High blood pressure (hypertension) is a condition where your heart is working harder to pump blood through your body. This can cause damage to the artery walls and raise the risk of a heart attack, a stroke, a blood clot, or cramping of the heart muscle (angina).
Fortunately there are natural ways to lower high blood pressure by getting nutrients into the diet like Vitamin D, antioxidants, potassium, magnesium and other phytonutrients which we can obtain by eating certain foods.
In this video you will learn all about the top 10 foods to lower high blood pressure. These foods normalize blood pressure by treating the root causes like high insulin, cortisol or nutritional deficiencies.

Lower Your Blood Pressure Naturally
4.5 -> Hypertension is a condition
where your blood pressure is
8.46 -> higher than normal for a long period of time.
10.8 -> This means that your heart
is pumping harder to send
14.28 -> all of the blood and oxygen through your arteries.
17.22 -> Over time this extra pressure puts
a strain on the inner walls of your
22.2 -> arteries (endothelium) which makes them lose
their flexibility and they become stiff,
27.06 -> (and rigid)
27.72 -> Raising the risk of blood clots and forming
plaque which can lead to heart attacks, skipped
34.14 -> beats (arrythmia), strokes, kidney
damage, eye disorders and even death.

40.98 -> But the question is what causes this
high blood pressure in the first place?
45.78 -> One of the main causes is eating too
much refined sugar which depletes
50.76 -> your antioxidants making your arteries
stiff and reducing your circulation.
55.62 -> Another main cause is having
a deficiency in potassium,
59.76 -> which causes our bodies to hold more fluid
putting strain on the heart and the arteries.
65.4 -> Also eating refined carbohydrates like bread,
68.7 -> flour, pastries and cakes will all deplete
potassium, and raise a hormone called insulin
75.12 -> too high which can damage your arteries
on the inside, making them very tight.
80.1 -> A lack of regular gentle exercise can also
contribute to having higher blood pressure,
85.2 -> because the heart is a
muscle and it needs exercise.
88.68 -> High levels of mental stress can
raise a hormone called cortisol
93.48 -> which can cause problems with
the signals sent to your heart.
96.84 -> And also being deficient in either magnesium,
vitamin C or Vitamin D can make your vascular
103.62 -> system tight and restricted, so the heart
has to work harder, bringing up the pressure.

contain anti-hypertensive properties,

152.7 -> Eating 4 tablespoons (30g) flaxseeds
on a daily basis is one of the best
159.24 -> ways to lower your blood pressure naturally.
161.4 -> Flaxseeds contain alpha linolenic acid,
164.88 -> a healthy type of fat which helps to heal the
cells inside your artery walls (endothelium),

inflammation throughout your body.
174.12 -> It's important to grind your
