How to reverse blood pressure naturally? | Dr Pal

hello guys this is Dr parliament manika in this video we're going to talk about what is high blood pressure how do you find out whether you have high blood pressure what is the easy treatment for it and what can be done to prevent the complications let's dive deep into it [Music] so what is high blood pressure high blood pressure means there is thickened and stiff blood vessels which is supplying your heart brains and kidneys if there is blood supply to these organs or compromised because of the thick blood vessels the organ gets damage leading to heart disease stroke and also kidney failure so we need to find it early to prevent these complications because you will never know that blood pressure is going on until any kind of complication happens I had a patient who never had any problems with blood pressure at all all of a sudden comes with a stroke like symptom with a blood pressure of 180 which means it was not monitored or caught early and hence it is very important to check blood pressure for everybody who's over 18 years of age at least once every two to five years so if you are a 40 year old you need to check your blood pressure at least once every two years and make sure that the number is below 120 over 80. the top number is called systolic blood pressure the bottom number is called diastolic blood pressure more than 120 in the numerator and more than 80 in the denominator suggests that you have some kind of elevator blood pressure it is classified as normal mildly elevated stage one and stage two based on the numbers so let's say you are completely healthy you don't have any medical problems you walk into a pharmacy store check your blood pressure and your blood pressure is high to 140 and you keep checking two or three days and it is continuously high that should be a wake-up call for you that there is something going on in your body suggesting that there is an ongoing inflammation and people think that salt is the main reason for elevated blood pressure stress is the main reason for elevated blood pressure though all these factors contribute to it the main reason is actually insulin resistance the hormone insulin that we worship in the channel is not working for you it doesn't mean that you're not producing insulin the insulin that you're producing is not working that is called insulin resistance and let me explain how that happens so insulin is a hormone secreted by your pancreas whenever you have glucose inside your body which is food when you eat carbohydrates which is included in rice and multiple other sources insulin is secreted to digest the carbohydrates but the problem is we eat more than what we need and also we eat at multiple times throughout the day mainly at night where the insulin is sleeping so basically we are targeting insulin at two different angles one we are eating more than what we should number two we are eating at the time that we are not supposed to like late night where insulin is actually sleeping to take some rest so for the first 10 years for example from 20 to 30 years of age you will not feel any damage at all because insulin is trying to cope up with it but after 30 years of age you will start to notice slowly the insulin fatigue which means that insulin will not do the work you will eat carb insulin will be secreted but it will not digest the car this is called insulin resistance your body is filled with insulin but good for nothing so what happens to all the sugar that we are eating like the carbohydrates it doesn't have any hormone to digest so the sugar gets converted into fat and it gets deposited in the blood vessels and that is the starting main reason for high blood pressure even in my family when people think that they have high blood pressure the first thing they are shopping is the pickle actually what they should stop is the second round of rice that they are putting on the table let's say that your blood pressure is elevated more than 120 in the numerator more than 80 in the denominator consistently on three different occasions you do meet the criteria for hypertension ideally you don't need any significant medication to decrease the blood pressure provided you make changes in your diet and lifestyle and the key factor in diet and lifestyle is to preserve the insulin quality we talked about the two different angles insulin is getting damaged one is over calories two is eating late at night where insulin is sleeping we could control both with fasting so now we know that insulin resistance means we do have insulin but the insulin is not working because it is very tired so we need to give rest to insulin for that we need to cut the amount of food that we are taking in which will in turn decrease the effort put by the insulin to digest this food which means that insulin has time to recover so for this to happen any kind of fasting is okay for the first step to happen all insulin needs is 12 hours of rest and you could pick a time that works for you you could start from 8 AM to 8 PM 9 am to 9 pm 10 a.m to 10 pm it doesn't matter as long as it has 12 hours of rest when you're following the first angle if you can follow the sleep wake cycle of insulin by eating in the morning when insulin Rises and completing your dinner when insulin upside down the outcome is even better 7 AM to 7 PM would be be the best case scenario if you want to get the maximum outcome of insulin this is the first handle the second angle to this is low carbohydrates remember insulin digest glucose so when glucose is not there there is no work for insulin which means there is more recovery time for insulin again remember the problem is not that we don't have insulin problem is we don't have good quality insulin even in diabetes when they are giving artificial insulin doesn't mean that you don't have insulin because we have poor quality insulin we need more insulin to do the work which means our insulin levels are super high but it is just resistant so when we are decreasing the carbohydrate content the workload on insulin goes down which means that the recovery is faster and it will be able to digest the carbohydrates more so the sugar to Fat conversion is stopped right there and the third angle how you can decrease the work period or insulin is not to eat anything processed if you eat natural whole whole grain fruits and vegetables and you don't eat anything in a package or in a bottle your insulin will love you because anything that is processed or packaged usually contains added sugars again sugar is the reason to trigger insulin when we are avoiding packaged Foods processed foods and if you're eating whole grains fruits and vegetables your insulin would absolutely love you the insulin resistance will decrease it will start to work again it will digest the carbohydrates so the carbohydrates to Fat conversion is decreased which will in turn decrease your blood pressure which will in turn decrease your heart disease risk of course all the other additional steps like you know meditation decreasing your cortisol levels of course decreasing salt is going to help decreasing your stress level is going to help but let's be honest we really don't have that much amount of time in this busy world if you want to focus your limited time in a particular area I will really focus on decreasing the workload or insulin increasing the quality by following these three steps number one fasting with a minimum of 12 hours as we discussed before you can maximize to 16 hours number two decrease your carbohydrates intake just decrease the second portion of whatever carbohydrate that you are eating take this as a chairman and see what happens to your blood pressure and number three avoid anything process anything packaged try to be as natural as possible eat whole grains raw fruits vegetables if you or any of your family members have been diagnosed with high blood pressure please consider this as a two-week Challenge and then see whether you can do these three steps you can check your blood pressure before starting off the challenge and you can do this two week challenge and measure the blood pressure after I guarantee you that you are going to see decreased blood pressure readings and if you keep doing this on a long term basis you might be able to come out of medications altogether I'm seeing young people with high stress levels high blood pressure leading to stroke to a point that they cannot even move their arms and legs it is very sad and my heart goes out to their family it is a problem of not understanding that wake-up call and hence I urge everybody about 18 years of age to check your blood pressure at least once every two years remember the number 120 over 80 I will put that in the description and if your blood pressure is more than that please take this as a 14 day challenge of those three angles that I said and you will see the results by yourself and write down in the comment section remember one belly at a time it is absolutely important I'll see in the next video bye foreign
