High Blood Pressure Warning (7 Foods to STOP Eating Now)

High Blood Pressure Warning, the foods you eat can raise or lower your blood pressure, you get to decide each meal. Much of the nutrition advice you received in the past was just wrong. This video will help you understand which foods lead to high blood pressure, and which ones lower your blood pressure.
Lowering your blood pressure through diet is not so much about what you add to your diet, but what you removed from your diet. You can do this with the proper knowledge.

[@geraldtrudeau3223]

I had a flight surgeon once told me that if I just eliminated five items from my diet, my weight would go down, My overall health would improve. I tried it and he was right. What he advocated was basically a carnivore diet, and this was 30 years ago. The five items are; wheat, sugar, rice, potatoes, and corn, and the things made with these products like bread and pasta You see how that dovetails into the carnivore diet. I followed his advice as well as I could under my life circumstances, and in a year I lost 75 lbs. I believe if I had been more rigorous I could have accomplished that goal a lot faster.

This doctor is right on point, when I was eating all those 7 foods, I kept wondering why my ankles and legs kept swelling up, and I was gaining weight. I have high blood pressure. When I wasn't eating those things my ankles went down, my legs went down. I started drinking more water, my kidneys we're working better. And my weight is going down. I will try to stay away from that stuff, because I notice people who have high blood pressure, their body is not able to metabolize carbohydrates into energy, instead into high levels of potassium, proteins and fatty tissues in the liver, that's why we swell up, and gain a lot weight, so this is right on point, I subscribed to his channel, been there and done that

I have lost over 80 pounds and have been pretty close to zero carbs (haven't had these foods for over 3 years), and also do a lot of intermittent fasting, with occasional extended fasting. While I have numerous great victories related to that weight loss, my blood pressure is still high. Triglycerides have come down, but still not perfect. And after all this time of no carbs and lots of fasting, still have high fasting insulin. Essentially I still have 40 pounds to lose, and still have most of the signs of metabolic syndrome. So what I think I'm saying is that just not eating these foods will work if you've been metabolically deranged for over 40 years like I have -- you may have to lose all the weight, and keep it off for a long time. Fortunately I enjoy these foods and this lifestyle, so I don't mind keeping up the work. But it's not necessarily quick or easy. Good luck.

Long way to go but it is a journey. Keep meals simple. Red Green Meat and leafy veg. I made a venison chili stir fry with Napa cabbage the other day and it was amazing. Keep the meat on the rare side. I add spinach, kale or a cabbage (regular, napa, bok choy) to most meals. Start working out. Try tai chi, qi gong to get your body limber. do weight training but simple, light weight, high reps. Walk everyday at least 30 minutes at a brisk, but comfortable pace. As you drop weight, you will be able to increase lean mass and do more. Be patient, it took you a while to get wherever you are, and it will take time to get where you want to go.

i've been taking Edarbyclor for 3 years for my high blood pressure. i started strict keto about 6 weeks ago and feel so much improved health. I want to come off BP meds asap.

[@vinrando62]

I'm so happy Dr. Berry. Today is day 394 on my journey to recover the vessel that is my body that God gave me, and the Standard American Diet that took it away. I'm so happy to know the 7 things that you mentioned in this video that will destroy gods gift hasn't entered me in that amount of time ! You have reassured me I'm on the right path. Big hugs Dr. Berry to you and your family for guiding me back to true happiness.

Since going keto about 4 months ago, I've dropped Amlodipine completely and cut my Lisinopril in half. I hope to drop Lisinopril completely soon. I hope my Dr. approves lol.

[@princessgreene398]

I was on lisinopril and got depressed. be careful with it.

If your doc doesn't completely approve, it's time for a new one! I once was seen by my docs nurse practitioner way back before keto, that said that the bp meds I was taking are for life because you CAN'T go off of those! LAST TIME I EVER SAW HER!!! Some people are very avid about it even when they are wrong!

I will say our fasting is growing great here at home with my teenage boys since they dont wake up until after noonish. Helps me stay on track and they're not eating 3 meals plus snacking all day.

Starting watching this as I'm eating 3 slices of baked bacon and then pulled pork BBQ on top of the leftover grease on the plate. Keto/carnivore is wonderful! I wish more people would listen to you Dr. Berry.

[@davegibbs6423]

He would say avoid BBQ sauce as protein-sugar mix will cause probs. If no sauce BBQ pork. 👍🏻

[@rockingredpoppy9119]

But how are your kidneys and liver?

[@billd3356]

@@rockingredpoppy9119 Absolutely fine. No kidney disease and no fatty liver. In fact, I reversed fatty liver from eating this way. My doctor is very pleased with my triglycerides which are in double digits after hitting 255. My a1c is down to 4.9 and I've lost 50 pounds since I started eating like this. Intermittent fasting helps tremendously.

excited to start this today. .Although no real symptoms my BP is really off the charts. Drs make no diet suggestions just pills. I now have good advice and will be following this protocol religiously. 304/178/64 was my last bp reading. cant wait to see results.

It took me about three months of strict keto and some help with magnesium to finally start seeing some good results with my bp. Before that, I could not get it to budge at all, no matter what I did. I’m a believer!

Most people are low in magnesium. Relaxes the blood vessels.

I did not eliminate anything but I just simply cut down on the amounts that I eat. I reversed my prediabetes in 4 months just by simply cutting down a lot on sugar and white bread and pasta. As I done that I noticed my cholesterol and blood pressure levels dropped down to normal and I no longer take meds for them. And I no longer have gerd. I also lost 20 pounds by cutting down amounts. For one example when I order a burger I throw away the bottom half of the bun.

[@philschuler9674]

Great video Doctor, thanks. I have high blood presure. Its normal in the morning then steadly increases through the day then goes back to normal in the evening. I eat a high protein/veggie diet and am 5' 8" and 175 lbs. This high BP just started out of know where last June. Even with meds it still gets into the 160/95 range by around 4 or 5 in the afternoon. What could be causing this?

[@raykonga4924]

Talk to you doctor, that is too high.

[@4406bbldb]

How you doing now? I’ve lost 75 and plan on about 25 more but seriously stalled but that’s ok I’ll just continue to eat right make a adjustment when needed and may by my 75 th birthday in a few months I’ll bet 10 lbs closer.

[@4406bbldb]

Go to a dr. But how are you doing now? I’d get a calcium build up test or whatever it’s called. Vitamin k2 can open artery but theirs more to it.

Since going on a mostly meat, zero carb diet and feasting now on bacon, sugar free sausages, pork chops and rib eye steak, my blood pressure is in the excellent zone and best it's ever been my whole adult life (I'm in my 70's) also have lost 38 lbs and feel great.

[@babytubestar]

Great video Dr Berry! I have been following you for a while now and when you said pizza I had to laugh. I don't consider pizza a food anymore. I have been on a quest to lower my BP for a couple of years now. The medicine my doc has me on only lowers it some but not all the way to where he wants it. I recently found out I have PKD and learned that PKD can cause high BP. Do you have any suggestions on what might help? I tried carnivore for 30 days and went to the doc and it was 140/82. Thanks for all you do!

[@julesk764]

babytubestar So you recommend meat & veg ?

[@DN-gp9cf]

I went from 218 down to 189 over 8 months and it as really difficult, I am now back up to 204. My goal is 170, but I have to go so hard core keto, practically carnivore, to lose a pound, its tough.

[@ojgoudeau]

Thanks for your advice sir. I will put these rules into practice today and give a report thirty days from today on Mar 2 2022

[@PeteJosephs]

It's good to have what I already suspected confirmed by an expert. Thanks.

[@billybadass7718]

I’ve already been doing this for over 18 months, I lost 115 pounds and my BP still wants to creep up. I take 1/4 of the BP meds I did beforehand. I do suffer from chronic anxiety, so there’s that. BP can be anywhere from 130-80 to 150-90, within a short time period. Edit. And my cholesterol is pretty high

[@fondrees]

Someone needs to respond to this comment. Hello, Dr. Berry...are you listening.?

[@fondrees]

Were the BP meds working?

[@evakozo3593]

For the anxiety , look into magnesium supplements, try magnesium citrate etc, you might see it helps with your blood pressure

[@bfthompson416]

Try taking 1 teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar followed by a gulp of water in the AM and in the evening. It has helped my BP.

[@UsernamedJory]

Thanks ! None of my Dr.s or Nutritionist told me anything about this !

I've done Keto and Carnivore at different times in my life. I did a "study" using myself as the guinea pig. Let me tell you when I'm not eating all the crap my BP is low, my legs/feet don't cramp and swell, I feel amazing and I sleep like a baby! I go back to eating crap and I ache all over, I'm tired and irritable, and the bags under my eyes make me look like I'm 100!
