It worked. My blood pressure was 161/95. I did the breathing exercises and my bp dropped to 130/88. I did them again for a few more minutes and my bp was 123/85. Thank you.
@@elmirbrdar1045 .....a few seconds. This is a joke. I hav been teaching breathing for 30 years and this is nothing short of a joke. I encourage my students to do minimun 20 minutes every day of specific disciplined exercises. I tell them that thery may start to noticE some real differences after four years and even then I would never guarantee any change in anything, just that overall there will be tremendous benefits, but who is to say what those benefits will be exactly. I have taught several thousand people, few continue to practice every day.
Dr. Story, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure 3 weeks ago, I’ve been watching your videos which have been helpful for my anxiety. My new doctor said he does a lot of deep breathing several times a day. The nurse took my BP and it was 151/78, at the end of my appointment my doctor took a reading encouraging me to do the deep breathing and it was 138/78. He was very pleased and so was I! I will continue to watch your videos which have been so helpful and beneficial ! Thank you, you helped get me through a rough three weeks!
I developed this issue a few years ago. The anxiety is not just at the doctor's office...its whenever I have to take it...even at home. I took my pressure early this morning. Anxiety high... 133/100. I waited about 30 minutes and then completed your breathing technique and it went down to 107/79. I can honestly say... for the past 3 years...my doctor have overprescribed my BP medication. Not only does my anxiety rise when I am at the doctor...so does my anger. I no longer trust my doctor (Kaiser) .
@sherriawilliams 8617 Trust Almighty God instead and have faith in yourself .There is no cure for blood pressure in allopathic medicines. Continuous use of these medicines will have harmful side effects on your body. Change your lifestyle. Live disciplined life, take diet which is absolutely natural. Use Himalayan pink salt instead of man made table salt. Eat healthy food such as fresh fruits and vegetables including good sources of protein as well. Proper sleep and rest are very much essential. Physical exercise, yoga,meditation etc will help you to come out from this problem. Stress, worry, tension and fear of any kind should be kept away from the mind. Don't think much about any kind of diseases. May Almighty God bless you always with good health, happiness and long peaceful life. .
I go threw the same exact thing the medications are horrible my blood pressure be like 145 just trying to learn new things to where I don't have to take them nasty-ass medication
I also have white coat syndrome at dr's & home so no matter, i either will not take it, or freak out when I do. I know I have ptsd-c, but this is getting outta hand. I do have high BP.
@@SilviaB8989I'd give anything to have that reading, & so would my Dr. I'm older, so I don't need a low, low 30-something reading, but not what I'm getting, either. Ugh! This is so binding.
I have struggled trying to get my blood pressure under 140. I was facing losing my DOT license even with double dose blood pressure pills. Tried this and after third try got a 115 top number. I have started excersize and correct diet, but need that license now. Thank you Doctor. You are a life saver.
I drive also and was really worried too with 140s/90s bp reads on my own monitor . Then I watched correct way to do blood pressure position with arm elevated to heart level like they do in doctors office and it came down to 120s
This video makes so much sense. Do you know when you get upset, you can pace around, punch objects, but forget about just breathing. Great video. I'm subscribing
Yes the breathing does work, I've had HBP for over 15 years. I do this several times a day. Quit smoking, smoking killed my mother at 58. Cut back on alcohol. Eat good food, move around every 20 minutes if you are working from home. Get a walk in, ride a bike, do anything except sit for hours on end. Be good to your body! Stay well people!
You are on the right path! Quit smoking goes without saying. Eat "REAL" food. ELIMINATE alcohol. And if you're carrying extra weight, get rid of it NOW! Keto diet has worked for many. Just KEEP MOVING! ! ! !
Thanks for the recommendation of the arm blood pressure monitor!!! Thanks for showing the 5 min deep breathing technique! I sort of do that already, just not for 5 min. New subscriber.
Here is the deal: I watched your video with GREAT SKEPTICISM. This morning I went to donate blood. They got my blood pressure that was 166 over 110. They didn’t want to take my blood! So I told them give me 5 minutes of time to meditate and do the test again. They came back 3.5 minutes later and ran the test, as I was following your breathing technique. The new reading was 136 over 95!!! I’m amazed and THANKS for great video.
@@thecatvirusgotme889 You are correct. I have an appointment today before noon with my doc. The problem is years ago I took bp meds and everyone of them ruin your daily activities from seating by the bathroom room door for constant urinating to having foggy brain…
@@alexv259 Alex.. agreed. But there are newer meds with hopefully less side effects. And a reduction in high blood pressure has been shown to have a direct correction with a reduction in heart attacks. Best of luck buddy!
Anxiety or White coat syndrome as some call it can be the problem. Just an a general anxiety disorder can cause it to rise in doctors office. The blood pressure meds are worthless as some have stated and the side effects are crazy. Monitor it at home when your relaxed, alone and calm, vs in the office or when your stressed. Doctors are way too stupid and busy to figure it out and you get to sample like 10 meds to find they won't work. Breathing and mindfulness are fine and dandy but a trip to Mexico or street doctor can lower your blood pressure for real and treat your anxiety which American doctors will not treat nor know how to treat.
I was late for my diabetic appointment and she took a blood pressure test on me and it was high. I told her it's probably because I was stressing on my way here, this videos proved my thought right!
Here's the answer to the question you're asking: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tQRIqRxiODI.html In short...69 and 77 are considered "normal" just as the ages 7 or 9 are considered "children." It really doesn't matter. Observe the systolic number. The entire blood pressure normalized. Watch the video on the most common questions.
@@AdamJStoryDC do certain psychological aspects adds up in hypertension? I mean what if someone grows this mentally that if he is going to check his blood pressure, then it will obviously be high although his blood pressure remains normal o not checked?
I saw your clip on youtube try it and within 5-6 minutes of doing your deep breathing my blood pressure dropped from 162/72 to 135/65 I still can't believe it ,thank you Dr Story
This is really working! I measured my BP this morning about 30 minutes after I woke up and it was 149/81. I decided to test your method and it was 128/71. Not only did it lower my BP significantly, but it relaxed me so much that I wanted to fall asleep again, but was rudely interrupted by the timer I set! Thank you very much. This really added value to my life.
Thanks for this. It has come at just the right time as I have an appointment with the gp nurse this morning to have my BP taken & recorded as it was 169/98 last week & they didn’t like that. I will do the special breathing in the waiting room & see if it helps. Also thanks for the advice on bananas…..I didn’t know that.
It Worked ! I did the breathing exercises while waiting for the Nurse & when she took it 10 mins later it was 124/86 ! It’s never been so low. THANK YOU .
@@minkgin3370 Wow! I just came across your comments! My blood pressure was about that high, 169/90 my last trip to my dentist. I will check tomorrow morning, document the result and then after the breathing technique to see the difference.
When did Heaven release this doctor? Finally, a doctor who will not tell to "take a pill and call him in the morning". I love this doctor! Greetings from the Dutch Caribbean.
I never go to Drs. because of that. But I had to go yesterday for insurance. I told him I was not going to take any pills and not to bother giving me any.... he then told me he already called one in. I said too bad I am not taking it. Again, no drs, for me. I worked for them... they had a saying...keep them manageably ill... not too sick so we don't die (they would lose our business) and not so well we get cured and won't come back..... Ingenious really... :)
You're 100% correct, most doctors don't care about the individual, they see us as money. I've started lowering my high blood pressure naturally. No doctor will talk to you about natural ways to lowering Hbp.😤
@@rosewood513 Damn is that really true that they say that. I believe you cuz I just went to the doctors a few days ago and she told me I had extreme high blood pressure and she prescribed me two bottles of pills. And I also told her I had a ringing in my ear that it hasn't went away she told me it was due to the high blood pressure and she didn't even check my ears or nothing. But when I got home and I measure my blood pressure it is a little high but it wasn't like she said it was like 138/90 that's pretty sad that they do that cuz she got me all paranoid. SMH
@@michellereyes2628 are you a sales person for this company? And what are the exercises? Humming, yoga, etc? Why can't he just say what they are so that we know it's legitimate? I can do research too and find out, why should I trust this person at $49? Thank you.
Keep doing 10 deep breath hold it for a second and then release it. Do this several times a day if you're outside it's excellent to get deep breath in.
Thank you Dr. Story. I was 141/88 after climbing upstairs. After 5 min of deep breathing I was 103/74. Fantastic!!!! I will do this several times a day from now on for a lifetime of low blood pressure. Thanks again for the wonderful video. PJ
You see how simple that can be and no medication involved. If you have no serious medical condition this is just pressure build in our heads from the stress situation. THANK YOU DR. J. STORY
THIS WORKS!! I was near panic attack k, set my timer for. 5 min and said Hail Mary’s (helps me meditate) while breathing this way and BP before was 156/96 went to 124/80 AND it calmed my anxiety down and probably saved me two hours of stress ! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much. I am 40 years old and 17 weeks pregnant and was told my blood pressure was on the high side. The problem is that I have anxiety disorder which I dont take medicine for and I have serious white coat syndrome, stems from five years ago when we had a sick child in the hospital who eventually passed away. I am just a nervous nelly now at the doc. I tried this and used my home BP monitor. My pressure went from 138/92 to 127/80.
SpoiledCurlyGurl wow that’s great Im 6 weeks And 42 I’m afraid to go to my first appt. and be told my blood pressure is up.. I’m also starting to use eft tapping again for my anxiety
This doctor is a medical angel! As an asthmatic and a shallow breather I am 'supposed' to breathe deeply whenever I can but forget. This has been a strong reminder to help both my asthma and my high blood-pressure. Thank you doctor!
Thank you! Today was the first time my BP was high 146/84 and after watching this, I did the deep breathing method and it brought my BP down to 107/62.
In the last few days of my sister in law's life.she breathed even raising her shoulders as she lay on her death bed..I watched in amazement how she wanted to stay with us. I have subscribed to your channel sir,to hear you giving quantity of life breathing..... thankyou sir.
This is not only a lowering blood pressure exercise, it also helps you to have better sleep. I tried this method last night, just after getting into my bed, I did 5-6 minutes of breathing and exhaling and I slept quickly, but the best of all was that I did not wake up at all until 5.30am (my normal wake up time) then I did the exercise again and slept for 1 more hour. This is the first time I slept through the night with out waking up in the middle of the night in many years, and felling relaxed and more energetic than before..... Thank for this simple but life changing advise....
Learned this same breathing technique 5 years ago for sleep/ anxiety.. Go figure it helps HBP for my elderly mother & me now. This is the good side of the internet🙏🏽
@@suhanaani8080 as a professional diver I practice breathing techniques - I can do one breath per minute, 30 seconds inhalation and 30 seconds exhalation. If flying to work I do breathing and isometric exercises, even before the meal arrives I’m sound asleep 💤
I was just rejected for the 7th time because of extremely high BP. I was rejected from having elective minor surgery for which I needed to be sedated for a few minutes. But I could never manage to get my BP under 200 and of course my doc wouldn't perform any sedation on me or any surgery, with that high BP reading. I wish I'd known this technique. I did do some deep breathing beforehand every time, but it never helped, my BP just kept climbing every time they repeated it. I did just discover a video about lowering BP by taking a daily detox drink containing garlic, ACV and extra virgin olive oil. I've seen my BP go from pver 200 to 115, and I'm hoping that the next time I go for surgery, if my BP is still high initially, I will try this technique and fingers crossed, it will work. I need this surgery so badly, as I am crippled from sciatic pain and can't walk without aid for more than 20 feet. I am starting a new job at months end and need to be able to walk normally! So it's very important to me that I get my BP PERMANENTLY down!! Thanks and I'll let you know what happens!
I pray while i run. Prayer gets me out of myself and thinking of helping others. My BP? Used to be 150/100, now its about 125/65, HR 55. Of course it's more the running, but prayer helps me to run.
You're my new buddy. I hava MAJOR bp phobia and in a doctor's office my bp can easily shoot to 170 or 180/100. He stuck me on the lowest dose of an ARB. I was convinced it was almost all mental. Your soothing video, complete with no-nonsense instructions ("Just breathe, man!") is something I play now every morning. Average bp in the morning: 114/73. Keep up the good work. Someone out here is benefitting.
To ensure it stays low, start eating and drinking correctly. DO NOT eat sodium (salt) DO NOT eat chocolate (contains salt) DO NOT eat excessive amounts of red meat. DO NOT drink excessive amounts of alcohol. DO drink the same volume of water for each glass of alcohol consumed. DO eat plenty of green vegetables.....
Thumbs up ! At last something 'for free of charge' from USA you don't have to pay.!!!!. Dr. J.Story did not charge not even one dollar( 1$) for his presentation and advise. Amazing.
@@joeamesquita6131 I bet he does have one ,but it was also something else regarding charging people for anything rather helping them .. including an advice.Greetings.
I work third shift and it always raises my blood pressure. I take breaks and do deep breathing exercises. The first time brought my pressure from 155/95 to 117/86. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
How long does low blood pressure last after 5 minutes of breathing. ?Won't it return to a high state when I take a dozen or so steps? Did you test it ?
@@Tadek5 I can do the breathing for 5 mins then my BP pressure drops but the minute I get up and move, my blood pressure goes back up. But then blood pressure pills do the same. I once took 200mg of potassium and 500 mg of magnesium citrate together because I heard they both lowered BP and my blood pressure did drop from 161/80 to 109/67 and stayed like that for two hours moving about.. I told my doctor I didnt need the meds anymore and why. My doctor said never do that again. Reason being, not knowing your potassium levels before ingesting more, could give you a heart attack by potassium overdose. I wonder if that is accurate information.
@@captainpearly3994 I found such information reg potasium : What is the recommended daily amount of potassium? Image result for potassium overdose symptoms infants: 400-700 mg/day; children up to 9 years of age: 2400 - 3700 mg / day; adolescents up to 18 years of age: 4100-4700 mg / day; adults: 4700 mg/day. Seems to be your 200 mg is not much at all.
@@captainpearly3994 Your doctor do not want you to take your health in your hands. The doctor will treat you forever, but will never cure you. Doctors prescribe remedies for the effects of the disease instead of treating the disease.
Great information. One thing to note, the breathing technique is so you can get a correct reading. I don't think it changes your health. A lot of people are on blood pressure medication shouldn't be. The doctor is saying relax so we can see if your low number is too high. Anything will raise your pressure. A better means of determining high blood pressure is needed.
I used to do this when I was going to yoga, I use this technique when I have trouble sleeping, works great for me, I will now use it to help with my bp , I’m a 67 year old guy, in my later years I find I’m keeping a open mind to try different things. Thanks James
OMG Just tried it from 127/80 to 119/66 Got a panic disorder last December and this panic is really affecting my breathing sometimes and I'm getting paranoid with my BP whenever it goes up to 140 and above I'm starting to panic. Thanks so much from Philippines with love!!!
I took my own blood pressure last week and it was high. I have been exercising and eating well since. But my pressure was still high. I breathed deeply for 5 minutes and by pressure is in the normal range. I think I have just spent a week stressing about it. I need to chill out and keep healthy. Thank you
Works ,went In for a D.OT physical , I've been getting 1 year certifications for the last 2 years because of a elevated reading first time they checked 141/90 .put me in a room to relax did the breathing 10 minutes later 119/71.. Got my regular 2 year certification back. Thanks Doc !!
Dr.Story, it worked for me as just 5 mins before when I checked my parameter it was 145/110 and post five mins of deep breathing it is 121/85 ... Thanks for your valuable inputs
Before ever seeing this video, I have done this several times and it definitely works. When using one of those public BP machines, I have done exactly as the Doctor describes and in less than one minute, the reading is in a much better range. As he experienced, I tried to tell someone who takes meds for high BP, but they would not even consider the thought of eliminating their MEDS! When so many people have that mentality, the pharmaceutical companies are assured to continue to make BILLIONS!
My doctor showed me this trick during a DMV physical that I really needed to pass. I was amazed at how quickly it dropped my blood pressure! Thank you for this reminder!

But we saved the best for last.⏩ 2) Celery - A recent study based in China, published by the National Institute of Health (NIH), hails celery as a great natural option for reducing blood pressure. More than 87% of the participants showed a reduction in blood pressure after consuming celery regularly.⏩ 3) Melatonin - It’s been used for years as a natural sleeping medicine with no side effects. But surprisingly, an Italian research study published in the American Journal of Hypertension shows it also brings blood pressure down while you sleep. ⏩ 4) Hawthorn - Hawthorn extract and hawthorn berries have been shown to have very good blood pressure-lowering effects, almost equivalent to prescription drugs.

This video is a godsend. I've always thought that short erratic breathing was my issue with blood pressure. When you said, "Just breathe man!" my life changed. Now let me try it out!!;
Hey man. I stumbled upon your video here on how to lower your blood pressure. Upon doing what you said, it actually worked. My blood pressure as 130/70. After about less than 5 minutes of deep breathing, I took my pressure again and it lowered to 112/64. Wow! Thanks for the suggestion.

@@Tadek5 don't listen to those goofballs. Normal BP is between 100/60 and 120/80. It is not too low until it gets below 90/60. 130/80 or above is low grade hypertension. Google what real doctors say if you don't believe me.
@@mechmat12345 you know. Low BP is not a problem. High preasure is a problem. But corupted doctors say that preasure must be 120/80 cose they want to sell pills. I have 140 in the day . 130 in the morning and I feel good. Most nowadays doctors are just medicine sellers not a doctor at all.
I love this! I have been eating a banana after each meal for years as well as beet powder and I was able to stop taking BP meds! Just breathe deeply...I will incorporate this! Simple and Sensible!
In February 2020 I was hospitalised for 3days because my BP was too high it was 170 and my right hand was shaking but it happened for few minutes, reason for this I had a problem with Revenue Dept after that Dr put me on chronic medication. I don't like to take tablets everyday . Is there anything I can do to avoid taking tablets everyday?
lol, yes, just have to remember once your breathing returns to your normal rhythm, you will be back to a higher reading. So isn't this really just us fooling the machine? May as well just place the cuff improperly to get another false reading.
This breathing thing really works. Before I saw this video, I practised breathing when my pressure went up. However I didn't do it for as long as 5 minutes. I will now do it for the full 5 mins. Thanks for showing this. I do believe in natural healing. 🌷⚘
Great information to be shared. It would be nice for more doctors to encourage this method instead of always prescribing blood pressure meds. Thank you for your helpful video. I am forever grateful!!!
About to try it, I will say breathing works for amazing things, I have controlled my epilepsy for 2 years with simply breathing techniques!!! I have been seizure free, though I still have moments I feel them coming on and close calls, I still take my meds! But once I started my breathing techniques I can stop them very quickly!!!
It's actually a good advice, I did it repeatedly and it works efficiently. I knew about banana & garlic, didn't know about breathing, I mean we all breathe regardless, but the deep inhale exhale is just great. It has truly improved my blood pressure to lower every 20 minutes. I'm really surprised, thank-you from Addis Ababa 🌻
Thank you for taking the time to help people with this problem . I’m a truck driver and I battle high blood pressure daily . I will try this breathing exercise and record my results 😀
You better abandon the truck otherwise it gonna be ďangerously high. Too much stress in that industry. I used to do it and that's the time I developed HP.
Get you a bottle of apple cider vinegar with the mother and pour a small bottle full of 50% ACV and 50% water and then take 1 or 2 tblspoons of it and chase it down with water and your blood sugar will normalize and stay normal for 24-36 hours.
@Adam.., thank you so much for sharing how to lower the blood pressure! Its very effective,,, I did it when my bp was 145/95 ... now back to normal 120/70..
I tried this breathing technique, and it worked. I took my first reading it was 149/90 with an 84BPSM and now after the five minutes I went down to 113/68, and 82 BPM. This really worked, thank you. I am 69 yrs. Old and taking two blood pressure medicines.
I started this exercise recently from one of your other videos and I do it at night when I go to bed. It is very relaxing, so much so that I don't get to finish before I start to doze off. I find myself falling asleep faster and saying asleep longer than before. I try to do the 30 reps that you suggested in your other video and less than half the time I get finished. I am so excited about this and hope that I don't have to take melatonin again to aid my sleep. Thank you so much.
THIS IS THE YOGA CALLED "PRANAYAM" ; with deep breath and closed glottis you are pressing the vagus nerve and vagus controls the heart rate and parasympathetic control of blood vs. the immediate result is reseting the heart and bp to lower level. it also increases the cortisol and lowers the adrenaline if it is practiced daily. yogis in India realized that breathing this technique is essential to control the autonomic nv system and control the situation such as stress . it was promulgated to public education and healthy life style .
4-7-8. Four beats inhalation, seven beats hold, eight beats slow exhalation. No pushing, nothing heroic. Repeat five times. Then two deep breaths and take your reading. This works for me.
This definitely work. My BP has been ridiculously last 3 moths due brain surgery, medications, and now withdrawing from gabapentin which has been horrible. I read about doing this but video is the best! Thank you.
I tried and it works in just a minute from 153/82 lowered to 128/74. Its amazing! Then why doctors don't inform us? Just wondering🤔Thanks for sharing this video 🙏
Because they are not taught holistic non-drug intervention and help in medical school. They are taught to prescribe drugs, and many of them get $$$ for prescribing certain drugs. Our medical system is disgusting. Very hard to find an ethical and creative doctor these days.
@@williamsazubuike8853 bravo. Exactly. Deep breathing infront of a doctor and giving temporarily good numbers wont help your health if everyday your BP is elevated and your doctor didnt prescribe you the correct therapy
My pressure was 129/89 with a throbbing headache. Tried this breathing for 10 minutes. Pressure dropped to 120/84. Five minutes later the headache was gone. Thanks. Will now have some fresh lime water. Jesus bless you.
129/89 with a headache no that's something else I was at hospital 2 days ago with 218/100 with racing hear,t nose bleed, frontal lobe pressure headache like you wouldn't belive blurred vision nurses said after it stabilized I was lucky to be alive,
You're so helpful to change my lifestyle. I'm gonna cancel my ambulatory 24 hours BP monitor appt next week for $75 from my own pocket. And do lots of relaxing breathing. My BP was normally135/80. My GP recommend me this test and decide if I need a medicine.
Yes, will try that next time I go to doctor office, to bring down my blood pressure. At home I’m calm , at doctors off ice I become all nervous. Thanks Dr.

Good infu... I remembe I did this a year ago when I was at the doctors because of my high blood pressure.. but I tell you what that breathing in and out really works! God Bless you my brother!
It does work. I've done it at the doctors office. That said. I don't know how long the effect lasts. I do it at home. When the blood pressure is down around normal, I forget about it for a while. I need to find out how long the effect lasts. But it does work.
Thank you for sharing this. I will try to incorporate this into my daily routine. My goal is to get off BP meds permanently as I am so sick of Allopathic doctors pushing drugs and not treating the root cause.
Okay, this is cool. I did this and it lowered it by 10 points. Who knew. From now on I will try this technique every time my blood pressure climbs above 140.
Well that actually worked! My BP was 144/85 pulse 73. After the 5 minutes deep breathing, it was 135/88, pulse 74. Let's just put that into perspective, my BP is always sky high at the Dr's! It was so high 5 days ago, that they immediately gave me an infusion to bring it down! It was 195/106! It came down to 175/106 after the infusion, so not much, but ok. I hate going to drs & hospitals, so I guess that's why. So I was told to get a bp monitor and monitor my bp daily, 3 x a day. That scared the bujeebus out of me! Now I have to see the numbers daily?! 3 x a day??!! My son made me face it, so I did. My bp slowly went down every day, and now I'm in the "OK" range, it says on the monitor. Not in green yet, but ok. I've been doing EFT tapping, visualization, meditation, BP tea, Lemon+ginger+garlic hot toddy, and relaxation, and now I am definitely adding this one to my therapy regime! And I will especially apply it at my next Drs visit, next week, before they take my BP!
I want to thank you so much for making this video! I was due to have minor surgery and the surgeon wouldn’t operate because my blood pressure was 216/121 I waited three years and will probably have to wait another three. That isn’t all It will be two weeks before I have an appointment about my blood pressure and probably mean a lifetime on tablets! In a total of twenty minutes from watching your video my blood pressure went from 174/114 to 125/84 Many Many thanks
Sometimes we can be rushing to a medical appointment, walked very fast or felt anxious or worried with something in mind. This may also affect blood pressure in some people. So your readings at a clinic before seeing the doctors can be higher than when you measured it at home at anytime in a more relaxed state.
Besides breathing, I have had dramatic BP lowering by simply listening to a piece of music that you can immerse yourself in, which fully calms your body. My favorite is Enya, who can easily drop my BP by 15 points.
Very good point. Controlled breathing, good tunes, (Gustave Holst at this time) and one sip on the vape, along with some yoga or even just good posture .10 minutes later....... And it's not just my blood pressure that's feeling better. Anxiety , rumination and stress are no longer @there boiling point I've been trying to live with lung damage from heavy metal poisoning, and these things along with a much healthier (and as it turns out tastier) diet along with exercise. I believe this a little love and maybe by the grace of God I've gone from not being not able to get out of bed, to a walking ,talking, somewhat clear thinking A.H. Healthy happy people are good for society?..... Who would have thought?
My musical offerings: J.S. BACH, Chaconne (Violin Partita No. 2 BWV 1004) - Andrés SEGOVIA [ guitar] Rodrigo - Concierto de Aranjuez for Guitar and Orchestra: 2. Adagio Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto #2 in C Minor, Op. 18 (Rachmaninoff apparently said: "Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music").
It works! Almost nstantly. I have been trying this for a few days and have been seeing results. Doctors placed me on BP medicine after ine high reading. I should have told them that I wanted to try something natural. I took the medicine instead and my body became dependent on it. This is a life changing video. May God bless you for helping others.
Whereas deep breathing can be great for relaxation and temporary lowering of BP, other things are even more important for long term good BP and hearth health, including regular exercise, good sleep, and a diet high in vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts & seeds. Eating this way also tends to maintain proper weight while promoting overall health and longevity (reducing risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia, and other major diseases). And it does it better than medication, which generally on;y treat the symptoms, not the causes. Certain foods have been shown to be especially good for maintaining good BP, including leafy greens (Kale, spinach, etc), beets, garlic, onions, and flax seeds. In contrast, the SAD (standard American diet), which is dominated by processed foods & refiined oils, simple carbs (cake, sweets, white bread, etc), and heavy meat and dairy consumption, fosters all these diseases as well as high BP. For more info and evidence for this, see Furman's book _Eat to Live_. As he shows, it is never too late to start making these changes, since very positive effects can be seen in weeks or less. Since each person is different tho, always check with your doctor before altering or reducing medications.
