| 0:00.0 | So if you guys have any questions whatsoever about keto or in a minute fasting, |
| 0:04.4 | whether you're starting keto as a new person or just need to debug your program or we have a question about a product. |
| 0:10.5 | Call one of our keto consultants. They'll be able to help you. Call 5405.7. |
| 0:29.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Hey guys, very quick video, very simple technique to lower your blood pressure just by changing your breathing. |
| 0:50.0 | There's a part of the nervous system called the autonomic nervous system and that makes up the systolic which is the top number 120 over the bottom number 80 diastolic and these really represent the sympathetic which is is the flight or fight, the contraction, versus the parasympathetic, which is rest and digest the relaxation. |
| 1:10.0 | So the diastolic is the vascular system's ability to relax and the systolic is your vascular system's ability to contract. Okay, very simple. |
| 1:20.5 | So a lot of times the systolic might go up first, too high, and then both of them start going up. |
| 1:27.0 | And there's all different types of variations, but what I want to get into is just a simple, simple technique technique because if you actively breathe in a certain way |
| 1:35.2 | you can induce a relaxation into your autonomic nervous system. So when someone's stress, |
| 1:41.3 | their breathing is very erratic. They might breathe in very, very slowly, |
| 1:46.4 | but then they might breathe out really fast, like, |
| 1:48.7 | hhh, that type of thing. So if you just breathe in very slowly and you count to five, okay? |
| 1:57.2 | And you match your exhalation with five seconds and do that for two or three minutes or maybe up to five minutes you're going to find |
| 2:04.6 | your whole body going into a really nice relaxed state. |
| 2:08.8 | So I would recommend doing this before you go to bed while you're driving if you're stressed out. So you just |
| 2:15.1 | want to slowly breathe in five seconds through your nose and then five seconds out. |
| 2:24.0 | Through your nose. |
| 2:25.0 | Very slowly. |
| 2:27.0 | In and out, and it's just going to just start calming you. |
| 2:30.0 | And it's a great technique also for insomnia |
| 2:32.0 | if you want to really go to sleep a little bit faster. |
| 2:34.6 | Go ahead and try it and then comment below and tell me what happens. |
