Hello! Is it possible to control blood pressure in 5 minutes? Well, today I'm going to talk about a new technique to lower your blood pressure in just 5 minutes a day, and it's a very effective method, and I haven't seen anyone mention it yet on the internet or YouTube. Besides explaining a little about high blood pressure: which is more dangerous? Systolic or diastolic pressure? Maximum or Minimum? Should you continue to monitor your blood pressure at home or should you put your device away? Further, I will tell you the most effective ways to control blood pressure without medication, and even better, without spending a lot of money on it. So if you have high blood pressure, if your husband has high blood pressure, beware of mother, father, son. High blood pressure is the root cause of the two leading causes of death in Brazil – the first in 2022 was stroke and the second was heart attack. In addition, it is the leading cause of chronic kidney problems, which require dialysis here in the country.
And hypertension is insidious, and most often a person does not feel anything. Stay till the end!

And of course, share this video with your friends. And tell me: do you have high blood pressure? Do you have a lot of pressure surges? What medications do you take? What part of Brazil or of the world are you from? Write there! Come! High blood pressure is one of the most common diseases on the planet. It affects 1 in 3 adults. More than a billion people suffer from high blood pressure in the world.
It's a lot, isn't it! And we know that blood pressure a little bit higher than normal — which is 120×80, right, actually causes damage to blood vessels and increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. So keeping it under control is very important! What is blood pressure? It is the pressure that blood places on the walls of the arteries. Blood pressure naturally rises and falls: it tends to be higher during exercise and lower during rest. Which of the two numbers is more important? When you go to check your blood pressure you always have two numbers. The first number is your systolic blood pressure, which is the pressure produced when your heart pumps blood into your vessels. The lower number is the diastolic blood pressure, which is the pressure when the heart is at diastole, that is, when the ventricles are relaxing, between heartbeats when the heart is filling with blood. Until a few decades ago, doctors believed that high diastolic blood pressure – which was then its lowest level – was the most important cause of the harmful effects of high blood pressure.
They assumed that because systolic blood pressure rose with age and the arteries stiffened, it was common for that number to rise, so systolic pressure was largely ignored unless it was extremely high—above 160. Diastolic was treated with medication even when it was a little out of the ordinary. . But that view changed over time, especially when the largest studies were published. High maximum systolic blood pressure can be due to hardening of the artery due to age, but also due to hyperthyroidism, which occurs when the thyroid gland is working too much, diabetes, heart valve problems, and severe stress. Systolic hypertension is the most common form of high blood pressure in people over the age of 65. Studies show that if you have high systolic blood pressure, you are more likely to suffer from serious heart diseases such as heart attack, angina pectoris, as well as hemorrhagic stroke, which is catastrophic, in addition to kidney problems. And for those who have an elevated lower limit of diastolic blood pressure? It can increase the risk of aortic aneurysm, as well as heart attack and stroke, as well as heart failure — an enlarged, weak, or stiff heart.
So you can't say that one compress is better than the other. Both pressure measurements are equally important. If your systolic blood pressure reading is high, you can't let it go. The same goes for diastolic hypertension. Should you keep checking your blood pressure? yes. In a recent publication in JAMA, a leading medical journal, a group at the University of Michigan showed alarming numbers of very few people regularly measuring their pressure. Because of this, only 24% of adults with high blood pressure are well controlled.
Why do so few people measure? Because high blood pressure is often asymptomatic, unless it's very high, it will cause you pain in the back of your neck, bright spots in your vision, heart attacks, and stroke. Since they don't feel anything, people don't feel the need to validate. Of course, many patients may not be able to check their blood pressure because they work too hard, don't have time to take care of their health, or can't afford a blood pressure machine. If you intend to buy the device, I suggest using the arm device, automatic, which just presses the button, because the wrist device interferes more with arm height. Check your pressure at least once a week, if you have high blood pressure, at different times of the day, precisely because blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day and depends on activity levels, diet and stress.
For example, if you had coffee, your pressure would rise between 30 minutes and 3 hours afterward. Not that coffee will cause high blood pressure, for the vast majority of people, no. But if you had coffee and an hour later your pressure was high, it might be due to the caffeine. If you don't have high blood pressure, it's important to have an idea of your average blood pressure throughout the day, less regularly, of course, 1x a month is fine. What leads to high blood pressure? For many people, 95% of cases have no cause, it is genetic, known as essential hypertension. But there are some known factors that increase a person's risk of developing it. aging. It is very common as we age for blood vessels to become stiffer and not dilate as they should when blood flows through them. Another reason is your diet. You may have heard the phrase "you are what you eat".
Not surprisingly, what you put into your body directly affects how you feel and other aspects of your health, including your blood pressure. If you overdo it with salt, and eat few fruits and vegetables, your pressure will tend to rise. Diet is closely related to your blood pressure. Some foods can raise blood pressure and others have the ability to lower high blood pressure. Fruits generally lower blood pressure. There is a diet for people with high blood pressure, it is called the DASH diet, and it is basically this: eat 4 to 5 servings of fruit per day and 4 to 5 servings of vegetables – giving preference to leaves and roots. 2 to 3 servings of low-fat dairy products per day 6-8 servings of whole grain foods such as brown rice or pasta, flaxseed, chia and whole grain bread Avoid processed foods and sugar.
I made a video about the cheapest fruits for high blood pressure that has more than 2 million views, it's worth watching. Also cut back on salt, or better yet, replace salt with light salt. I've been doing it at home for over a year. If you don't have kidney problems or your potassium isn't too high, that will be fine. In 2021, the largest dietary intervention research came out and it was light salt that was shown to reduce heart attacks and strokes, something that is cheap and has an important benefit. A bag of light salt costs about 6 riyals. And Chinese research has just come out showing that high-sodium diets are associated with a higher risk of cognitive decline and memory impairment and deterioration. On the other hand, study participants who had more potassium in their diet were associated with higher cognitive function. Light salt contains 50% potassium, so it helps blood pressure and memory.
Potassium also helps maintain proper heart and muscle function by helping the kidneys get rid of excess sodium. Also cut down on sugar. There are studies showing that sugar can be as harmful or more harmful than salt in raising blood pressure. Because it causes hyperinsulinemia, increases insulin retention , worsens nitric oxide (which causes the arteries to dilate – increases uric acid, excess uric acid increases nitric acid which dilates the arteries. Excess sugar also leads to advanced blood sugar, age factors That hardens the arteries and ages your body.It is also important for you to sleep well Insufficient sleep increases blood pressure, because the body is always on alert.And if you snore, you wake up very tired the next day or your partner or partner notices that you have stopped breathing During the night, you should see a specialist to be checked for obstructive sleep apnea, which is one of the causes of secondary hypertension.Stop smoking if you smoke.Smoking causes an immediate rise in blood pressure.Nicotine stimulates the nervous system to release substances that cause blood vessels to constrict, causing Helps raise blood pressure and reduce or prevent alcohol Alcohol can interact r with some high blood pressure medications affecting the level of the drug in your body or increase side effects Drinking alcohol can cause your blood pressure to rise, increasing your risk stroke.
Excessive and frequent consumption of alcohol can lead to high blood pressure in the long term. Avoid a sedentary lifestyle. Sedentary people are more likely to develop high blood pressure. You have to do exercise, especially aerobics. If your doctor allows it, the best is HIIT, which is high-intensity training, which is training in which you do high-intensity shots. It's not for everyone, but it helps with stress more than just walking. And if you are overweight or obese, improve. For every 10 kg you gain, on average, your pressure rises by 16 mm Hg. systolic pressure and 10 mmHg in diastolic pressure. Now, is there a way to control your blood pressure by taking just 5 minutes a day? Yes, and not with the help of any onions.
I say this because many have come to ask me about a video circulating on the Internet that says if you put your feet in a grated onion, the pressure will drop in 5-10 minutes. This does not exist! The video is fake news. I am a doctor for over 20 years, a cardiologist, I study daily and I have not read any serious article or recommendation on this subject. It only serves to waste onions… throw money away! Onion was eating! Even if you give captopril or atensin under the tongue, which is a quick remedy, you won't have much of an effect in lowering your blood pressure within 5 minutes. However, one type of breathing exercise can lower your blood pressure in just five minutes a day. But watch out! Not for the treatment of hypertensive crisis. This is what the survey released last year showed. Respiratory trainer has been found to be as effective as weight loss and more effective than salt reduction. What kind of breathing training? High Endurance Appetite Muscle Strength Training. What is this? Take five to 10 minutes of 30 resistance breaths with a handheld device.
I have mine here, which I bought when I got the virus and it worked fine. I train and in less than four weeks the pressure has already dropped by about 5 mmHg. This research is from the University of Colorado Boulder along with the University of Arizona and comes out in September 2022 in the Journal of Applied Physiology. This improvement is similar to or better than the improvement seen with aerobic exercise or weight loss. Let me point out that breathing training can produce quick results, but it is not a substitute for the other healthy habits I just mentioned, nor should it be a substitute for blood pressure medication. Those are just the doctor who should adjust or reduce or raise or subscribe or withdraw, okay? Initial reductions in blood pressure appear within two weeks – which is faster than what is seen with regular exercise. BP will continue to fall for at least the first six weeks and possibly thereafter . Participants used a manual device, similar to an inhaler, for five to 10 minutes a day, taking 30 deep breaths while the machine offered resistance, so the breathing muscles had to work harder to inhale.
How does it improve blood pressure? One way is to control the sympathetic nervous system. In people with high blood pressure, this system tends to become overactive, and deep breathing is likely to reduce its activity. This type of breathing can also improve the health and function of endothelial cells (which line blood vessels). How do I do? I breathe through this mouthpiece as hard as I can. And the device provides resistance, so inhalation is very hard, but there is no resistance on exhalation. I do five sets of six inhalations in a row, with a break between sets. The last set of six breaths can be very difficult. The device they made is an expensive device, even this one is more expensive, but here in Brazil there are many brands of this type of training such as Respiron, which cost an average of 30 reais. Slow, deep breathing has been linked to benefits such as stress relief, improved sleep, healthy blood pressure, and improved mental health. But this breathing resistance training can allow you to get more benefits in much less time, as lifting weights in the gym can strengthen your biceps.
Well that's it. Did you like the video? I hope you learned a lot about high blood pressure and how to better manage your blood pressure. And what will be the next video you watch? I'll leave two recommendations here = our hypertension playlist, which has a lot of interesting videos and my video on vitamins that improve your memory.
