i want to discuss why fasting can help lower your  blood pressure high blood pressure or hypertension  

usually has no symptoms you don’t know what’s  going on unless you get your blood pressure tested  

and if you’re getting older it might  be a good idea to have a blood pressure  

cuff around just to assess this there’s two  types of hypertension you have primary and  

you have secondary 95% of all hypertension cases  are primary okay hypertension and that’s related  

to lifestyle and so if you look this up they’re  going to mention you know consuming too much salt  

having obesity smoking drinking alcohol the  recommendation is consuming a healthy diet  

i love it but if you dig further into what they  recommend as a healthy diet that’s where you get  

the problem because they’re recommending  fruits vegetables whole grains they have  

to stick the whole grains in there less than  30% of your calories being fat and of course  

they recommend avoiding the saturated fats  of course and then they recommend less than  

10 percent simple sugar so they’re allowing up  to 10% of all your calories being simple sugars  

wow amazing well what does that come out to in  teaspoons 12 teaspoons a day because it’s 50 grams  

of sugar that’s what they’re allowing okay  that’s considered part of a healthy diet  

now before i see anything else i want to give  a disclaimer i’m not recommending you coming  

off your medication without the help of your  doctor okay just giving you data to think with  

so there was a study called the sprint trial  study in 2015 where they tested people over 50  

years old with high blood pressure and they found  that they lived a little bit longer when they took  

multiple medications for hypertension okay that  sounds pretty good but here’s the problem with  

that they found significant risks with this  benefit of living longer and that risk is a  

significant increased risk in kidney disease okay  and so if something can help you yet it comes with  

this other thing that can hurt you it’s not the  ideal situation from my viewpoint now the other  

interesting thing about this study is they they  didn’t use everyone that had high blood pressure  

they only used a fraction of the people that had  high blood pressure and their pool of people that  

they were using the ones that were the most severe  and so if you don’t have a severe high blood  

pressure problem then this data on it helping you  live longer would be invalid because they didn’t  

test those people shifting gears there was another  study on 174 individuals who did fasting and yes  

it was medically supervised but there was a 90%  success rate of lowering blood pressure into a  

fairly good range when people did fasting but my  question is why well this is why because fasting  

is the most powerful way to lower insulin  and when you have high insulin because you  

have insulin resistance the arteries become  very very stiff and so one of the root causes  

of hypertension is a blood sugar problem coming  and being caused by insulin resistance and high  

levels of insulin but the high levels of insulin  that should normally lower the blood sugars  

is not working because of the insulin resistance  the point is this if you have insulin resistance  

you’re at risk of getting hypertension and this  is why people that have the metabolic syndrome  

syndrome x one part of that is hypertension  and the common thread with that condition is  

high levels of insulin hyperinsulinemia okay  that’s the medical term but it’s basically just  

insulin resistance all right so what should you  do if you have high blood pressure start fasting  

immediately start doing intermittent fasting  that right there might just totally handle it  

and then you can get with your doctor and uh  work together to wean off your medication all  

right number two add vitamin d vitamin d is a very  powerful uh natural remedy for high blood pressure  

next point is potassium start taking more  potassium if you’re low in potassium your  

arteries can get very stiff so potassium makes the  arteries very very soft and flexible i put a link  

down below with other benefits from potassium  all right add vitamin k2 why because vitamin k2  

helps remove excess calcium from the arteries  okay so it’s going to make the arteries more  

pliable elastic because calcium tends to make  them more rigid vitamin d and k2 work together  

this is why one of the remedies for hypertension  is calcium channel blockers why are they blocking  

calcium because the calcium is making things very  very stiff and vitamin k2 can help counter that  

and then add magnesium ideally you should get your  magnesium and potassium from leafy greens large  

amounts of salad but you can also add magnesium to  your diet like magnesium orotate is a really good  

one and watch your blood pressure come down those  are all the nutritional things that can help you  

but if you add fasting and a low carb diet which  will also help insulin resistance i think that  

would be a really good plan to avoid high blood  pressure and i just want to mention this point  

when doing research on this topic it’s just  amazing how much data that is put out there  

on the front page of google in fact it’s not just  on the first page on google it’s uh it’s on the  

first five pages of google all the links it’s  just you get all this data all this information  

what i try to communicate in the videos all the  videos that i do is the important stuff not the  

trivial stuff so when you’re doing research in  the area of health problems and many other things  

you have to dig through all the fluff all the  minutia all the trivial stuff to find the gold  

and so i just want to let you know that i spent  a lot of time in focusing on this one point is  

just giving you the most important stuff and  not the trivial all right thanks for watching  

hey before you go real quick i have a course  entitled how to bulletproof your immune system  

it’s a free course i want you to take it and  here’s why here’s you here is your environment

everyone is focused on this over here  avoiding your environment but what about here  

what about strengthening your immune system  that’s what’s missing this course will show  

you how to bulletproof yourself and so you can  tolerate and resist your environment much better  

by strengthening your own immune system i put  a link down in the description right down below
