as below: Spice mix: Nigella seeds Fenugreek seeds Cumin seeds Coriander seeds Fennel seeds Cloves Cinnamon Tea Mix: Green Tea Lemon Verbena Rooibos Chamomile (Note: I found tea bags, so I just had to cut them and take out the tea, make a mix and store.) Keep a mix of all the above, upto you, you can make a fine powder or not… just store in a cool dry place, air tight container. I like to take a tablespoon of each, boil in hot water for 10 minutes and serve with: Slivers of fresh ginger Honey Fresh lemon juice (if I have any patience left in me). Exercises: He walks 30 minutes twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening Isometric exercises like wall sits and planks, etc. Breathing (take a lung full of air through your nose in 2 installments, hold 4 to 6 seconds, breathe out of your mouth in 2 installments. This is an Indian breathing exercise and it IMMEDIATELY works). Sleep - he is (& HAS to treat sleeping as an exercise for a better life, so he meditates for about 4 minutes (that’s all he can do before he starts talking 🙄🙄) before TRYING to sleep for 8.5 hours. He sleeps far less, but it’s the mindfulness that matters. Also his phone gets confiscated. Point is, diet, exercise, food as medicine, mindfulness, mindset, everything has to come together to heal the symptoms AND the cause. But here the fun part. While I have been reading and making immediate strict changes and throwing a VERY reluctant man out of the house for his walks and etc, my shoulders have become so sore, like I’m Atlas. So yes, it’s true when the statistics say that single women like happier and longer than the married women. 😂😂 Of course the above “rules” will relax in time, but right now he understands that everything is connected to everything, he is only as good as a LinkedIn advertisement for a role, he is NOT responsible for the company’s P&L, and there no alternative to being healthy. If he enjoys working, he should consider being healthy as well. No one likes a sick employee.
After watching this video, I bought a bag of ground flaxseed from Amazon to try it out. My blood pressure was (always) very high. After two weeks it’s dropped within normal range. Yes, I take bp meds but nothing seemed to help lower it. I’m so happy I came across this. I trust these guys. Good luck with yours.
You guys are true saints. I dropped my blood pressure 30 points systolic and 20 points diastolic using flax seed and apple sauce. I added 1 tbsp chia seeds for good measure along with beet root extract supplements. Full disclosure I added 25 min cardio per day too and lost 20 lbs. the point is you guys got me going down the path of a) measuring my blood pressure daily and b) putting more focus on my health. Blood pressure is not a disease, it’s an indicator of a problem. And simply lowering blood pressure thru meds does not solve the underlying condition that caused the heart to increase the pressure to get sufficient oxygen to the organs. Thanks again guys!
@@samuraisamu6307 You can also eat beets or juice 🥤 it with ginger and apple 🍏 for fast results. I did before my physical I had and it dropped real quick. But definitely you need to keep moving. Walking, bicycling, weight lifting 🏋🏾♀️ or yard work.
I always respected you guys, but when you mentioned Dr. Greger, I was IMPRESSED! You are very knowledgeable, incredibly helpful, but your best gift to us is how open-minded you are to new ideas that really work! THANK YOU.
In 2 days I reduced my wifes pressure from the 140s to about 113. I just give her some celery, beet juice and also hibiscus tea morning and evening. Go natural first 🎉
2T GROUND FLAX SEED DAILY. Stir in unsweetened applesauce, over salads, in yogurt, or any other food you eat. Lowering sodium use is another suggestion they had in the beginning of the video. How Not To Die book by Dr Greger.
I had irregular heartbeats (PVC's) and high BP for years. About six months ago I saw this video and started adding flaxseed to smoothies. I no longer have the irregular heartbeats, at least not noticeably as before. I can't prove flaxseed did it, but I will keep taking it. My BP is also lower, but I am also on BP medicine.
Dr. Greger is my hero.....changed my life on July 4, 2017. Also has a great cookbook. Getting his new book... How Not to Diet. His app....The Daily Dozen... keeps me on track daily! Have my flax seed every morning. He is a doctor scientist! I thank God for him every day!!! Plant strong at age 72 in Orange County, CA. ( You guys are fabulous....such fun and a happy watch. Thanks for your informative 'show'..been highly beneficial to me.) 💕
Keep the whole flaxseed in the cupboard but once ground, should be kept in the refrigerator otherwise it will go rancid. 1 T of ground flaxseed is delicious on top of steel cut oats with sweet cherries. Yum!
On your advice I've been taking flax seed regularly with yogurt for a few months. It also helped my IBS. After watching this video again, I rushed to the library and borrowed the book you recommended. And surprise, I was able to get it right now, no wait list! Thank you!
*GROUND Flaxseed goes rancid extremely fast.* MUST Refrigerate. Better yet, buy whole seeds and grind small amounts at a time with a coffee grinder. Rancid oil is extremely unhealthy.
Robin Servetter Exactly. I always keep my ground flaxseed in the freezer. I put it on my greens salad everyday. BTW I have the book they mentioned. It’s excellent. Dr Greger has a great web site.
@@shahajadyakter And you might as well say you worship satan because there's no allah a false god, there's only one true living God and his name is YEHOVAH! Look up Ron Wyatt and see the proof of my God YEHOVAH!

@@shahajadyakter - we understand you are trying to help people find the truth. The question is, will you accept the truth if others have it ? the archeology of the Middle East proves Islam's stories about its origin cannot be true. Islam was created over centuries by the Caliphs to enslave other humans. The archeology is really interesting. Here's a video that explains the archeology "An Historical Critique of Islam's Beginnings" czcams.com/video/Zd9lIuUjPs0/video.html Allah is indeed the greatest of deceivers, as the Koran says many times, but this is not a good thing.
Every person’s body’s deficiency (ies) is different but I appreciate knowing this! I agree with the commenter below, ground flaxseed goes rancid quicker than whole seeds, so refrigerate in between uses. Maybe considered purchasing a mini grinder. Instead of limiting my sodium, I have issues with being overweight so I cut the carbs and my values went down nicely. In my case, insulin was the culprit, so lowering my carb intake caused my body to let go of the sodium and other and minerals (potassium/magnesium). It’s important to note that these minerals (ALL OF THEM) will have to be added back into the diet to keep the muscles from cramping, or becoming sluggish.
So glad you revealed this! I do have ground Flaxseed, have it sometimes in my oatmeal such as this AM. AND just had some in some applesauce. It is VERY GOOD! I’ve also found that taking magnesium as a supplement, also lowers blood pressure. This got me down from from 140/80 to 111/51! It’s also been helping me sleep as I’ve suffered from bouts of insomnia for many years! This also helped my husband as he loves his salt shaker, but I’ve also switched to Morton’s Lite Salt. As I do not add salt when I cook, this has helped a lot too. Keeping ourselves well and off of prescription meds is important. These meds are not derived from food and so our bodies have trouble clearing these from our bodies and in older people, like me (I’m 69) these toxins can build up and cause other problems. Best is to find foods which heal and they won’t give you Alzheimer’s which my dad died of, nor diabetes like he had too and was on both a Statin and Diabetic medication and heart meds. My mother also lost her mind but she died as a consequence of breast cancer as did my sister. My defense is to eat a Whole Food Plant-Based diet. I learn all the time. And that I am retaining the information means I am avoiding the Alzheimer’s too. Thank you so much for sharing this information!
Dr. Greger (the author of "How Not to Die") recommends a whole food plant based diet. He has an ad free CZcams channel and free web site called nutritionfacts.
@@someguy2135 I do watch Dr. Gregor. Thanks for the tip too. Every now and then I am still picking up things either I’ve missed or just didn’t pay attention to. Thanks!
Apparently people who talk a lot are at lower risk for Alzheimer's. Did you know that? It's a real peer-reviewed study, although I can't remember the citation for that. So let's keep communicating to keep our minds sharp.
You can lower your own blood pressure in most cases by just doing deep breathing and then take your BP again. If you decide you are cutting back on salt, then drink more water and lose weight, you can lower blood pressure in most cases. My BP is always good and I put 1 Tblsp ground flaxseed in my oatmeal daily. My BP is usually 110/66. If I take 2 Tblsps instead for a month, my BP drops more and then I get dizzy when I get up. So I use 1 and that works well for me.
Follow these steps Early to bed and early to rise 2 Drink enough water 3. Make alkaline water to drink 4. Think less , feel more 5. One hour exercise daily, And sweat 6. Deep breathing in green area 7 practise mindfulness 8. Listen to the call you your body and decide your food preferences accordingly 9. Cut down on sodium 50% diet should be which is coming directly from nature, totally unprocessed. 10. Stay away from negative emotions and people 11. Green vegetables and fruits 12 Avoid meat in any form, but egg whites can be taken. 13 learn any art, be music, painting 14. No junk food 15 love yourself
maldives-joshua joseph I agree, he talks around too long, I hate it and not patient enough to watch to the end , bye now, never come back to this Chanel again , forget about subscribing it 🙄🙄
My first time watching these guys . I like them and subscribe to their channel. If any one is to busy to learn something new and wants a McDonald’s run then this is not a place for you and don’t complain !!!! I’ll go to a restraunt and relax and learn.
For me, celery, beets, cucumber extracted juice work great lowering my BP. I went from 160/87 to 116/70 in less than 2 months. My doctor was extremely excited, as I had a brain aneurysm due to the high blood pressure. I was pregnant a that time too! Can you imagine? Thanks God both my son and I are good, so far.
Celia Pacheco, thank you very much for this information. I would like to try this remedy so can you explain the amounts of each that you juice and how much you consume each day. Thanks.
@@judyclark967, 2 stalks celery, 1 small beet(you can use its leaves too), 1 cucumber, made in a juice extractor, first thing in the morning and drink as soon as is made, once a day. Good look dear.
I have been having border line BP all these years. On average it sits right at 140-150/ 85-95 consistently and that is when I am totally relax. Under stress it shot up to 160/100 easy. Tried everything on the internet including youtube but nothing works. Exercise almost 5 days a week and having a BMI of only 20 and I prep my food all the time without consuming excessive salt, do not smoke or drink alcohol at all. Consulted numerous doctors as I do not wanna go for medication to control my BP, and most of them concluded that I am most probably suffering from white coat syndrome as few of them put me thru 24 hr ambulatory BP monitor and it came back my BP recorded normal reading. Not totally convinced with that, I never gave up exploring every thing that might help. To my surprised, lately I discovered my elevated BP reading was actually due to insufficient protein intake to my daily diet. Once I consistently hit my protein macro after tracking my calories and macro daily, my health improves significantly and not to mention I no longer suffer from insomnias which haunted me for the past 15 years at least. Do not under-estimate the importance of your macro, protein especially, it is so vital in helping your body to lose weight and maintain precious muscles and most importantly your BP. Give it a shot before you blame it on salt intake, our body needs salt to function properly and buy quality salt for yourself if you value your own health. In short, PROTEIN solves my BP issue
Reading the excellent advice in the comments, I'm thinking Bob and Brad should update this video with some of that information: -ground flax seed, not whole -keep it refrigerated -flaxseed may have effects on hormones -use flax seed, not oil etc. Those comments were more helpful to me than this particular video (sorry guys-I hate to leave a negative comment. Love the PT videos though 😊)
I thought they were going to say bananas. I had the same problem this lady had. My blood pressure was really high (160/90) and I was having headaches every day. My cardiologist prescribed me Lisinopril and I took it for 8 months. I started eating foods high in potassium: bananas, oranges, oatmeal, milk, cheese, avocado, yogurt and a lot of water. 8 months later, my blood pressure was normal. It has been normal for more than 5 years now. I know the problem may comeback one day; therefore I keep checking my blood pressure every week.
Hello.... did you start eating those foods high in potassium while still taking lisinopril? That's awesome you're BP med free! I just started lisinopril 2 months ago and want to eat healthy and exercise so that I can get off this med.
@@sonyas7422 Yes, I did. exercising, drinking lots of water, eating bananas, oranges, avocados, etc. Also cooking more at home. Losing 10 pounds makes a big difference in your hypertension. At the beginning I was taking Lisinopril 15 mg; I think it was after 2 months the dosage was decreased to 10 mg. Then a few more months and the dosage went down to 5 mg. After a while, I did not need the med anymore.
Thanks for letting people know about Dr. Greger. I keep telling my daughter about your channel everytime she complains about aches and pains. Thanks for all you do. The flax seed must be ground. I add mine to oatmeal with blueberries. Yummmm
Please warn people that flax seed (ground) can turn rancid very quickly. I bought from a reputable shop, but broke out in hives as soon as I used it the first time. It's better to buy whole flax seeds and ground a little bit at a time. Also, you need to keep it refrigerated.
Watched an earlier video they did about flaxseed and breathing myBP was 161/ 101 ,taken by a visiting nurse I had bought an electric monitor but hadn't ever used it thought it was too complicated she showed me and couldn't believe how easy it was, over the weekend took it but I was a nervous wreck waiting on the numbers which were higher because of the stress of thinking I'm going to have a stroke, how and ever I used Bob and Brad's video because of their calming effect of distressing a situationAfter a week of putting their advice to work my readings went to 134/ 71 and continues to do well even had 124/68.
There is a strict regime for taking B.P. Sitting quietly, having the right sized Cup, not speaking, relaxing, having feet on ground. Search online for the right protocol. Otherwise the readings are simply not going to be accurate.
you guys are funny! Her BP issues sound just like mine. Same numbers too - Thanks for posting this, I will definitely try this starting tonight and read the book as well - love your videos, thank you!
Thanks for posting this. The flaxseed has really helped to lower my blood pressure. I use it everyday. I put it in my oatmeal or cereal in the morning.
Thank you guys sooooo much. I love the synergy between you two that's the ingest reason I love watching your channel 🥰🥰!!! I can't wait to try this because I was worrying my blood pressure even higher not wanting to the the meds. Thank you sooooo much 💕
@James Lee cool! That's quite rapid. If his wife has any atherosclerosis/Cardiovascular Disease in her family I'd consider she have a stress test and/or ultrasound of her veins to see if hardening of the arteries and narrowing could be a contributing reason for the high bp.
Me last time at the hematologist (I have hemachromatosis): 2nd story climb to his office: BP 142/83. Downstairs intake for phlebotomy 15 minutes later: 133/78. Post phlebotomy: 123/70. Three BPs taken within an hour of each other. Three different readings.
One of my friends has the "white coat hypertension" they mention... her blood pressure goes up whenever she is in for anything medical. At home, or even at the corner drug store, she tests and it's NEVER high!
im 43yo my bp was 140/100, after taking flaxseed and 150 mins exercise/week it went down to 125/90. You can see the result just after doing this only for 1 mth
I use flax when baking, if it calls for two cups of flour I put 1and a half, and put half cup of flax’s . You can do his with cookies, muffins, pizza dough, or if you’re making bread. And I always cut the sugar too about half in all recipes ..
My husband tried ground flaxseed consistently for over a year with no benefit to his blood pressure. I guess everyone's system is different, and you have to find what works for you.
Then have him try a diet change like the one recommended in the book. Another good book that touches on the topic of diet and high blood pressure is Proteinaholic. Cheers.
Grind your own flax and add it to your food when are ready to eat. Do not grind any ahead Do not heat or cook flax If you buy flax oil it should have a pleasent flavor If not don't consume Unless you can buy locally it is very hard to find fresh flax oil Ground flax is an excellent source of fiber. Hemp oil may be a better oil than flax oil as it does not spoil as easy It should be kept refrigerated Never heat any oil that is high in omiga 3 GOOD LUCK PS try a vegan diet for. 2 or 3 weeks. You wiil be amazed Eat a wide variety Organic is best No refined foods of any kind
In my case, "salt" is NOT the cause of my hypertension, but food sensitivities and Candidida/Yeast/Fungus. This explains why I have resistant hypertension.
Nice presentation of the work of dr Michael Gregor and the one food that can lower bloodpressure “Ground flaxseed two tablespoon a Day” - in unsweatened applesauce.
WOW!!! I tried the flaxseed powder and after just 3 days, I saw readings I’d never seen before. 96 over 63. Normally I’m in the high 120s. Sometimes over 130. The doctor who wrote that book should be honored along with you guys for informing us . THANK YOU!!!
I don't have a blood pressure problem but a lot of other people I know do and so could you please tell us again that you are not exaggerating because some people are saying that this is not possible to get the kind of relief from high blood pressure with flaxseed powder .
Thank you so much !! It really helps lower my blood pressure from 150/100 to 115/75. It took me few weeks to see the result(2 tbsp before bed). I have no idea that one food will change my blood pressure so much and i am off from my medication(covasc 5mg). I am so grateful! Ty again!
The best thing is to do as much as you can do and see what happens. I was able to drop it from 150/100 to 110/65 but I cut out salt, lost 20 lbs and I increased my run to 40 miles a week. The more you can do the better.
You run nearly 6 miles a day and still had blood pressure problems? Athletes that train that much typically don't have 20 extra pounds they can lose either. They are already pretty much as lean as they can get without resorting to drugs or eating disorders.
I’m going to tell you about five common ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen that can cure high blood pressure. 1) Pomegranate juice - This elixir has enough medicinal value to earn the name ‘wonder fruit.’ Scottish researchers from Queen Margaret University have identified how amazing it works for lowering blood pressure. 2) Celery - A recent study based in China, published by the National Institute of Health (NIH), hails celery as a great natural option for reducing blood pressure. More than 87% of the participants showed a reduction in blood pressure after consuming celery regularly. 3) Melatonin - It’s been used for years as a natural sleeping medicine with no side effects. But surprisingly, an Italian research study published in the American Journal of Hypertension shows it also brings blood pressure down while you sleep. 4) Hawthorn - Hawthorn extract and hawthorn berries have been shown to have very good blood pressure-lowering effects, almost equivalent to prescription drugs. The best thing about hawthorn is that it not only lowers blood pressure, but also strengthens heart muscles. 5) Quercetin - A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has reported that a 200 mg supplement of quercetin increased levels of nitric acid in the blood, thus dilating blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. But we saved the best for last. The most effective, quickest and easiest way to lower blood pressure naturally are 3 easy blood pressure exercises. Click here : tinyurl.com/yy2443ya?
Kind of surprising it could have that much effect on it's own. I've been on a mild BP medication for a few years and have been regularly cycling most of my adult life. I weaned myself off soft drinks 10 years ago. But I was starting to see BP readings that I didn't like, similar to your wife's. I really don't like taking unnecessary medications so have strong incentive to not want my prescription increased. I stopped most of the crap I was eating, started putting flax and chia seeds in my oatmeal and yogurt. Also replaced my afternoon coffee with green tea. After a few weeks of this, my BP has read no more than 130/90 the last several days. Not totally sure if it is all due to what I am doing or what I am NOT doing. Maybe some of both ends of that?
Follow up 3 months later, I've lost about 24 pounds and BP is averaging 121/83, so what I've been doing is working. Though im not certain which things are having the greatest influences on it. I also started reading How not to die. Some great info, though I take the claims of how effective some things are with a grain of salt. Im a skeptic by nature. The book is actually easier to absord than his corresponding podcast, as he is quite monotone and hard to listen to.
The biggest thing that helps is less worry! If you're doing something positive for yourself, you destress a bit and that adds to the effect of whatever you try...
I wanted to thank you for sharing this anecdotal remedy for hypertension. I was having a hard time keeping my blood pressure below 140/90 and went on meds for 3 days but the meds were okay and I had side effects including a very fast heart rate. I added 2 tbsp. flaxseeds to my oats this morning and 'wowsa' my blood pressure was generally below 120/80. Thank you, thank you. I thank your wife as well. This is a miracle and I will be sharing this information as much as I can. I also took supplements COQ10, turmeric-Omega 3, Vitamins B and C. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing...my pressure is around 139/89 and I begin not to feel so good at that range. I'm buying flaxmeal now. Praise God! I started back doing my exercise too. I have no choice otherwise I'll need meds.
Dr. Greger is great! My life changed due to the documentary "Forks Over Knives." Dr. Greger was featured in that one. He recommends a whole food plant based diet. He has an ad free CZcams channel and free web site called nutritionfacts.
Research has shown that the BP taken at a doctor's office is way off of what an individual's BP actually is. The best way to take the BP is through ambulatory means. In other words, that is wearing a portable cuff and the BP being taken over a 24-hour period. Several years back a study was done in Australia where 8500 patients were given a portable cuff and the BP taken over a 24-hour period. Then, the BP was taken by a nurse and later by a doctor. It was found that when the nurse took the BP it was 17 points higher than the ambulatory BP. When the doctor took it the BP was 29 points higher. The fact is that most doctors don't take into account what is termed "white coat hypertension" or the anxiety of getting the BP taken at a doctor's office. Need to also remember that BP changes constantly and that is why ambulatory BP is the most effective means of gaining the numbers. The thing about anxiety is they most of the time you never realize that you are anxious. So, it is difficult to know whether the BP is high because of anxiety or not. You can also get this same kind of anxiety with your taking your BP at home. But usually your BP will be lower at home than at the doctor's office. Many researchers are stressing the ambulatory BP means over that at the doctor's office. I truly recommend that you watch this video (3 blood pressure exercises that you can use to reverse your blood pressure) click here:get-videos.website/curehighbloodpressure/
Ground flaxseed goes really well with oatmeal! I’ve found the brown flaxseeds to give more desirable texture, combining very nicely with the oatmeal, while it seems the golden flaxseed gives a more pasty consistency.
I buy 25 pounds bag Golden Flax seeds from Seven Day Adventist Health Foods, grind it up and take 4 tbsp daily for 20 years without knowing it is good to lower blood pressure. I inherited heart problems and strokes from family. I am 77 exercises daily if my health permits, healthy eater, with VERAPAMIL 240mg blood pressure medication my records are: 123/82 to 130/83; after work out a-lot lower 101/67 to 110/74
@@michelleconnor7669 till it looks sorta like brown sugar. Like where it’s enough that you don’t see any that actually look like the little seeds left. (Not terrible if you don’t grind it to that small, but the whole seeds won’t really absorb nutrients into your body.) Grind in coffee grinder for like 10-30 seconds should do it. Depends on how much you try grinding.
Actually two supplements lowered my pressure after my cardiologist couldn’t get it down below 150/90. I now take 250mg of Magnesium (oxide and Gluconate) before I go to sleep. It’s also a great sleep aid. When I wS a patient at NYU Langone in early Oct they gave me a magnesium drip to lower because I was slightly deficient. GNC works for me. I also started taking the Amino Acids l- Arginine and Ornithine with the Magnesium. It lowered my pressure quickly by over 10 pts on both pressure levels. No side effects except a great night’s sleep. I get the Amino acid duo at Vitamin Shoppe - their brand. Really worked my internist was impressed I take one Amino Acid tab - not 2 as shown on bottle but but no problem taking both. Pretty amazing. Fairly inexpensive per day for both.
Beet root powder worked wonders for me I was so skeptical at first but gave it a try and honestly it's amazing.. Also gonna start taking the magnesium oxide at night before bed as well🙏🏽
I did the same thing with coconut oil. One teaspoon put in mouth, drink down hot coffee. Took 3 months and all my labs were at normal ranges. I was at and over 140/90 but elderly so they did not care. Coconut Oil works.
I drastically altered my diet and have lost weight, but I am still firmly obese via BMI. My blood pressure went from 147/79 to 125/75 in a month of altering my diet. Switched to only lean meats, lots of whole grains with some fruits and veggies. And minimal necessary fats, trying to keep them on the healthy oils side. So can't be sure which food helped. But I suspect I am getting less sodium and a lot less animal sources of saturated fat. But I am 100% on board with whole grains now. And I have been a low carb person for the past 20 years.
My BP went up waiting on the ingredient!
Exactly true
Hahaha
Hahahaha 🤣
Lmao 😂
Agree..
It's flaxseed, he says it at 4:20 into the video. You're welcome.

Thank you!
My husband’s BP on April 3rd, 2024 was 170/110. We immediately went to our GP, where it shot up to 200/110. The GP referred my husband to a cardiologist who recommended a list of tests and gave Logimax 5/50, half a pill once or twice a day, depending upon how he was feeling.
The BP still floated around 150/100 or around. I started reading about what I could do. First thing I did was stop him from finishing up an entire family pack of chips!! Luckily for us, he was a smoker and drank only socially.
By today May 3rd, 2024, his BP is around 120/90… he has skipped his meds once in a while but here are the changes we have made to his diet, habits, activities, etc.
Diet:
No more than 10 grams of salt a day
Lots of cucumber, tomatoes, red grapes, blackberries, blueberries, apples (MUST at each meal)
Carb consumption is literally 10% of what he used to eat earlier.
Regardless of what people say, 2 eggs (soft boiled)
No packaged foods at all
Replaced rice with quinoa
All foods are cooked with flaxseed powder (sautéed veggies, lentils, whatever you make).
He used to be a coffee drinker, which has been stopped. Now he drinks a “tea” that is just a bunch of spices I’ve ground and mixed and stored in a glass bottle. I mix it with my tea mix. Boil a tablespoon each of spice mix and tea mix in 1500 ml of water, fill in a jug and store overnight in the refrigerator to be sipped on the day next. The spice mix and tea mix is as below:
Spice mix:
Nigella seeds
Fenugreek seeds
Cumin seeds
Coriander seeds
Fennel seeds
Cloves
Cinnamon
Tea Mix:
Green Tea
Lemon Verbena
Rooibos
Chamomile
(Note: I found tea bags, so I just had to cut them and take out the tea, make a mix and store.)
Keep a mix of all the above, upto you, you can make a fine powder or not… just store in a cool dry place, air tight container.
I like to take a tablespoon of each, boil in hot water for 10 minutes and serve with:
Slivers of fresh ginger
Honey
Fresh lemon juice (if I have any patience left in me).
Exercises:
He walks 30 minutes twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening
Isometric exercises like wall sits and planks, etc.
Breathing (take a lung full of air through your nose in 2 installments, hold 4 to 6 seconds, breathe out of your mouth in 2 installments. This is an Indian breathing exercise and it IMMEDIATELY works).
Sleep - he is (& HAS to treat sleeping as an exercise for a better life, so he meditates for about 4 minutes (that’s all he can do before he starts talking 🙄🙄) before TRYING to sleep for 8.5 hours. He sleeps far less, but it’s the mindfulness that matters. Also his phone gets confiscated.
Point is, diet, exercise, food as medicine, mindfulness, mindset, everything has to come together to heal the symptoms AND the cause.
But here the fun part. While I have been reading and making immediate strict changes and throwing a VERY reluctant man out of the house for his walks and etc, my shoulders have become so sore, like I’m Atlas. So yes, it’s true when the statistics say that single women like happier and longer than the married women. 😂😂 Of course the above “rules” will relax in time, but right now he understands that everything is connected to everything, he is only as good as a LinkedIn advertisement for a role, he is NOT responsible for the company’s P&L, and there no alternative to being healthy. If he enjoys working, he should consider being healthy as well. No one likes a sick employee.
After watching this video, I bought a bag of ground flaxseed from Amazon to try it out. My blood pressure was (always) very high. After two weeks it’s dropped within normal range. Yes, I take bp meds but nothing seemed to help lower it. I’m so happy I came across this. I trust these guys. Good luck with yours.
You guys are true saints. I dropped my blood pressure 30 points systolic and 20 points diastolic using flax seed and apple sauce. I added 1 tbsp chia seeds for good measure along with beet root extract supplements. Full disclosure I added 25 min cardio per day too and lost 20 lbs. the point is you guys got me going down the path of a) measuring my blood pressure daily and b) putting more focus on my health. Blood pressure is not a disease, it’s an indicator of a problem. And simply lowering blood pressure thru meds does not solve the underlying condition that caused the heart to increase the pressure to get sufficient oxygen to the organs. Thanks again guys!
Hello Pedro! Can you share the beet juice supplements you are taking?
@@samuraisamu6307 You can also eat beets or juice 🥤 it with ginger and apple 🍏 for fast results. I did before my physical I had and it dropped real quick. But definitely you need to keep moving. Walking, bicycling, weight lifting 🏋🏾♀️ or yard work.
It's a combination of everything.

Eat them.
YES EXACTLY ITS INDICATING THAT YOU’RE CONSUMING TO MUCH SALT/SODIUM AND LDL CHOLESTEROL YOU HAVE TO CLEAN THE SODIUM OUT !!!!
I always respected you guys, but when you mentioned Dr. Greger, I was IMPRESSED!
You are very knowledgeable, incredibly helpful, but your best gift to us is how open-minded you are to new ideas that really work!
THANK YOU.
This REALLY does work! Thank you sooo much! I will continue to incorporate this practice
Flaxseed may be good for BP but your good humour and lightness in treating the subject also helps healing. You're two lovely guys!!!!
Flaxseed (2 tbl.) added to my oatmeal every day in place of a flaxseed oil capsule recommended by a doctor a long time ago.

Thank you so much.
I sped through this bilge to find that out too.

THANK YOU!!!
flaxseeds? i just take it by the spoonful with water, same with hemp hearts and chia seeds. :)
Bless you! This was actually raising my BP!
In 2 days I reduced my wifes pressure from the 140s to about 113. I just give her some celery, beet juice and also hibiscus tea morning and evening. Go natural first 🎉
Dr. Greger is my go-to for all health issues. And of course, you guys are a great resource as well! Thanks for all your videos!
2T GROUND FLAX SEED DAILY. Stir in unsweetened applesauce, over salads, in yogurt, or any other food you eat. Lowering sodium use is another suggestion they had in the beginning of the video. How Not To Die book by Dr Greger.
The reason we are seeing longer videos is that youtube is encouraging and rewarding it.
It certainly encourages longer commercials!! 😒
Longer commercials discourage my attendance!@@
I took your wife’s advice and it worked for me too!! I went from BP 131/81 to 116/74 in two weeks! Thank you for the advice
So, you eat this once a day
Did you get any gas with it throughout the day?
Is it once a day: 2tablespoon flax seeds with how much applesauce. Thanks
I had irregular heartbeats (PVC's) and high BP for years. About six months ago I saw this video and started adding flaxseed to smoothies. I no longer have the irregular heartbeats, at least not noticeably as before. I can't prove flaxseed did it, but I will keep taking it. My BP is also lower, but I am also on BP medicine.
Dr. Greger is my hero.....changed my life on July 4, 2017. Also has a great cookbook. Getting his new book... How Not to Diet. His app....The Daily Dozen... keeps me on track daily! Have my flax seed every morning. He is a doctor scientist! I thank God for him every day!!! Plant strong at age 72 in Orange County, CA. ( You guys are fabulous....such fun and a happy watch. Thanks for your informative 'show'..been highly beneficial to me.) 💕
I was really hoping he was going to say triple whopper. Damn.
😄
Rusty youre funny 😆
ME TOO
Rusty Shackleford thanks man, I’m sorry Dale keeps using your name as an alias.
I woulda settled for the IMPOSSIBLE whopper but oh well. Flaxseed it is.
It works! Plus breathing deep and hold 4 seconds and slowly breath out. Keep doing this thru the whole, it helps!
You guys hasn't shown up in my recommended feed for about a year!!! So good to see you back
Keep the whole flaxseed in the cupboard but once ground, should be kept in the refrigerator otherwise it will go rancid. 1 T of ground flaxseed is delicious on top of steel cut oats with sweet cherries. Yum!
Make sure you grind the seeds first. I use my coffee grinder. Keep ground seeds in refrigerator. Don't use fax oil. Dr. Greger rocks! Read the book!!
Why not the oil?
Thank you for your time and effort, also no ads,free knowledge with entertainment
On your advice I've been taking flax seed regularly with yogurt for a few months. It also helped my IBS. After watching this video again, I rushed to the library and borrowed the book you recommended. And surprise, I was able to get it right now, no wait list! Thank you!
*GROUND Flaxseed goes rancid extremely fast.* MUST Refrigerate. Better yet, buy whole seeds and grind small amounts at a time with a coffee grinder. Rancid oil is extremely unhealthy.
Good point!
I keep it in the freezer, it lasts for awhile in there.
Robin Servetter Exactly. I always keep my ground flaxseed in the freezer. I put it on my greens salad everyday. BTW I have the book they mentioned. It’s excellent. Dr Greger has a great web site.
If it is kept n fridge, do u know how long it will last
Carolyn Louise Well, probably longer than it would take you to consume it if you took it every day...
Chronic dehydration causes high BP. Most people are dehydrated.

Every person’s body’s deficiency (ies) is different but I appreciate knowing this!
I agree with the commenter below, ground flaxseed goes rancid quicker than whole seeds, so refrigerate in between uses. Maybe considered purchasing a mini grinder.
Instead of limiting my sodium, I have issues with being overweight so I cut the carbs and my values went down nicely. In my case, insulin was the culprit, so lowering my carb intake caused my body to let go of the sodium and other and minerals (potassium/magnesium). It’s important to note that these minerals (ALL OF THEM) will have to be added back into the diet to keep the muscles from cramping, or becoming sluggish.
Ko
I buy whole flaxseed, and after I grind it, I refrigerate it. You could freeze it if you preferred.
Especially if you use the oil form or the ground seed form, keep in fridge! Even the seed itself is best to refrigerate or at least in cool place.
Wow. Thank you so much for posting this. I needed this info.
Watching this video gave me high blood pressure .... GET TO THE POINT !
😅

Try Dr Bergman he's for real czcams.com/video/XtrwET33aeo/video.html
EXACTLY!!!!
I am on my 2nd week of the Carnivore diet and my systolic BP went from 140's to 120's.
So glad you revealed this! I do have ground Flaxseed, have it sometimes in my oatmeal such as this AM. AND just had some in some applesauce. It is VERY GOOD!
I’ve also found that taking magnesium as a supplement, also lowers blood pressure. This got me down from from 140/80 to 111/51! It’s also been helping me sleep as I’ve suffered from bouts of insomnia for many years!
This also helped my husband as he loves his salt shaker, but I’ve also switched to Morton’s Lite Salt. As I do not add salt when I cook, this has helped a lot too.
Keeping ourselves well and off of prescription meds is important. These meds are not derived from food and so our bodies have trouble clearing these from our bodies and in older people, like me (I’m 69) these toxins can build up and cause other problems.
Best is to find foods which heal and they won’t give you Alzheimer’s which my dad died of, nor diabetes like he had too and was on both a Statin and Diabetic medication and heart meds. My mother also lost her mind but she died as a consequence of breast cancer as did my sister.
My defense is to eat a Whole Food Plant-Based diet. I learn all the time. And that I am retaining the information means I am avoiding the Alzheimer’s too.
Thank you so much for sharing this information!
Dr. Greger (the author of "How Not to Die") recommends a whole food plant based diet.
He has an ad free CZcams channel and free web site called nutritionfacts.
@@someguy2135 I do watch Dr. Gregor. Thanks for the tip too. Every now and then I am still picking up things either I’ve missed or just didn’t pay attention to. Thanks!
@@courag1 My pleasure! 🌱
Apparently people who talk a lot are at lower risk for Alzheimer's. Did you know that? It's a real peer-reviewed study, although I can't remember the citation for that. So let's keep communicating to keep our minds sharp.
You can lower your own blood pressure in most cases by just doing deep breathing and then take your BP again. If you decide you are cutting back on salt, then drink more water and lose weight, you can lower blood pressure in most cases. My BP is always good and I put 1 Tblsp ground flaxseed in my oatmeal daily. My BP is usually 110/66. If I take 2 Tblsps instead for a month, my BP drops more and then I get dizzy when I get up. So I use 1 and that works well for me.
Golden ground flax organic Red Mill great in smoothie. Make sure to store it in the fridge. Gluten free
Garlic cloves and Hibiscus tea also work to lower Blood pressure.
Follow these steps
Early to bed and early to rise
2 Drink enough water
3. Make alkaline water to drink
4. Think less , feel more
5. One hour exercise daily, And sweat
6. Deep breathing in green area
7 practise mindfulness
8. Listen to the call you your body and decide your food preferences accordingly
9. Cut down on sodium
50% diet should be which is coming directly from nature, totally unprocessed.
10. Stay away from negative emotions and people
11. Green vegetables and fruits
12 Avoid meat in any form, but egg whites can be taken.
13 learn any art, be music, painting
14. No junk food

For me, celery, beets, cucumber extracted juice work great lowering my BP. I went from 160/87 to 116/70 in less than 2 months. My doctor was extremely excited, as I had a brain aneurysm due to the high blood pressure. I was pregnant a that time too! Can you imagine? Thanks God both my son and I are good, so far.
Please did you combine all of these or was it one at a time ?? Thanks
@@shadeosibodu3277 Yes, is all combined. I did it in the morning because it gives a lot of energy! Hope you'd get same results!

I have been having border line BP all these years. On average it sits right at 140-150/ 85-95 consistently and that is when I am totally relax. Under stress it shot up to 160/100 easy. Tried everything on the internet including youtube but nothing works. Exercise almost 5 days a week and having a BMI of only 20 and I prep my food all the time without consuming excessive salt, do not smoke or drink alcohol at all. Consulted numerous doctors as I do not wanna go for medication to control my BP, and most of them concluded that I am most probably suffering from white coat syndrome as few of them put me thru 24 hr ambulatory BP monitor and it came back my BP recorded normal reading.
Not totally convinced with that, I never gave up exploring every thing that might help. To my surprised, lately I discovered my elevated BP reading was actually due to insufficient protein intake to my daily diet. Once I consistently hit my protein macro after tracking my calories and macro daily, my health improves significantly and not to mention I no longer suffer from insomnias which haunted me for the past 15 years at least. Do not under-estimate the importance of your macro, protein especially, it is so vital in helping your body to lose weight and maintain precious muscles and most importantly your BP. Give it a shot before you blame it on salt intake, our body needs salt to function properly and buy quality salt for yourself if you value your own health.
In short, PROTEIN solves my BP issue
Wow, this is inspiring 😊😊
Please like what and what proteins did you mostly focus on so I can give it a try 🙏
Plz tell us about protein
There are all types of protein. I wish you would’ve shared which kind. Red meat is protein but I have read that it is not good for the body.
@Bahrain Food & Life Talks eat any other beans , beans have alot of protein in it , u ann also do fish and chicken
Thankyou!
Reading the excellent advice in the comments, I'm thinking Bob and Brad should update this video with some of that information:
-ground flax seed, not whole
-keep it refrigerated
-flaxseed may have effects on hormones
-use flax seed, not oil
etc.
Those comments were more helpful to me than this particular video (sorry guys-I hate to leave a negative comment. Love the PT videos though 😊)
Salt is a secondary factor czcams.com/video/MyNCH0dK7Fk/video.html
So glad you mentioned this book!
I thought they were going to say bananas. I had the same problem this lady had. My blood pressure was really high (160/90) and I was having headaches every day. My cardiologist prescribed me Lisinopril and I took it for 8 months. I started eating foods high in potassium: bananas, oranges, oatmeal, milk, cheese, avocado, yogurt and a lot of water. 8 months later, my blood pressure was normal. It has been normal for more than 5 years now. I know the problem may comeback one day; therefore I keep checking my blood pressure every week.
And you still take the medicine? Or you stopped it with the healthy diet?
@@citrine65
I have been free of meds for the last 5 years. My high BP may comeback one day, but so far, I am doing well.
Hello.... did you start eating those foods high in potassium while still taking lisinopril? That's awesome you're BP med free! I just started lisinopril 2 months ago and want to eat healthy and exercise so that I can get off this med.
@@sonyas7422
Yes, I did. exercising, drinking lots of water, eating bananas, oranges, avocados, etc. Also cooking more at home. Losing 10 pounds makes a big difference in your hypertension. At the beginning I was taking Lisinopril 15 mg; I think it was after 2 months the dosage was decreased to 10 mg. Then a few more months and the dosage went down to 5 mg. After a while, I did not need the med anymore.
Am going to try the Flax Seed starting this week and will report my progress-
So glad to have found your wonderful channel! Thanks guys!
Thanks for letting people know about Dr. Greger. I keep telling my daughter about your channel everytime she complains about aches and pains. Thanks for all you do. The flax seed must be ground. I add mine to oatmeal with blueberries. Yummmm
Please warn people that flax seed (ground) can turn rancid very quickly. I bought from a reputable shop, but broke out in hives as soon as I used it the first time. It's better to buy whole flax seeds and ground a little bit at a time. Also, you need to keep it refrigerated.
Thanks.
You only have to refrigerate after you grind it or use a blender. Ground flaxseed lasts about a week. Whole flaxseed lasts a year.
Watched an earlier video they did about flaxseed and breathing myBP was 161/ 101 ,taken by a visiting nurse I had bought an electric monitor but hadn't ever used it thought it was too complicated she showed me and couldn't believe how easy it was, over the weekend took it but I was a nervous wreck waiting on the numbers which were higher because of the stress of thinking I'm going to have a stroke, how and ever I used Bob and Brad's video because of their calming effect of distressing a situationAfter a week of putting their advice to work my readings went to 134/ 71 and continues to do well even had 124/68.
Nice I’m voting to try this
There is a strict regime for taking B.P. Sitting quietly, having the right sized Cup, not speaking, relaxing, having feet on ground. Search online for the right protocol. Otherwise the readings are simply not going to be accurate.
Love you guys love the banter. Bought the book!! Thank you!!
1/2 tsp, GREEN CARDAMOM in your drink - morning & evening works as well.
Ground cardamom?
Man people complain but I find the rambling entertaining and informative

I just found this show couple weeks ago and I love it. Nothing like that Canadian sense of humor, I’m a yank and think you guys are great! Thanks.
I put 2 tbls in my green smoothies. Ground flaxseed really does work! Thanks for this video!
Beets (fresh is probably better) also lower bp too. And magnesium and potassium do also.
@James Lee cool! That's quite rapid. If his wife has any atherosclerosis/Cardiovascular Disease in her family I'd consider she have a stress test and/or ultrasound of her veins to see if hardening of the arteries and narrowing could be a contributing reason for the high bp.
Magnesium works. Dropped my wife's BP about 20 points.
Naren Unadkat thanks
Be careful taking potassium supplements. Americans get too much already. You will find yourself in the ER getting Lasix to stop heart failure.
Flaxseed didn’t lower my bp
Me last time at the hematologist (I have hemachromatosis): 2nd story climb to his office: BP 142/83. Downstairs intake for phlebotomy 15 minutes later: 133/78. Post phlebotomy: 123/70. Three BPs taken within an hour of each other. Three different readings.
One of my friends has the "white coat hypertension" they mention... her blood pressure goes up whenever she is in for anything medical. At home, or even at the corner drug store, she tests and it's NEVER high!
im 43yo my bp was 140/100, after taking flaxseed and 150 mins exercise/week it went down to 125/90. You can see the result just after doing this only for 1 mth
Thank you for sharting this guys. Trying it tomorrow!!!
Besides using ground flaxseed, one should always keep the ground seed in the refrigerator or freezer as to not lose its potency.
I had it go rancid when I used to store it in the cupboard. Tastes much better longer if refrigerated.
Grind it fresh as needed. It becomes rancid very quickly.

Thank you for the tip!
Love it! Knew this but happy to be reminded.
I use flax when baking, if it calls for two cups of flour I put 1and a half, and put half cup of flax’s . You can do his with cookies, muffins, pizza dough, or if you’re making bread. And I always cut the sugar too about half in all recipes ..
My husband tried ground flaxseed consistently for over a year with no benefit to his blood pressure. I guess everyone's system is different, and you have to find what works for you.
Then have him try a diet change like the one recommended in the book. Another good book that touches on the topic of diet and high blood pressure is Proteinaholic. Cheers.
Lisa S some folks have good results from using red beets. You can buy it in powder form to add to smoothies, soups etc.
Grind your own flax and add it to your food when are ready to eat. Do not grind any ahead
Do not heat or cook flax
If you buy flax oil it should have a pleasent flavor
If not don't consume
Unless you can buy locally it is very hard to find
fresh flax oil
Ground flax is an excellent source of fiber.
Hemp oil may be a better oil than flax oil as it does not spoil as easy
It should be kept refrigerated
Never heat any oil that is high in omiga 3
GOOD LUCK
PS try a vegan diet for. 2 or 3 weeks.
You wiil be amazed
Eat a wide variety
Organic is best
No refined foods of any kind
Lisa ,a small glass of raw beetroot juice will work wonders for him
Try beets, if you want to lower the blood pressure within 10 minutes
In my case, "salt" is NOT the cause of my hypertension, but food sensitivities and Candidida/Yeast/Fungus. This explains why I have resistant hypertension.
Fungus how?? Can you elaborate please?

The best thing is to do as much as you can do and see what happens. I was able to drop it from 150/100 to 110/65 but I cut out salt, lost 20 lbs and I increased my run to 40 miles a week. The more you can do the better.
really is this fr
You run nearly 6 miles a day and still had blood pressure problems? Athletes that train that much typically don't have 20 extra pounds they can lose either. They are already pretty much as lean as they can get without resorting to drugs or eating disorders.
I’m going to tell you about five common ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen that can cure high blood pressure. 1) Pomegranate juice - This elixir has enough medicinal value to earn the name ‘wonder fruit.’ Scottish researchers from Queen Margaret University have identified how amazing it works for lowering blood pressure. 2) Celery - A recent study based in China, published by the National Institute of Health (NIH), hails celery as a great natural option for reducing blood pressure. More than 87% of the participants showed a reduction in blood pressure after consuming celery regularly. 3) Melatonin - It’s been used for years as a natural sleeping medicine with no side effects. But surprisingly, an Italian research study published in the American Journal of Hypertension shows it also brings blood pressure down while you sleep. 4) Hawthorn - Hawthorn extract and hawthorn berries have been shown to have very good blood pressure-lowering effects, almost equivalent to prescription drugs. The best thing about hawthorn is that it not only lowers blood pressure, but also strengthens heart muscles. 5) Quercetin - A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has reported that a 200 mg supplement of quercetin increased levels of nitric acid in the blood, thus dilating blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. But we saved the best for last. The most effective, quickest and easiest way to lower blood pressure naturally are 3 easy blood pressure exercises. Click here : tinyurl.com/yy2443ya?
Kind of surprising it could have that much effect on it's own. I've been on a mild BP medication for a few years and have been regularly cycling most of my adult life. I weaned myself off soft drinks 10 years ago. But I was starting to see BP readings that I didn't like, similar to your wife's. I really don't like taking unnecessary medications so have strong incentive to not want my prescription increased. I stopped most of the crap I was eating, started putting flax and chia seeds in my oatmeal and yogurt. Also replaced my afternoon coffee with green tea. After a few weeks of this, my BP has read no more than 130/90 the last several days. Not totally sure if it is all due to what I am doing or what I am NOT doing. Maybe some of both ends of that?
YoSpiff, was coffee causing some of your blood pressure issues? I have high bp and I might try the green tea instead of coffee.
Follow up 3 months later, I've lost about 24 pounds and BP is averaging 121/83, so what I've been doing is working. Though im not certain which things are having the greatest influences on it. I also started reading How not to die. Some great info, though I take the claims of how effective some things are with a grain of salt. Im a skeptic by nature. The book is actually easier to absord than his corresponding podcast, as he is quite monotone and hard to listen to.
The biggest thing that helps is less worry! If you're doing something positive for yourself, you destress a bit and that adds to the effect of whatever you try...
Great video guys! Great chemistry too!
I wanted to thank you for sharing this anecdotal remedy for hypertension. I was having a hard time keeping my blood pressure below 140/90 and went on meds for 3 days but the meds were okay and I had side effects including a very fast heart rate. I added 2 tbsp. flaxseeds to my oats this morning and 'wowsa' my blood pressure was generally below 120/80. Thank you, thank you. I thank your wife as well. This is a miracle and I will be sharing this information as much as I can. I also took supplements COQ10, turmeric-Omega 3, Vitamins B and C. Thank you!
His experience is anecdotal.
There is actual Scientific studies showing the benefits of Flax seeds on BP.
Thank you for sharing...my pressure is around 139/89 and I begin not to feel so good at that range. I'm buying flaxmeal now. Praise God! I started back doing my exercise too. I have no choice otherwise I'll need meds.
Flaxseeds retain their health properties even when cooked. You can add them to bread, in soups, in porridge you name it. 🤗
most breads are high in salt...
In Sydney that’s the beauty of homemade. You can add no salt if you wish! 😊

Thank you Bob and Brad!!
I am a HUGE fan of Michael Greger's work. You guys can do no better than recommend How Not To Die. It is the one book that truly changed my life.
Dr. Greger is great! My life changed due to the documentary "Forks Over Knives."
Dr. Greger was featured in that one.
He recommends a whole food plant based diet.
He has an ad free CZcams channel and free web site called nutritionfacts.
Research has shown that the BP taken at a doctor's office is way off of what an individual's BP actually is. The best way to take the BP is through ambulatory means. In other words, that is wearing a portable cuff and the BP being taken over a 24-hour period. Several years back a study was done in Australia where 8500 patients were given a portable cuff and the BP taken over a 24-hour period. Then, the BP was taken by a nurse and later by a doctor. It was found that when the nurse took the BP it was 17 points higher than the ambulatory BP. When the doctor took it the BP was 29 points higher. The fact is that most doctors don't take into account what is termed "white coat hypertension" or the anxiety of getting the BP taken at a doctor's office. Need to also remember that BP changes constantly and that is why ambulatory BP is the most effective means of gaining the numbers. The thing about anxiety is they most of the time you never realize that you are anxious. So, it is difficult to know whether the BP is high because of anxiety or not. You can also get this same kind of anxiety with your taking your BP at home. But usually your BP will be lower at home than at the doctor's office. Many researchers are stressing the ambulatory BP means over that at the doctor's office.
I truly recommend that you watch this video (3 blood pressure exercises that you can use to reverse your blood pressure) click here:get-videos.website/curehighbloodpressure/
I am not able to get this video. Access is denied. Is there a CZcams version of the same video ?
@@krishnasree3967 so basically what they said is to eat flaxseeds daily
Fantastic book, also dr. furhman, eat to live. Love your channel!
My goodness you have made my blood pressure go up from 120 over 80 to 200 over 90 .
Ground flaxseed goes really well with oatmeal! I’ve found the brown flaxseeds to give more desirable texture, combining very nicely with the oatmeal, while it seems the golden flaxseed gives a more pasty consistency.
I added flax ground while cooking cereal. Big mistake. Slimmey stringy. Sprinkle on after it's cooked.
mist Yes, good note. Definitely add it after oatmeal has already been cooked.
I buy 25 pounds bag Golden Flax seeds from Seven Day Adventist Health Foods, grind it up and take 4 tbsp daily for 20 years without knowing it is good to lower blood pressure. I inherited heart problems and strokes from family. I am 77 exercises daily if my health permits, healthy eater, with VERAPAMIL 240mg blood pressure medication my records are: 123/82 to 130/83; after work out a-lot lower 101/67 to 110/74
How ground up does it need to be?
@@michelleconnor7669 till it looks sorta like brown sugar. Like where it’s enough that you don’t see any that actually look like the little seeds left. (Not terrible if you don’t grind it to that small, but the whole seeds won’t really absorb nutrients into your body.) Grind in coffee grinder for like 10-30 seconds should do it. Depends on how much you try grinding.
Actually two supplements lowered my pressure after my cardiologist couldn’t get it down below 150/90. I now take 250mg of Magnesium (oxide and Gluconate) before I go to sleep. It’s also a great sleep aid. When I wS a patient at NYU Langone in early Oct they gave me a magnesium drip to lower because I was slightly deficient. GNC works for me. I also started taking the Amino Acids l- Arginine and Ornithine with the Magnesium. It lowered my pressure quickly by over 10 pts on both pressure levels. No side effects except a great night’s sleep. I get the Amino acid duo at Vitamin Shoppe - their brand. Really worked my internist was impressed I take one Amino Acid tab - not 2 as shown on bottle but but no problem taking both. Pretty amazing. Fairly inexpensive per day for both.
Beet root powder worked wonders for me I was so skeptical at first but gave it a try and honestly it's amazing.. Also gonna start taking the magnesium oxide at night before bed as well🙏🏽
Izzy, Wow. Did you take the supplements with any BP meds? Or only supplements?
@@ELBrown213 I tried beet root powder for a month every morning. NOTHING. I tried beet juice for 2 weeks a glass every morning. Nothing.
Olive Leaf Extract also works very well. It's Expensive but cheaper than doctor visit.
I loved the honesty about the wife and you.
I did the same thing with coconut oil. One teaspoon put in mouth, drink down hot coffee. Took 3 months and all my labs were at normal ranges. I was at and over 140/90 but elderly so they did not care. Coconut Oil works.
It may help with blood pressure, but coconut oil is very high in saturated fat. That can lead to high cholesterol!
@@someguy2135 but it did not
all my labs became normal
show a case where cholesterol rose
It's honestly a great book, everyone should read it.
I drastically altered my diet and have lost weight, but I am still firmly obese via BMI. My blood pressure went from 147/79 to 125/75 in a month of altering my diet.
Switched to only lean meats, lots of whole grains with some fruits and veggies. And minimal necessary fats, trying to keep them on the healthy oils side.
So can't be sure which food helped. But I suspect I am getting less sodium and a lot less animal sources of saturated fat. But I am 100% on board with whole grains now. And I have been a low carb person for the past 20 years.
One more vote here for Michael Greger. We all owe this wonderful man so much.
