Yes it is true, I had a heart attack 2 years ago. I'm completely recovered, and I think most of it was due to CoQ10 and other supplements, but also because of a change in my diet, getting rid of sugar and doing a ketogenic diet.
That's awesome 👏
Yes sugar is the main problem
This is more information than I have ever received from my physician. I've been on blood pressure medicine with not much luck and my dr. telling me to double my dose and take a water pill, which also did no good. After 7 months of this I was very frustrated at the lack of results. Saw this video and figured it couldn't hurt to try. I've been following these 5 steps and my blood pressure has gone from 168/95 to 148/80 in one month. Thanks!
Laurie Horton
Hi Laurie, Your blood pressure is ok now to following Doctor Axe? Thanks
Laurie Horton
did you stop your medication? And you continuous to 5 steps of Dr.Axe? Thanks
I do still take my blood pressure medication along with the supplements recommended in this video.
Ok thanks
+lgbtTV5 spoken like a true big pharma associate
It really works! My BP is 110/70 now. Thank God, I found your channel. You, Dr Bergman and Dr Berg are 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Without med?
Do you take all the supplements he mentioned? Please let me know. I’m out of my meds but started the diet a week ago but idk if I should buy all these supplements? I was thinking fish oil for sure and I’m good with eating my potassium. Should I get the magnesium and coenzyme10 as well with the fish oil supplements?
@@ashleypauley4582 I believe ubiquinol is better than CoQ10.
This diet actually works because I stopped taking prescription medication due to the side effects of heart palpitations and ate these type of foods and I lowered by BP to normal levels.
Bananas, Fish oil 1000 mg, Magnesium 500mg, Coenzyme Q10 300mg. I'll start that. Up to now my treatment plan was L-Arginine 4000mg + Brazil nuts and Salmon, nothing sugary and no coffee
beet root and beet tops are crazy high in potassium , i do keto and my blood pressure is now one time was 96/66 usually around 110/60s
GOD BLESS YOU DOCTOR
AND YOUR FAMILY.
You are literally saving lives with your advice. Thank you. This is helpful. I'm going to try This diet.
Started taking Potassium and Fish Oil Supplements, and thank GOD I am feeling much, much better!!! Thank you for the pivotal information, Dr. Axe.
Great tips! Surprised salt wasn't mentioned in the video. That turned out to be my #1 culprit. Avoid adding salt to too many foods and that usually helps. Also, cinnamon lowers your blood pressure very fast (just gotta be careful with it!) Went from 140 all the way down to 90. Drinking a lot of water and fasting is another way but that's not a permanent solution.
👿GiriGirl👿 salt wasnt for me. My diet was saltless yet i was 202 over 199 or so. It was magnesium deficiency
thank you for the info. we have since change our diet to a semi vegan, veggie diet and have used the vitamins mention in the above video and my husband's bp went from 156/98 to115/69. that only took three weeks and his Dr gave him four weeks to being it down. thx again for the info
Salmon is vital for your skin not to age. Smooth skin has saturated fat and protein in it.
Thank you Dr. Axe. A few years ago my blood pressure was so high, my descending thoracic Aorta began dissecting. I lost 75% of my blood internally that day. I had emergency open heart surgery where they replaced a portion of my Aorta with a grapht. The internal blood loss was causing blood clots in almost every vital organ. I somehow survived this ordeal but even with medication my blood pressure is still high.Thank you again so much for this information!
This happened to me to but I didn't realize it was blood pressure related. Thanks to you I'm going to work on getting my BP down. I take 2 BP pills but it remains extremely high. Can you advise on any thing that helped lower yours? Thank you!
YOU ARE AMAZING AND YOU HAVE HELPED SAVE MY LIFE! Thank you Dr Axe.
I felt alive before I started these meds 3 months ago. I will follow your suggestions, but I'm getting off these meds tomorrow! I appreciate all your videos. Thank you.
Fructose raises blood pressure! I am very aware f my blood pressure as whenever it raises too high I get headaches and fruit is deffo a trigger along with sodium, alcohol, fatty foods and sugar
High blood pressure is rightfully called the silent killer. Never realized this before. Thanks for the recommendations. I will definitely get the ebook.
Thank you Dr.Axe really it is true to see result on one day.God bless you.
Thank you Dr. Axe your videos are the most helpful all the RUclips that I have found.
My blood pressure rose after taking omega 3s.
My last doctors visit was back to normal.
Your Eat diet book saved my life!!!!!!!!!
Outstanding information... Thank you.
As a long distance thru-hiker, I need to bring with me the supplements mentioned in this video.
My hypertension is becoming less an issue as my conditioning increases.... My migraines hardly ever recur nowadays so if these 5 steps can keep me from needing to get off the trails on a monthly basis to get a prescription wrote and filled for the BP medication I've been taking... Then what a blessing this information is.
Best transparent information regarding health I've seen. great content. thank you
Watermelon is good too. Boosts no2 production, which the body uses to dialate the blood vessels naturally. Other food do this to. Thanks for the video.
Awesome, what kind of magnesium and what kind of potassium is recommended?
I take two 400 mg. magnesium tablets with one 1200 mg. calcium tab or cap every night at bedtime. I used to have foot and leg cramps, but no more. The magnesium is my lifeline now, along with calcium and other supplements.
What kind of magnesium ? There are so many kinds ?
Thanks a zillion for your amazing videos!!
1-dieta mediterranea
Pescado, salmon, fruits.
2-aceite dd pescado
1000 mg
3-magnesio
500 mg
4-potasio
Bananas
Coconut water
5-coenzime q10
300 mg
So what is the best fish oil/potassium/Mg/CoQ10 supplement to get??
More than half of the vitamins on the market your body doesn't even digest. Just passes it through.
So what would be the best recommendation for these...considering digestion, bio-availability, etc...?
Thanks
how wonderful, someone who can actually talk....
I asked my Cardiologist about taking CoQ10 and he told me it wouldn’t make a difference. Today I saw my primary care Dr and told her I had started taking magnesium. She said it would upset my stomach? All the holistic Dr,s say we should take these things. Are our medical Drs just trying to kill us? I have a 4.5 cm aortic aneurysm and trying so hard to improve my health. I’m monitored every six months with a CT scan. I’ve been on mostly sugar free, gluten free, with moderate meats with fruits and vegetables for about a month now, (at least an apple a day). mostly paleo and at the same time, I started the Fish oil, CoQ10, potassium, L-Carnitine, Stress B Complex, B-12, C, Ashwaganda, Lysine, magnesium and a few others. Last week, I quit the simvastatin for cholesterol I had been on about 20 years. I’ve also been on blood pressure meds about 20 years but afraid to quit that. I had to have my gall bladder removed in 2014. I almost never drink sodas and have a glass of water with lemon juice and then a cup of coffee first thing in the morning but otherwise drink green tea, or cinnamon tea or water the rest of the day. I also use coconut and MCT oils. Please advise if I’m on the right track. I would really appreciate your feedback!
Dr. Axe you have some really good videos and reading articles. I really appreciate you.
He didn't even say to "like and subscribe". So he really must be legit and not another sellout RUclipsr.
v10moped amen!
Can you tell me what type of Magnesium is best for blood pressure?
Very informative and educational Doc, thanks for the valuable health advice keep up the good job.
Thanks so much for this great info. My Dr. recently put me on high blood pressure meds and it has been debilitating so I must try an alternative approach. I noticed you didn't mention removing salt from your diet, wouldn't that be important as well? Thank so much!
Dr. Axe, You are the man, I have learned so many things from you . Please tell me what kind of Magnesium should we take as well as what kind of fish oil? I take Krill is that as good as fish?
Thanks for your support Steven Barry I would recommend my axe naturals brand for both: store.draxe.com/products/fish-oil and store.draxe.com/products/magnesium-complex
Steven Barry Thanks for the Video! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you researched - Sayerdsan Vein Flow Secret (do a google search)? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy after many years eradicated the frustrating blood pressure stress with it.
Steven Barry Great Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard about - Sayerdsan Vein Flow Secret (google it)? Ive heard some decent things about it and my old buddy Taylor at last Got rid of the uncontrollable blood pressure problem with it.
Steven Barry Lovely video content! Excuse me for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you ever tried - Sayerdsan Vein Flow Secret (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? Ive heard some decent things about it and my m8 finally kissed good bye to the annoying blood pressure issue with it.
Steven Barry Cheers for the Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you considered - Sayerdsan Vein Flow Secret (probably on Google)? Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate said ta ta to the annoying blood pressure issue with it.
Excellent. Makes total sense. Thanks
Thanks Dr.Axe I am suffering from high b.p.,and also I am diabetic.I hope you're advice will help me.
Dr Axe, There are different kinds of potassium ands different kinds of magnesium suppliments. Which type of these minerals would be best to use?
Hello and thank you for sharing for knowledge with us. Can you please talk about wheat grass, does this help high blood pressure or what are its benefits? Thank you
A couple of cloves of fresh garlic cut in peices and either chew part then swallow or just swallow like a pill and then go take a nap will bring it down in couple of hours. But I like your suggestions. Thanks
Garlic is great :-)
Empowering Medicine ✪ Herbalist yes it is great for cold and flu quick fix ....
Janet Newbill not true in my case, i tried all that. Dr axe remedy brougjt my pressure down in one day by 25 points
He the best I swear
A major problem with some of these dietary recommendations is SUGAR, however. Sugar raises blood pressure just as much as does bad sodium, & also too much sodium, in general.
Kefir if fermented on your own has more potassium then a banana & naturally stabilizes HBP..
So happy I found your channel!
Thank you for this great video!
So glad I found you.
Hi Doctor Axe,
Is there a way to reduce nervousness before giving a public speech. Am always anxious about it.
think you are the lucky one's..
Great video Doc. Will definitely work on this.
Vagus nerve and posture is one of the key things too, we get worse posture as getting older.
I have high blood pressure but I eat lots of fruit and veg I exercise I mean I live a pretty healthy lifestyle
Me too, idk why I have high blood pressure they made me all this tests and nothing is wrong
Same here. I was told it could be hereditary.
I had high bp last year and a clinic doctor & cardiologist told me that it was because i was drinking whole milk. Apparently🙄 adults arent suppose to drink whole milk or drink milk at all. Adults are suppose to drink like skim milk or soy milk. The calcium in milk not only aids in bone development but also the contraction of blood vessels. Since adults 18 and older are no longer growing theres “no need for whole milk” 🙄 So this could possibly be an issue idk im just throwing something out there from my experience.
We are humans we should not be consuming other mammals milk at all. I have seen a significant chance after I stopped drinking milk it's been 2 years now. We were drinking soy, but I switch to almond milk it's a little better for my son. He used to have stomach issues with whole milk after I stopped no problems.
are you overweight? and what do you define as exercise?
If possible keep uploading these video clips because We are seeing progress
You forgot to mention light cardio exercise and good sleeping habits.
What about black seed oil? Does it also help as well?
most important is your diet, if you drop offs the meats and start eating green vegies meaning more live food your b/p is going to go down really quick, drink Jamaica water without sugars though, avoid sodas
thanks doc
Hi! It would be really cool if you made a video of what you would eat on a typical day. Like what you would have for breakfast, lunch and what you can eat if you have cravings, etc. Great videos btw!!
I like your videos. So many presentations bait you with "miracles" or something and then try to sell you a product! Your videos give good information right away without all the hype usually associated. Thanks for great videos, and straight information. Blessings to you. What's the dope on pumpkin seed oil? I have atherosclerosis - what would be a good dose of pumpkin seed oil? Thanks again!
Andy Mueller yes thats why i trust him
Good combination of diet and supplements. Thanks.
mine used to be high but I got it down pretty easy. I lost weight by eating less, I already ate OK foods, and by that I mean whole foods and no processed foods, i iust ate less. I didn't go on a special diet. I got a running machine and did a light 5 minute jog once or twice a day, eventually I ran with more intensity. if you cant jog just walk but for a bit longer. my blood pressure went down pretty fast with the combination of diet and exercise. i wasn't even that overweight so I guess some of use are more at risk than others. i can only put it down due to a previous time in my life when i was very inactive and gained a bit of weignt. you've gotta get that blood moving aroumd the body. pills just change chemistry and diet isn't a permanent fix
I’ve been on coversyl plus 4mg for 10 days and my heart has been racing and pounding around 103. I hate Meds and I’m over them. My diastolic pressure is around 97-111 and systolic is average to high. I’m in my 30’s and high BP comes from my dad side. I’m 40lbs overweight and I know that’s the main culprit and I blame the 50lbs I gained on prednisone years ago. Will definitely try those supplements and ask mom to cook for me more often lol she’s Mediterranean.
I’ll update shortly if anyone wants to know if the supplements helped.
So I got all the supplements recommended and for the first time in a long time my bp today was 114/89. It’s not perfect but It’s way lower than it used to be. I kind of feel like the potassium played the biggest role. I also take garlic supplements and turmeric and oregano oil for antioxidants. I’m really grateful to have come across this video.
thanks doc.. clear messages for me..
Hi guys,
Water fasting can be very great to reduce high blood pressure.
Fasting actually puts you in keto meaning the body is burning fat for food. Keto brings down blood sugar,blood pressure and insulin levels in the blood. Fasting has the same effect as a keto diet.
How to do water fasting to lower blood pressure?
Do you have supplement brands recommendations or reliable places to purchase good quality supplements? Maybe even what to look for when you looking. Everyone claims to have the best.
Sarah Ellis that’s a great question! So many supplement companies to choose from. A lot are just junk anyway!
My blood pressure is pretty ok, but I want to lower it more. I'm at 135/78 My best results was juicing for a week. Trust me it was the best feeling I ever had. I dropped my pressure to 116/69. In just one week. That's when I believed that food is the true medicine.
So I have been vegan for 3 yrs, I can't take fish oil supplements. I know chia seeds also has omega 3s. But how much do I consume?
You can buy Omega3 supplements made from algee
Thanks Doctor you awesome video 👍👍👍
Being there's so much I like to do such as curb sugar craving and lower blood pressure do you think a muti vitamin would help?
Good advise thanks.
i love funtional medicine. thanks for the video
Hey-thanks Dr. Axe will go out and buy Magnessium. & Potassium. tablets Happy Holidays
I love your videos, books and Website Dr. Axe!! How much potassium do you recommend a person to take to lower blood pressure? Thank you! Lehua
Bananas are on number 950 for potassium. Maybe spinach is a better solution.
Great video doc! Just one question, what type of magnesium would you recommend? I personally take magnesium citrate
Hi
magnesium - l-aspatate has the best bio-availability
@@aqssufi9054 thx
If I supplement with magnesium will it create an imbalance of other vitamins or minerals
Can you please give information about how to lower specifically "Diastolic" blood pressure... my husband trying so hard regarding his diet, exercise n everything.. good thing is his systolic pressure got in control but we are still worried about the Diastolic.. it's a request, can you please reply and make a separate video abput this topic.. please..
thank you,, doc,,
Dr. Ace I'm allergic to some
fish and the smell, however, I can eat canned tuna (2 Top brands only) packed in water or oil for some strange reason. I've even broken out for using eye shadow with fish scales in it to give a glitter effect. The cosmetic industry should be required to indicate that boldly on packaging. Are there any substitutes for the fish oil?
Rock on dude
what about Hawthorne and Cayenne?
Never mentioned not adding salt to food.
So you would need to take all of those supplements daily?
Great video Josh.
Also exercise
gotta put these five steps in action right away... thanks Dc Axe, will check your web ou foshua...
Dr. Axe, my systolic levels are a little high (mean score of: 135-45), while my diastolic level are stabilized. I think this is called Isolated Systolic Hypertension (ISH). My doctor and I are monitoring it, but all of the meds she is prescribing to me, are not working. So have decided to stop talking the meds as they are not producing the desired results. I plan to inform my doctor in a few weeks. The only choice, I see, is the natural approach. Your thoughts.
Is it alright, for a person with high blood pressure, to have ginger and cinnamon.
Tweet this to my dad
treat hyper tension as a symptom and remove what is causing it in the first place. Alcohol, Caffeine, Eating junk foods like potato chips, smoking, lack of exercise, poor posture, snoring (use nasal strips), stress.
zorbatheok thanks
I don’t do any of those things and still have high blood pressure
Agreed
EXCELLENT!!!
Thank you!!
I am getting conflicting messages from different doctors. Some say cut out fructose sugars including fruits. Others are saying eat more fruits in your diet. How do you know which is best for you?
Polar Bear can I suggest eat more vegetables rather than fruits . Fruits like bananas are sweet and have a high content of fructose which is sugar . If one is trying to lose weight which is often ( not always) a factor in high BP , cholesterol and hypertension- it’s best to consume far more vegetables ( raw if possible in form of veg juice if possible) than fruits which are high in fructose and hence interfere with weight loss and glucose metabolism.
Neeta J Thank you very much, I will follow your advice. Much appreciated.
Fruits like bananas, apples, and oranges can help lower potassium. Fruits just like vegetables is important. Spinach, kale and other green leafy vegetables is good to. Google is where can get good information too. Omega 3 fish oil pills, frankincense, Ylang Ylang are ways you can lower your blood pressure. First thing doctors want to do is tell me to take baby aspirin because my BP is a little high, I decided to do my own research because I am pregnant and don't want to depend on medication like that.
Thank you for the info...
Can my aunt who is over 50 take fish oil 1000 mg with one multivitamin centrum and magnesium and co cu10 all together every day? Even if she is taking a low dose 25 mg blood pressure medication?
Hi Dr Josh.Can you say something about vitamin D supplements?Thanks for share knowledge.
Hydrochlorthiazide was Recently recalled and I just filled prescriptions my on 12/06/18. Plus I had all the side affects. Head aches, toggling in hands, blurred vision, weakness.
This was a great tip on lowering your bp, but it can't take fish oil, will coconut oil do ?
Should I take those supplements at the same time or same day? Or is that harmful?
How about exercice Dr.Axe?
Anyone can answer what type of magnesium? There are so many..citrate, malate, etc
