High Blood Pressure

[Potato_Wedges]

okay so kinda of like OMAD 1.5, just to confirm you do stage 3 water fast 72hrs only once a month aside from 1.5meals once a day?

Yes. Only water fast 72hrs once a month. Research water fasting & stem cells regeneration.
It's difficult at first.
So start off by having low carb/calories diet, leading to the water fasting.
Best part is you also lose weight at the same time.

I think drinking green tea can help lower hbp as opposed to coffee, anyone experience it?

But if u want direct hbp impact, is no condiments at all. i swear this works, but life jin sad loh.

i think it does for me, for over weekend, i eaten 2 large packs of the ruffles potatoe chips (170g) and this japanese chili potatoe chips (180g), outside food, + 26km walk on sat + 11km (8min/kim) jogs on sunday, then consume green tea whole day tuesday, wednesday, my measured bp is average about 128 to 134 for systolic. I also do fasting from friday to sat about 24hrs fast, sat also 24hrs fast.

previously mine was like 145 to 155 for systolic.

i find coffee drinking huge amounts, increase my hp to crazy levels.

Will check further then report back, i only switch over to green tea from coffee very recently.

was taking bf and lunch but skipped dinner and more or less on IF as well

i did a close to 5 days fast, but didn't monitor my BP then, though its always been borderline

ic, if u find it hard, i suggest u skip bf n go for lunch + dinner or lunch + light fruits (eg bananas ) etc

Bananas contain potassium, potatssium counters the effect of sodium.

Do note that according to the Medical Doc video i posted (who is a teacher faculty member), reducing blood glucose is a way to reduce hbp without taking the 4 drugs i listed above. In her video, she mentioned ketos, etc but all in all means reducing blood glucose meaning that the glucose molecules draws in water all over the place, this is aside from salt also drawing in water into the blood.

glucose also draws in water and this actually causes hbp cos all the glucose cells are fill with water. From Dr. Ford Brewer, talks about insulin resistance and arterial plaque.

dunnoe how huge is ur huge.

i give u my experience as reference.
Drinking 10 cup coffee daily 140+ > drinking 1 cup coffee daily 130+
Drinking 1 cup coffee daily 130+ > drinking 1 cup green tea daily 128~133
Drinking 1 cup coffee daily 130+ > drinking no coffee/tea daily 130~132

green tea isn't miracle pill, it does benefits your body... but not to that extent.
then potato chips will also jack your blood glucose, will make your blood thicker, cause higher bp.....

i did more fasting the week of 22nd July, max one day, OMAD couple of days. I think fasting + aerobic exercise has huge impacts to reducing hbp.

[Can Or Not]

Stage 1: Drink plain water for 24 hrs. No other food.
Stage 2: Drink plain water for 48 hrs.
No other food.
Stage 3: Drink plain water for 72 hrs.
No other food.

I did this once a month to cleanse and detox. Other days, only eat 1.5 times a day (12pm lunch and 6pm light dinner).
Feel much healthy.and BP drops drastically. Zero medication.

This is fierce…. Day 3 you be so weak.. how to work?

I am semi retired. WFH.
So this regiment is pretty feasible for me. U r right...day 3 is very tough coz no energy. Spent most day 3 sleeping to build new cells.
Day 4 back to eating. Strangely...your body does not crave for food after day 3. Very good for weight maintenance & low blood pressure.

Non smoker and drinker bro. Not so stressful with job either. Recently started exercising by playing basketball at least 3 times a week.

Did you retake the blood pressure reading after you’re ok liao? Cos blood pressure is usually elevated when sick one hor. That’s huai sick 的时候 strongly not recommended to go for health check.
