Today, I want to share an interesting home remedy that can potentially lower your risk of hypertension.
Many people with high blood pressure are told to reduce their sodium intake. However, a deficiency in sodium can lead to high blood pressure. A low-salt diet can actually worsen your blood pressure.
In my opinion, potassium is one of the key factors in restoring healthy blood pressure levels. Not decreasing sodium—just increasing potassium.
Vitamin D is also important for someone with hypertension, especially essential hypertension.
Insulin resistance is at the heart of metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a combination of hypertension, high blood glucose, fatty liver disease, and high cholesterol. It’s crucial to go on a low-carb diet to support healthy blood pressure levels.
Natural alternatives for hypertension:
1. Consume more potassium (vegetables)
2. Go on a low-carb diet
3. Take vitamin D or get more sun
You can also try an incredible and simple breathing technique to help lower your blood pressure fast. This technique is called paced breathing.
Take six complete breaths per minute. Slowly breathe through your nose using your chest, inhale for five seconds, and exhale for five seconds. Do this periodically throughout the day.
Other potential benefits of paced breathing:
• It can help increase oxygen saturation
• It can help increase exercise tolerance
• It can help decrease sympathetic overdrive

0:00.0 | I have some very interesting information I want to share with you on a home remedy to lower the risk of hypertension. |
0:07.0 | Now what's fascinating about hypertension is that 95% of all hypertension is called essential hypertension or it's called primary hypertension or it's called |
0:17.0 | primary hypertension or it's called idiopathic hypertension all All that means the same thing. Unknown cause. They don't know what causes it. I mean that is so bizarre to me. 95% of all |
0:30.3 | hypertension is just an unknown cause. After all these years we don't know what causes it. Of course we do know how to treat it though, right? We do know how to treat it with medication. |
0:39.0 | So today I'm going to share with you |
0:45.0 | what I think is the true root cause of hypertension and so you can very easily deal with it in a natural way |
0:50.0 | and I'm going to show you an amazing technique to drop your blood pressure if you have high blood pressure within minutes and it's very very cheap in fact it will cost you nothing. |
1:00.0 | Wait all you hear how utterly simple this is, okay? |
1:03.6 | But first I need to share with you what causes the blood pressure to go higher or lower. |
1:09.2 | There's certain receptors in your arteries called barrel receptors, okay? And you have this whole |
1:16.1 | connection with the nervous system that goes right up into the brain stem and the barrel receptors are the things inside the arteries or veins that pick up information and they send it through the nervous system. |
1:28.0 | And this whole thing is controlled by what's called the autonomic nervous system, where you have the sympathetic and the |
1:35.2 | parasympathetic. You see when we look at blood pressure, we're dealing with systolic |
1:39.4 | which is the maximum pressure of contraction and then diastolic is the minimum amount of |
1:44.9 | pressure in the relaxation phase in the cardiac cycle and normally the systolic |
1:50.3 | should be 120 and the diastolic should be 80 and a normal person at rest. But of course that's |
1:56.8 | this average, right? It can vary depending on a lot of different factors. When it gets to the |
2:01.1 | point of like 140 over 90 or more it becomes hypertension. |
2:05.2 | So what can go wrong with this baroreceptor? Well the first thing that can go |
2:09.0 | wrong is a problem with the electrolytes that control this receptor and then primarily I'm talking about |
2:17.1 | sodium and potassium. Okay now what's interesting about what most people are told about high blood pressure is that they must reduce the amount of sodium, but when you start having a sodium deficiency that starts to create dysfunction within the barrel receptor. |
2:33.8 | So yes, you're gonna retain less fluid, right? |
