Lower Blood Pressure in 5 Minutes (2 Proven Approaches!)

Hypertension impacts over 1,000,000,000 people worldwide and according to recent reviews less than 1 in 5 have it well controlled.
As a result, a tremendous amount of research is constantly being conducted into ways to lower blood pressure effectively. As most people know, there are a number of different approaches that can often be useful in lowering blood pressure including dietary alterations, maintaining a healthy weight, and getting regular exercise.Finally, if lifestyle changes alone are not enough medication may also be necessary but may be unavailable or ineffective in many cases.
Are there other options available? The answer is yes!
Today, we're going to share two proven approaches to lowering blood pressure at home. These can be remarkably effective and may be essential tools for people that are at higher risk in heart attacks, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and stroke due to hypertension.
We hope you find this useful!

    Just did the breathing exercise in the waiting room for about five minutes before my blood check up where I’ve normally been getting 140s over 90s at the appointments. Today after the breathing technique right before the appt I was at 120s over 80. Thank you.

    I donate plasma on a regular basis twice a week but have had a high blood pressure reading for the last 3 trips, including my first attempt today. They gave me my usual 15 mins to relax etc before trying and sending me home if it was too high the second time. I couldn't understand because im pretty active, i drink lots of water, have a decent diet which has been great the last two months, ive never smoked or drunk alcohol in my life etc and am relaxed before donating. So I looked up videos to quickly lower blood pressure and thus one was at the top of the list.........I'm absolutely amazed and want to thank you for the success. Literally my blood pressure lowered within 10 mins and I'm now donating as i write this comment. Definitely have a new subscriber and supporter 🙏🏿 Keep up the amazing work 💯

My blood pressure is constantly between 113/67/62 - 118/72/69 every morning. My readings use to range from 130/80/72 -135/82/80. The added benefit of increased hand strength is a bonus as well .

I downloaded an app that's a metronome, set it for 1 beat per second with 10 bars and set the timer for 5 minutes. My bp actually did go from 120/85 (which is low for me, it's been much worse just this week alone) to an amazing 107/73! Ive been tracking my bp for several weeks and have never had it be within normal range, I'm always either hypertension 1 or 2. So THANK YOU! I'm sold, I'll do this breathing exercise once an hour.

    Very informative video. FYI in Europe Blood Pressure (BP) readings are Not taken in medical settings because they know that BP will increase with travel and all it takes to get to the medical facility. Instead, patients are encouraged to take their own BP readings at home after relaxing for some time. The result in your true BP at rest. In the USA, BP readings are takin in the doctors office or hospitals and are artificially high resulting in patients getting subscribed BP medication needlessly. But the Pharmaceuticals love and profit from it. I will try the breathing method at home and when I go to see my doctor. Thanks again for the video.

    Same here with my bp in the 200's/100's lately. Went to the hospital twice in a week but all my labs, ekg, chest xray were fine. Of course they pushed pills. I have an appointment with a naturopathic Dr. monday & a follow up on the 20th. I will be requesting blood work for vitamin & mineral deficiencies because hospitals don't include those for some reason. I've been taking the meds but hate how they make me feel. I've developed a cough, constipation & more fatigue than before in 4 days of taking them. I'll admit this is years of bad eating habits catching up to me so i'm working on my diet & exercise in the meantime. I take 1200 mg beetroot supplement an hour before the pills now & the lowest i've gotten to is 133/94 before bed. This will not be my life 🙏🏽

    I’m really appreciating these extra tips - and the fact that it’s based on actual scientific studies!! Just to add my own personal strategy: I have personally seen a significant drop in my blood pressure by exercising every day at least 10 minutes (I’ll do more on the weekend for one day - maybe 30 minutes- since I have more time on the weekend.) I would consider my routines to be moderate low impact exercise with a cardio component - some days I’ll just do toning/light weights. They are not strenuous. I do exercise segments from KZread and I particularly like 5 minute segments because I can do 2 back to back, or maybe split routines up (morning, midday, evening). And because the segments are so short and not intensive exercise, I’ll often say “I have time for one more” and do a total of more than 10 minutes in a day. But this is the key, it has to be EVERY day or nearly every day of the week. The change in blood pressure over time is remarkable if I do nothing else! When I stick to a relatively healthy diet (I’m not very strict diet wise, but I do try to watch my sodium intake) and also consume known blood pressure reducing foods/drinks (hibiscus tea, beet juice, coconut water, potassium rich foods), my blood pressure rocks! I mean, I can get it down to 117/120 over 70/80 - and this is from peaks that I had previously of 150/160 over 90’s (and higher if I was stressed). And I have never taken blood pressure medication up to this point (I’m 53).

    @@ZHealthPerformance Ive lost from obese to about 20 lbs overweight BMI 29. I have genetic hbp- on meds since my 20s! Even when I weighed 128 pounds (totally normal for my height). Also tons of stress. Ive had problems with that no matter what. In my 50s now and when I go to the doctor instead of the 117/78 or so which is been about normal for me for quite a while on lisinopril and atenolol. Recently, the first time they take it at the doctor the diastolic has been going up in the 80s and even 92 and 94. Any specific thoughts on this situation? My doctor is not too worried about it but as a high anxiety individual I am. She says she thinks it’s the white coat syndrome but why has it just come up now? If they wait and take it again it’s back down to normal after I’ve been there for a while talking to the doctor. I know you are busy. Sorry to ask, but you make more sense than most of what I’ve read/heard. Thank you!!!

    Deep breathing excercises (I do the 7-4-8 method .. inhale for 7 secs, hold for 4, exhale for 8) work great for my systolic bp, drops almost by 20 points..slower for diastolic pressure, about 7,8 point drop. I do 6 or so repetitions..works immediately.

    I know bp meds are not for life. Doctors just want you to get on that medication and keep you on it. My mom has heart disease and high bp. Once she changed her diet to eating only a whole foods plant based diet, along with avoiding oils, and sugar, she not only lost all of her excess weight, she no longer needed blood pressure medication. This also helped drop her cholesterol numbers more than her statin. This all happened within two months of changing her diet.

I learned that if You inhale through your nose slowly , and allow the air to go into your lower part of your lungs and then exhale through your mouth , You are using all of your lungs . If You do this correctly , Your upper part of your body will barely move as you inhale . The 2nd thing I use is eating Raw Garlic . ( Google health benifits of Garlic )
