I lowered my High Blood Pressure as a OTR Truck Driver. As a foody, it can be hard 😎

[@gavnonadoroge3092]

3:15 you very brave to eat mexican food while on the road, but that probably explains the twenty pound drop

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

Lmao 🤣 hasn’t messed with my stomach yet 🙌🙌

[@jcdahippie]

Mine was high. I tried all kinds of things. No salt. Low salt. Exercise. More water. Different concoctions people said would work. I came across this one video that had to do with flushing your liver. One of the things was the use of electrolytes. I stopped drinking sugary drinks. Maybe a soda a week is all now. I started drinking (rhymes with atorlyte) zero. Take a baby aspirin once in a while, and my BP lowered significantly. I'm not saying it's a guarantee, but that's what works for me.

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

That’s one of the biggest causes is dehydration. I’ve been doing same with electrolytes and some Celtic salt for hydration 🙌

[@michaeldomec5275]

They said i cant get my 2 year back and i hvnt been on meds in years

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

Go to a different dr office and no, you haven’t had high BP and no I don’t take meds.

[@jasongoodwin6737]

1/2 cup and 1/2 cup of each mixed together?? My blood pressure is fine but I'm going to do this as preventave maintenance

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

Yes. 1 to 1 ratio. 1/2 cup to 1/2 cup or 1 oz to 1 oz. It’s still a great health benefit. I’ll do this for the rest of my life. The hawthorn is so healthy for the heart and the cayenne is so healthy for the gut and more importantly, the blood and the veins. It’s a win win.

[@Iamsmallfry]

Good for you, man. Getting my 2 year card back is also my goal at the end of this 15 mo. card. From November of 22 til now, I’ve lost 125lbs. 347 down to 222. Then it started creeping back up. I started the carnivore woe in March. Also, last summer I started walking 10-20l steps. Then in February of this year, I started trying to run. Now I’m 51 and obsessed with running. Since my first run in feb, I’ve run 76 5ks, 8 10ks, and 371 miles, not counting my walking, working by loading my own trailers. I spent more on damn shoes now than I do on food🤣.

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

Damn it bro 🙌🙌🙌 that’s what I’m talking about! Shear dedication right there!! You definitely want it and give no excuses. Respect!!

[@Iamsmallfry]

Hi I got a question, about 2 yrs ago you were with triumph for factoring. I am getting ready to get a factoring company and notice otr works with dat load board. Do you still think triumph is better..thank you, chris

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

Yes absolutely. I’m still partners and factor all my stuff beside trade show stuff. That’s usually cod so no need to factor. Makecentsquickpay.com call that number and talk to Ashley. Tell her you want that Makecents rate 👊

[@ChrisSullivan-c6v]

Thank you so much, be safe out there.

[@raymondbradley6788]

Thanks, Sammy that’s awesome👍👍👍

[@AlaskaTrucker907]

Thanks for the knowledge.

[@kyvirlogistics4993]

Good stuff… It’s harder to stay healthy on the road. Keep it up!

[@Jack-pd4ps]

The key to staying healthy on the road is to drive less, slower, walking and eating healthier. 14/11 clock doesn’t mean you have to use all of it. Save some of your energy for exercise. Take breaks and walk/exercise while at the shipper/reciver. When I was driving regional, I didn’t Work over 12 hours. Driving slower means you’ll have less people in front of you and is less stressful. Walk at least 6 miles a day. Park in truck stops near neighborhoods. Humans have been walking since its beginnings and is what we were designed to do. Eat healthy and don’t snack while driving. Trucking can be unhealthy because many Drivers prioritize earning money over maintaining health until it’s too late. The Human Body is not designed to sit in a truck all day. That’s why it “Degrades” so quickly in Truck Driving. If you have stress problems like myself, it’s important to find a CDL job that allows you time to take care of yourself. I personally don’t like job that requires 12+ hours of work especially at night. The Body is not designed to work overnight.

[@joepena3081]

Barbara O’Neill is the best I’ve seen all her lectures I bought the Hawthorne berry tea n drink water with cayenne pepper daily along with Celtic salt which is the fastest way to hydrate because of the 3 magnesiums. I’m a trucker too and u just shared some awesome wisdom thx bro 😊

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

Yesir. I do the Celtic salt too. Figured I’d share that in some future videos. I have a small Tupperware for the Celtic 🙌🙌

Beet juice cut down the sodium intake and walk around the truck a few times after your shift!

SUPER SUCCESSFUL TRUCKIN

[@georgeibarra5745]

I’m on it sir thanks for the advice

[@erickpacheco1623]

I'm sure there's driver that know what I'm about to say, after so long driving O.T.R you have to prepare yourself for a medical D.O.T..purging your body 2 days prior, taking your own blood pressure..I got the better calibrated machine,payed more money and I also check at C.V.S ..NO CAFFEINE, no nicotine 12-24 hrs before/ no fast food,soda as long before as you can.fasting works miracles but hard to do the first time..best time to go is as soon as they open,be the first one..I get up at 5-6am take shower eat potassium supplements ,Garlic days before every few hrs..IT WORKS !dam near feels like your on a sedative....to much potassium is extremely dangerous so I'm checking blood pressure every few hrs...it's a major process but worth not dealing with Doctors and a 3-6 month card....also never do D.O.T at any terminal or go to their doctors..I stay clear from companies that try and make you do everything in house..Not their business how you get your 2 years or what's going on with your health as long as your taking care of it...

Hate to hear that brother! But even still, get you some cayenne and hawthorn berry 🙌🙌

[@kenburkard]

[@marioa.rodriguez9098]

I’ll for sure try this brother! Mine has creeped up to 141/90ish. Just a year ago I was fine, I was in mid 130s/80s. I need to lower it. I just ordered what you recommended and I should receive it Saturday. Thanks for the info.

Doing great 😎

I’ll definitely try it…I like driving OTR but I don’t like how it affects my health. I knew a guy from Sri Lanka that cooked good Cow Tongue. Living in FL you can eat all types of Latin foods…& drinks 😎

Bro I’m a Ga boy but I love Fl. Especially S. Fl. I love all the cultures and foods 🙌

[@05trucker55]

Great video Sammy can you make a video on how you see dry van freight

[@Hazardouswastedriver]

Great video!! I’m going to try this, I’ve been driving 20 years and my last 2 medical cards have been borderline as far as the 2 year goes

[@tsimmons1974ts]

Thanks for dropping them Jewels Bud...

[@tommygibs1381]

I put cayenne pepper on everything but eggs. Being from Louisiana it comes naturally

[@robertmarsh488]

Appreciate the info on the Cayenne pepper and Hawthorne as my wife has hypertension when she goes to a doctor to get her DOT physical as she drives a school bus and so they only give her DOT physical one year which I think this will be a big help to her, Thank you.

[@redraiderreloading7612]

Im on amlodpine and simistatin. Ive been on a 1 year medical card for 8 plus years

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

Try this and let me know how it goes. I’m curious. Give it a month or two and give us some feedback 👊

[@timmay2k]

I take super beets and ag1. Still have my 2 years been otr for 7 years now local water tanker and going to fuel hauling next week.

Beef tongue, aka Lengua, is the best.

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

It was really good!!! Yum!

[@XLoad3d]

I got a costco membership awhile back and they always have good deals on the supplements and they have the Kirkland brand. I started taking fish oil (omega-3's), multivitamin, and drink powdered collagen daily. Bare minimum bro I'd say fish oil pills are a absolute requirement for everyone health.

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

Yeah Kirkland brands are great. Love my Costco 🙌

[@penarri]

it might be better on you if you try mixing it with tea.. itll also dissolve better being hot

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

Did mix with coffee at first until my brother shared he did water. Tried that and liked it better

[@RB-cz5jn]

Brother if your ever through this way and need help. You have a drive way and a set of tools.

🙌👊 thanks bro. I may need to take you up on has one day

[@B1GBR023]

Tacos de lengua 😋

[@TheTruckersTable]

I’m going to look into this because I have AFib issues. I’ve never not got a 2 year card, but I shop around for the right doctor. Memorize eye charts, take a couple beta blockers a few hours before exam and do whatever I have to so I can get that dam Federal government regulated BS medical card.

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

Watch the video I posted in comments. She’s a gem bro.

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

Wait. Description, not comments

[@lonestar3992]

IL only get a one year card for the rest of my life. Triple bypass and the meds I'll be on. I'm cool with that
