Blood Pressure

Hey,

Let’s talk about something that affects millions — often without symptoms — high blood pressure. Left unchecked, it can damage your heart, kidneys, and brain. But the good news? You can optimize it naturally.

Here’s how to bring your numbers back into balance:

🛠️ 1. Increase Potassium & Magnesium

These minerals help relax blood vessels and balance sodium.

• Eat more: bananas, avocados, spinach, sweet potatoes, dark chocolate

• Consider: magnesium glycinate or citrate supplements

💧 2. Ditch the Hidden Sodium

It’s not just salt from your shaker — packaged foods, sauces, and bread are often loaded.

• Swap processed snacks for whole foods

• Use pink Himalayan salt in moderation

🧠 3. Master Your Stress

Cortisol spikes = blood pressure spikes.

• Try daily deep breathing, 10-minute walks, or guided meditations

• Cold exposure also helps lower stress-induced inflammation

🏋️‍♂️ 4. Move with Intention

Exercise improves blood flow and vessel flexibility.

• Aim for 30 minutes/day: walking, lifting, or HIIT

• Even 10 minutes of zone 2 cardio helps

🍵 5. Add These Biohacks:

• Beetroot juice: high in nitrates → better nitric oxide → lower BP

• L-citrulline: supports nitric oxide production

• Omega-3s: reduce vascular inflammation

Blood pressure isn't just about numbers — it’s a direct marker of how well your body handles stress, circulation, and inflammation.
