Potassium and Blood Pressure: 15 foods that fix it (and how to get off medication)

[@marktalbot4wd]

I’ve watched a lot of your videos, you’ve really helped me understand BP, how to lower it naturally, I exercise 1 hour a day, walking and HiiT, cleaned up my diet, relaxing breathing, and mine has come way down. There is a history of high BP in my family, while mine isn’t very high, it’s elevated, 130/83, I’m determined to beat without taking meds. Thank you!

[@keeptrying5962]

Same here.

[@ail2470]

I'm looking at my BP numbers that I took yesterday. I had a weird feeling, checked my BP, 147/83. I worked on my breathing, Dr. Story mentioned. It's called Heart Rate Variability breathing(HRV) that will activate Parasympathetic NS. I did that for 10min, checked my BP, down to 135/76. I continued the breathing technique for about 5-10 more minutes and I was delighted to say, it went down to 112/67, checked again 10 min, 108/71, and 30 min later, 111/61. I'll use that technique for the rest of my life. Spiritual teachers (which I first learned about HRV) know this, hence breathing is taught in every meditation. Best of Luck!

[@dbll27]

​@@nadineburson776Hi, take your bp meds@the same time every day & your potassium intake needs to be increased to 4700mg. Also have your doctor check your mineral levels, & keep doing what you doing ❤ Blessings

@@nadineburson776 Try fish oil (double strengh or tripple & make sure they are not rancid), fermanted black galic or kyolic galic, CQ10 , it might work for you, Be patient after 1 or 2 months you can tell the different in your blood pressure. Also take magnesium & postassium

[@sylviarogerson7662]

You know what fixed my blood pressure? Eating a very low carb diet. About 100 to 150 grams of carbs per day. Healthy carbs, of course!

[@sandrafrancis3631]

Tip..eat the banana with peanut butter, the fat will slow the sugar spike. Peanut butter also has potassium i like banana and peanut butter on crackers or toast. I eat a lot of potassium foods, but still have high blood pressure 😮!? Too much potassium is also dangerous!.

[@craiglowden5995]

As always valuable info. Maybe RFK can bring out more awareness on good whole foods

[@Gray-Today]

I'm trying out Potassium for hypertension right now. Today is the second day. I would LOVE to see positive results.

[@pattymcclannahan8094]

Doc , that's awesome. I find it just so difficult to get started in any meaningful conversation at the doctors office. That's a massive help Thanks again . Happy Xmas and happy New Year

[@M_vintage-f5b]

My view on natural help controlling high blood pressure. I believe it's good to try if yr pressure isn't very high. Tho never worked for me.Not worth risking getting a stroke one of the worst things ever. My advice if yr pressure isn't too high give it a try if not get medical treatment immediately.

[@Itsme-e5j]

Thank you. L citruline is also helpful.

[@AdamJStoryDC]

Yes it is!

[@timledbetter1781]

I already did this. In my blood panel, my potassium is almost high, but still normal, and sodium is slightly below normal. I still can't get off my blood pressure medication. I recently had to change, because I was having serious side effects, maybe allergic reaction, but it was only 5 mg of Amlopidine BESYLATE 5 mg, now, I'm on Lisinopril, and it retains potassium, but, still, I have to be very attenttive to managing my blood pressure

[@oneofgodschildren]

Be careful Lisinopril causes dementia 😢get off it immediately

[@silviacarling]

Do Beet root gummies work ?

[@daysoftheboo]

Do you have any videos that talk about the long-term consequences of taking high blood pressure medication for too long??

[@patricksweeney6334]

One comment on the kidney stones... I got my first one in '91. Horrible experience. WTF is this? ER. Pain meds helped relax me to let it pass. #2 in '92. Oh, I know what this is. Gimme some pain meds to let this pass. While dealing with that second one... A friend metioned something his father had discovered: Something about cranberries serves to break them down, minimize their size, whatever. Started taking cranberry tablets whenever I'd feel the kidney-ish "twinge" of another one starting to move. From #3 on, I've kept cranberry tablets in the house, and often pop one or two a day, just because. I've passed at least a couple dozen, maybe thirty, in the ensuing 30-ish years, without issue, and often without even noticing until I hear a "tink" hit the porcelain.

[@electronictrip]

how many 99mg potassium capsules should i take?

[@bj9zq]

How could garlic not be on the list? It's probably the #1 or 2 best to beat high blood pressure.
