Want to get off my blood pressure medicine so I have been looking for solutions to help. Before anyone says to exercise, it's not easy for me as I have health issues that make it difficult.
I tried Olive Leaf Extract, it made my body ache, made me acid worse, made the bottom bp number go down a little, but I noticed the top bp number went up. So, stopped taking that.
So, I recently read about how beets can help lower blood pressure, so I figured what the heck, I'll try it. Just picked some beet root supplements and I will start taking them tomorrow.
Got 2 types of beet products, which one should I try first?
1 - Total Beets by Force Factor : https://forcefactor.com/products

Found this article on the health benefits of beets that I thought you might like to take a gander at...
Everything to know about the Health Benefits of Beets
Cucumber too. Grows fast!
Aw man, I hate beets. But I'll try them this year, darn it. (Little kid pouty face, kicks dirt)
I loved them so much as a kid now I can't stand them 😂🤣
Asking for the kids, how did you eat them back then?
Literally just a bitter and beetroot sandwich 🤣😅 loved it Now can't stand it
I steam mine, then pour some apple cider vinegar over them while hot. Yum, cold or hot.
Pickled beets are great for you. Use fermented and ole cider vinegar. Yum
Also lowers blood glucose. Good for diabetics.
Also look into things that boost your nitric oxide production, and things that impede your bodies production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide production starts in the mouth, and gut health is important in its production. Watch some of Dr. Berg's videos on youtube on it.
One thing to watch for with the Total Beets chews. I haven't checked to see if this is true for the tablets too. At Walmart, the Total Beets Blood Pressure chews and regular beet chews have the same number of chews - 60. But the blood pressure chews look like they have twice the amount of super beet superblend. However, that's for two chews, regular ones it has half that amount but it's listed for for one chew. Pretty darned sneaky since the blood pressure chews are $5 for the EXACT SAME THING.
I use Hawthorne. BP is 140/85 and I'm 66 yes old. Don't take pharmaceuticals at all.
I've had success with hawthorne.
Ivermectin lowered my blood pressure a lot.
I have read that people in Africa take it for that reason.
I read a while back that someone said their husband takes it to lower his bp.
How often & how much do you take? Does it take a few weeks to see a difference?
I usually take it once a week or so. Sometimes I forget and then take it about twice a week. My pressure is totally normal now, and before ivermectin it was around 145/100
I don't remember how long it took, I was taking it to prevent covid and shedding, and just noticed it was much better.
Thanks! Glad it worked out that it helped your bp even though that wasn't why you were taking it, what a good side effect, uh?
Honey pickled beets are great on a wrap or burger
The powder is the best. I have taken the chews, pills and powder. The powder doesn't taste great but works the best. I noticed I lost weigh. Must be the extra energy it gives you
Oh look! Another good for you product another product unavailable virtually Australia wide at present.
Can you order it online and it mailed to you?
No idea. Not a huge fan personally anyway. Even noticing beet seeds are hard to come by too. My plan is planting them for the pigs 😅
Sliced beetroot sandwiches.... mmmm.
also you could see a functional medicine doctor who can evaluate whether your blood pressure issues are vascular related and test the strength of your heart, and also evaluate any stresses such as EMFs or other environmental factors.
There are products to heal the endothelial layer throughout the blood vessels of the body, and certain peptides and amino acids like l-carnosine can strengthen the body’s resilience from EMFs. sampling of who is out there: https://holisticheartcenters.com https://functionalheart.com
