I'd be interested in knowing your thoughts on what an acceptable amount of potassium is for those of us on a blood pressure med that can mix poorly with it. I'm on lisinopril and am supposed to avoid too much potassium, though I've never been informed what amount is too much (100 mg?...300 mg?..1000 mg?). Like most everyone else, I would love to get off this medication one day. I keep hearing, on this site and many others, about the miraculous and natural blood-pressure lowering effects of potassium while also being told to avoid it if taking lisinopril.

FROM BOLIVIA---------BRAVO, ------------- CLASS ACT AND GREAT INFO

Dried apricots and unsalted nuts. A nice snack. 😀

explained very well....simple and lucid.....why can't there be more docs like this?

You are a very caring doctor. Thanks for very good info in teaching people how to live better and not quick to talk about drugs

You should create a poster or chart and sell them for displays in all doctors exam rooms and waiting rooms. It could be life saving. It also should be required, in my opinion.

another ACE upload DR god bless you

I’ve been to my doctor to have my blood pressure taken. On several instances, especially when my readings were a little elevated, I’ve been told to stand for the test. The nurse said this method is acceptable for elderly people when they have high readings. Is this true? If so, why? If not, why not?

Dr tobe honest there is no cure medicine that can eliminate BP?? My blood pressure is changing in a minute. I can have three different readings in two minutes. Why?

No ! i know my rights .

I don't know . my husband was a vegetarian and never smoked but he dropped dead from harding of the arteries

Dr Story, what about add some laughter with all the points you just mentioned

Elderly patients who medicate their diastolic bp below 70 have an elevated risk of dementia.

If the apricots were “gassed” with sulfur vapor before being sun dried, they would retain their orange color. The apricots are brown-black because they’re oxidized.

This info is amazing!!! They absolutely rush to that it and use the first number they see

Whatcabout a video if your BP is too low.. how to raise it

The bigger issue that most doctor's offices do not follow the proper procedure to take a resting blood pressure and that distorts the numbers also.

Thanks.

I take Losartin 50 mg a day and I drink LMNT unflavored in my coffee and my PA wants me to stop the LMNt but I sleep so much better now..😢

It's good to have options! Thanks!

I eat celery with my oil free hummus for a snack. Tastes much better than chips. I eat almost no processed foods. Blood pressure is fine. I am 75.

apricots are high in sugar

OK, with the snacks again! Why is there a need for snacks at all? Breakfast, lunch, dinner, 1,2,3. Eat proper meals. Stop being the kind of person who has to keep stuffing his face all day. Why is that so difficult? It's six hours from lunch to dinner. It's four hours from breakfast to lunch. I realize he's getting at the value of this for blood pressure, but this is the connected and underlining issue. I personally pooh pooh any need for organic food, and therefore it's kind of random chance if I happen to buy some organic, but sure, all dried fruit is great if it's not too pricey. For me that means not snacking, but having it for breakfasts or for after dinner.

Thank you dear doctor 🙏🏻

Great video Doc ….. Those little suckers can also cause 💩if you aren’t careful ! Love em though 👍

I take Morningstar minerals fulvic acid. Also a reputable company but they don't charge $70 for a little bottle.

Is there any difference between blood pressure and blood oxygen levels?

Nice tip. I will purchase these. What I don't understand is why potassium supplements come in such low amounts. Adult men require about 3,400 mgs of potassium, and I see some supplements with as little as 90 mgs, which is only two percent of the required amount. I have never seen any supplements which go beyond 1200 mgs.

I always purchase that brand of dried fruits at my organic food market............along with the magnesium....

I actually don't like fresh fruit I prefer dried fruit I'm not worried about the sugar, besides apricots what other dried fruits are good healthy for blood pressure?

Dr. Doobie has a good heart.

What about fresh apricot, or tinned? Fresh has less sugar than dried. Cheese usually has high sodium..

When I was first diagnosed in 1994 I had a 24 hr monitor on and mine was going up to 224/140 when I was asleep !!! Needless to say I've been on medication ever since but I was told it was Heridatory rather than lifestyle

Look like Dates?

Thank you so much Dr. Adam..

thank you ,Adam

Love ,Adam ,thank you ,too

Darn, was hoping it was oreos

Hi doc,nice one with the organic apricots,the old potassium move,how about dried banana chips.? Too much sugar? Bad idea,i,ll go with your organic apricots,big love doc.thanks

Thanks Adam..you just answered my question

Thank you !!😊

Adam..what about the amount of fructose in them if I have IR

Apricots really are tasty and add fiber too.

You could also eat additional fiber to slow the sugar absorption. Thanks for the video!

I hope Dr. Goobie could reach to this video because your words are gold, Doc!

Thanks Dr. Story! Always dropping gems 💎 ❤.

thank you ❤ I have been a victim of all that wrong mention of taking my blood pressure and I thank you for this information .
