Mindsip insights from this episode:
Incorporate isometric wall squats to lower blood pressure
According to a 2023 meta-analysis, the most effective exercise subgroup for lowering blood pressure is isometric wall squats.
Prioritize sleep to deactivate stress response
A lack of sleep activates the nervous system's fight-or-flight response, which can make your heart work harder and cause blood pressure to rise.
Brush teeth after dinner to signal calorie intake completion
Brushing your teeth after an early, light dinner sends a powerful signal that your calorie intake for the day has finished.
Ferment fiber to relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure
When gut bacteria ferment fiber, they release chemicals that relax the walls of our blood vessels, helping to lower blood pressure.
Increase potassium intake to lower blood pressure by seven units
Increasing potassium intake to between 3,500 and 4,700 milligrams can reduce systolic blood pressure by an amazing seven units.
Incorporate diverse protein sources to reduce hypertension risk
Eating a wider variety of protein types, from both plant and animal sources, is associated with the lowest risk of developing high blood pressure.
