Wow, thanks for that. What an encouragement that list is- I’m eating all of them and increasing cardio to lower my BP. Drs are puzzled as I have no risk factors for hypertension.
Thank you for the great information. Try to stay away from Instant Oatmeal as the oats are refined and it contains a lot of sugar. If you have the time make a batch of regular oatmeal and it will keep for a few days in the fridge. You can add cinnamon, nutmeg, walnuts, almonds, ground flaxseed, some dried fruit like cranberries. I add a few dashes of turmeric. You can place the mixture in an 8x8” pan and cut off squares for breakfast. Warm up in microwave for about 2 min. Very easy and tasty❤️
I'm struggling with high blood pressure I'm worried I'm unemployed I can😢 afford to buy some of the mentioned goods but I'm happy to hear about garlic, beetroot and flexseed It's my first time seeing you Docs God bless you 🎉
You guys are so much fun and you make us want to eat the right foods 😁 Seriously, as someone new to high blood pressure and glucose I am very appreciative of your videos ❤
I've been giving as many on that list to my parents as we struggle with high blood pressure in our fam. I just shared this with them. Along with exercise, we try to keep our sodium levels low too.
Fabulous, as usual. Being WFPB/VEGAN, 💚🌱💚I’m on board with the majority of your list. Found you because I had left replaced 1/1722, and you two offered so much valuable info. Right knee up January 2023, and you along with my surgeon, Dr Kenneth Schmidt, Ortho AZ, will MAKE MY KNEE GREAT AGAIN ! 💖
Thanks so much! Have been on BP meds for 6 years and my potassium has dropped. I am allergic to bananas so I am grateful for all the alternatives you gave today! My favs: oatmeal with cinnamon, pumpkin in anything and broccoli. Never had a sweet potato so will give them a try! Have a great week and stay safe!❤️🩺🥼
Never had a sweet potato? Well the ends are the best! They take a while though, plan a good hr in the toaster oven and pierce to see! We now cook prior to BBQ'ing 'cause how late am I expected to friggin dine anyway? Pls eat the skin, very healthy!
@@joseenoel8093 Thanks Josee! Nope, they weren’t in the stores when I was young and we never grew them in the garden. I will have to try them now for sure!
Bananas sweet potatoes Watermelon 🍉 are my favorites !! I love berries! I love yogurt & oatmeal & pumpkin 🎃 ! Thank you very much for the information !!
I believe the Oatmeal helps for sure. For years every morning I have a cup of Oatmeal with Honey and Cinnamon Average cholesterol averages 150 has been as low as 117 when I worked on it other ways. I use the magnesium but the potassium got to the point the level got to high. I started the thistle seed and beet addition after the last video. If it has a recordable affect i'll post it.
Does anyone remember the Netflix "Highlander" series? The poor king 👑 can't do his crowd pleasing crap and he's dying, our hero says "Have some oatmeal" but the king says that for poor people! Yogurt and oatmeal makes a nice light facial scrub!
You guys make me want to go to the grocery store! I have seriously high BP 180’s over 100’s. On 125 mg Losartan and 25 mg hyrdrochlorothorazide. Have serious white coat syndrome and as a result have been turned away for medical procedures
Love to watch you guys! The way you deliver your knowledge is the best, with humor! Thank you. I actually listen because you made me smile 😊. I love eating sweet potatoes at night because it helps me sleep during this menopause visitor I have nowadays! Thank you again for this video.
Thanks - trying to learn to eat more plant based & info easily found is enough to make your head spin & want to grab a burger - any help / resources very much appreciated
Australian here, male, born 1952. I'm writing this to warn others. I have had gastroesophageal reflux for about 28 years - probably due to my large hiatal hernia - and have needed proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to prevent lower esophageal erosion (which has caused significant anaemia and pain). My arterial blood pressure was noted to be high in 2006 and would have steadily increased had I😮 not used antihypertensive medication. And now it's even difficult to control with those same meds. I thought it was genetic or lifestyle originally but upon further information it seems that the PPIs are causing renal failure and *renal failure causes hypertension and vice versa*. My eGFR is 46 (should be about 90). I'm thankful for PPIs because otherwise I might have Barrett's oesophagus (cancer) or very severe anaemia, but I'm in a difficult position and I'm not the only one. Surgery for the hernia is not usually very curative or successful and has complications. As well as renal damage, my blood magnesium concentration is always below normal unless I take oral magnesium - this is also due to PPIs - but even small amounts of Mg citrate gives me diarrhea and it's difficult to get the Mg++ I need totally from diet. Losing a huge amount of weight (especially abdominal) can help (I'm doing that). Histamine receptor blockers (H2 blockers) were once the only medication available for acid reflux but these are not as effective as the newer PPIs and from my literature reading it's uncertain if they spare kidney damage either. Discussion welcome.
Some nice plain Greek yogurt, put some cacao powder (not cocoa), little stevia and mix!! Delish🤗probably could put some cinnamon in there😊 CACAO is a best source for antioxidants, iron, fiber and magnesium.
You just described my diet…good to know that I’m on the right path! Which number in the blood pressure reading is more important to keep low…systolic or diastolic?
Thank you so much, we could do with a few doctor ' s like you to cheer the people up, its worth putting you on just for the hummer, God Bless you always❤❤😂😂
Kale salad chop kale dried cranberries walnut raspberry vinaigrette. Yum. Spinach olive oil garlic chopped sauteed in the oil add the spinach not to long sprinkle with fresh lemon juice. Question I read that the alicin in the garlic has to be raw not cooked for the benefits true?
Thank you two for the great video. Some fantastic information..I will definitely be trying the things you guys mentioned..also have heard and read..that hibiscus tea also works for high blood pressure..and lowers blood sugar levels too.. again much thanks for your help 😃👍💯❤️
I have a peptic ulcer and many foods aggravate my stomach including bananas, sweet potatoes, garlic and olive oil 😟 I'm trying the beetroot and flax seeds at the moment though 👍🏻🤗
Fasting and drinking a big glass of freshly pressed mixed Citrusfruit-juice daily, with Grapefruit, Lemon and Orange, had my BP go down drastically from 160/90 to 115/65, and my pulse went up from 45 to 60 bpm!!! It happened very quickly as well from one day to the next! I was so surprised so I thought something was wrong with my BP- meters!? ... but I have 3 BP-meters (Omron, Braun, Beurer) and they all showed lower BP. I even bought another BP meter just to be sure, and yes my bloodpressure is way down! Some days my BP is even as low as 100/60! I have tried to not drink Citrus juice for some days and the low BP still continues. I´ve now been fasting and drinking Citrus juice for over 1 month, Another 10 days and I will finish fasting and go into the keto diet. I have lost weight from 87 kg to 80 kg so far. I know that most doctors wants you to take BP lowering medications instead, and often warns you from drinking Grapefruit juice as they know it works even better to lower BP than medics, because then the medical companies wont make that much money! A periodic fasting now and then with Citrus-juice cleans out the arteries and keeps your BP low!
Another terrific treat,docs! Always so very informative and entertaining. Only trouble is most of what you talk about, I’ve either got it … or had it. For goodness sake, please don’t discuss autopsies…. Or else I’m a goner!🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒 love you guys💜💜
Know what? My mom told me I was in charge of her pre-paid funeral. I called Dartmouth to see what the future held, it's to simply to I.d. her scrawny bod pre-cremation as no mistake law entails! Past that job onto another relative, oh yes you can, why not, never did meet the guy whom she's to be buried with and that's a heck of a way for his 1st wife to be meeting my mom!
Wow. I wish I can remember high school. Boy u two got good memories. Anyways, Dr. Z when I was pregnant with my daughter Rachael, I had such a craving for watermelon and dill pickles. Honestly, I would eat a watermelon a day and a jar of pickles every second day. Great great info Docs. Thxs for the valuable info. ❤️🤗🇨🇦
I think diastolic can be more important as it is a measure of how effectively the blood is per fused through the arteries and capillaries of your body . It’s a measure of how well your arterial system is working .
Spinach and all dark greens. Dark fruits. Grapes, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. Broccoli again because of dark green. Yogurt is also good for digestion. Natural probiotics
Thank you, thank you and thank you for this information, I hate the pills, they make me feel sick, bloated or loopy and most of the foods you gave I love, gonna get to them. What about grapefruit?

Hi Ash. Similar to how if you fill an expandable tube with fluid the tension in the walls increases. Like a balloon even. It’s the laws of physics. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Just found your site today. Love it! Liked and subscribed. I love the little bit of humor added to the great info. Will be watching and learning from you in the future. Very thorough info answered my questions about alternatives to lower BP. Also appreciated how you mentioned daily serving amounts in some of them.
❤😂 I love you you are the best docs ever on this planet 🌎 who gives advice on food instead 🥦 🙏medication 💊 💋🥰 love you have a long healthy life stay on yt till your are 100 yrs old God bless you greetings Ica
We can add it to the list Angela. Both of those drugs are the same class - beta blockers. Both are used to treat high blood pressure. Metoprolol is also used to treat heart failure. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Please warn folks not to overdose w Tuna. Mercury poisoning. I know. Went on an overboard tuna diet after my hip replacement 3 yrs ago. Excess protein helped healing, but at a price. Thanks.
My older cat 🐱 would only eat tuna towards her end of life, I didn't know about the mercury poisoning. Tippy developed neurological problems, one pupil diolating, telltale sign.
@@TalkingWithDocs I think tuna's ok if u stick to the guidelines. I was eating double the weekly recommendation daily for about 3 months. Good affordable wild caught salmon so difficult to find in my neck of the woods. I finally found a reliable source.
I bought myself a sphygmo from the chemist - it's actually a bit of fun to measure your blood pressure once a month. Still grating beets on my greens too. PS trust a medic to say ingest instead of eat lol Great vid guys!
Hi Jude. We are not fans of the keto diet but rather support a whole food plant based diet. Carbs are not evil like keto people think. Refined carbs and sugar certainly are. There is a big difference and science has proven that. Thanks for watching and subscribing
lol. You guys are so smart and funny. Thank you for the list of foods. I just happen to be sitting here eating some homemade pumpkin muffins with lots of cinnamon in them so I'm glad to see pumpkin and cinnamon on the list. Not sure, but I've heard that celery also can help lower blood pressure. I understand that kale and spinach are great, but I prefer Romaine lettuce. I wonder if that has comparable health benefits.
Hi Words so the main benefit from celery is the fiber. Kale and spinach we would say are superior to Romaine but any leafy green is good. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Garlic, Bananas, Salmon/Tuna, Sweet Potatoes, Kale, Spinach, oatmeal, dark chocolate(cocoa), watermelon, broccoli, berries, kimchi, cinnamon, olive oil, walnuts, and pumpkin.........and the giraffe is the mammal with the highest blood pressure......I think is is also why tall people have heart and blood pressure issues.......
Hi Docs. New subscriber here but my wife has followed you for a while. Just wondering if flax oil is as good as flax seed for helping reduce high blood pressure? You guys are awesome. Thanks.
Hi David. There are less studies on the oil and we would argue too much oil is never good for you so woukd stick with the ground flaxseed. Welcome aboard!
Well heck. No wonder my BP is 220/100. I quit eating right. No meat, but I quit eating period. 1 meal a day maybe? I need to get back to all you said, which is what I used to eat. Even if I'm not hungry. 😞
@@TalkingWithDocs I've got to get back to that. Exactly. I just quit eating due to lack of not being hungry. So? Thanks to your video, I've pulled out Oats and a banana for breakfast. I'll make more Veg soups with Kale and Spinach. Both of which I love. Just gotta make me EAT. Thank you for an excellent video. 🙂
Just discovered your videos and instantly subscribed. Very helpful and encouraging info. Doctors who talk about food as medicine -- love it! Also loved the Sesame Street reference -- you two are very fun to watch interact!
In NZ and Australia we eat pumpkin all year round. Baked with sweet potatoes, in NZ called kumera. Kumera was grown as a staple food pre-dating European arrival.
lol. I find it refreshing on a warm day. And I get dehydrated really easy, so all the different melons are great to help with hydration. I hate those salty sports drinks. They’re disgusting. So far only been dehydrated bad enough to end up in ER and on a few bags of IV fluids. 🤢
I got the reference, and now that song is stuck in my head (but in a good way =) ) Sesame Street - Mahna Mahna (1969) Thank you for the great info, your videos help a lot.
Just a note: I believe that you referred to L-Citrulline and L-Arginine as precursors to nitrous oxide when I think that what you meant to say was nitric oxide.
You discuss topics where no family doctor has gone before (Star Trek music, please). Input for future videos: You already discuss a few supplements in other videos - Vitamin D, Glucosamine, fish oil, magnesium, probiotics, etc. Perhaps discuss additional supplements based on common issues. e.g. for HBP: Green Tea extract, Resveratrol, CoQ10, Grape seed/skin extract, Quercetin, Hawthorn Berry, L-Arginine, etc (these are only an example - not a recommendation for viewers)
1. Beetroot Juice
2. Flaxseed
3. Garlic
4. Banana
5. Salmon and Tuna
6. Sweet Potato 7. Beans (White) 8. Quinoa 9. Kale 10. SPINACH 11. Oat Meal 12. Dark coco 13. Water Melon 14. Broccoli 15. berries 16. Cinnamon 17. Olive oil 18. Pumpkin
Thanks for sharing!!
And walnuts!
Walnuts
Thanks! I was thinking of doing something like that 😊
How about Chia Seeds. I know they're not identical, but I though similar to Flax Seeds.
Beet root juice - flaxseed
Garlic
Bananas (2 a day)

Thank you for the great information. Try to stay away from Instant Oatmeal as the oats are refined and it contains a lot of sugar.

Nice work David. The sweets are tough. Best of luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
What is the placebo for a beet juice study? Piss + vinegar + red dye #5?
Ha Brian. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Great stuff. But so far I can't get an explanation of why/how increased fluid in the blood vessels raises the pressure. Please help
Hi Ash. Similar to how if you fill an expandable tube with fluid the tension in the walls increases. Like a balloon even. It’s the laws of physics. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs Ah I suspected if was a simple answer, I just couldn't see it ! Thanks so much
You two rock in every way!!!
Your videos beat any foods I've ever eaten to lower my BP. 😁
Well there you go Tory! Thanks for watching and subscribing
Just found your site today. Love it! Liked and subscribed. I love the little bit of humor added to the great info. Will be watching and learning from you in the future. Very thorough info answered my questions about alternatives to lower BP. Also appreciated how you mentioned daily serving amounts in some of them.
❤😂 I love you
you are the best docs ever on this planet 🌎 who gives advice on food instead 🥦 🙏medication 💊 💋🥰 love you have a long healthy life stay on yt till your are 100 yrs old
God bless you greetings Ica
Why thank you
I like the new beginning to your videos. I love learning from your videos.
Thanks Judith. Figured we would spice it up a little 😀. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Will you please do a video on sa node bradycardia or sick sinus syndrome. What is the difference between Atenolol and propranolol? Love you guys.
We can add it to the list Angela. Both of those drugs are the same class - beta blockers. Both are used to treat high blood pressure. Metoprolol is also used to treat heart failure. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Great information on the foods and why for each. Thanks for doing part 2. Is there enough additional foods to do a part 3?
Hi Gregg. There just might be! Thanks for watching and subscribing
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Please warn folks not to overdose w Tuna. Mercury poisoning. I know. Went on an overboard tuna diet after my hip replacement 3 yrs ago. Excess protein helped healing, but at a price. Thanks.
My older cat 🐱 would only eat tuna towards her end of life, I didn't know about the mercury poisoning. Tippy developed neurological problems, one pupil diolating, telltale sign.
We would agree T and would primarily recommend plant sources for omega 3’s. Thanks for watching and subscribing
That’s horrible Josee. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs I think tuna's ok if u stick to the guidelines. I was eating double the weekly recommendation daily for about 3 months. Good affordable wild caught salmon so difficult to find in my neck of the woods. I finally found a reliable source.
Thank you! Very educational and fun to watch 😍😍😍
Very welcome Penka. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I bought myself a sphygmo from the chemist - it's actually a bit of fun to measure your blood pressure once a month. Still grating beets on my greens too. PS trust a medic to say ingest instead of eat lol Great vid guys!
Glad you liked it Alison. Thanks for watching and subscribing
A lot of these things are not allowed on a keto diet. Too many carbs. But some, like spinach, kale, oily fish are ok. H
Thanks.
Hi Jude. We are not fans of the keto diet but rather support a whole food plant based diet. Carbs are not evil like keto people think. Refined carbs and sugar certainly are. There is a big difference and science has proven that. Thanks for watching and subscribing
lol. You guys are so smart and funny. Thank you for the list of foods. I just happen to be sitting here eating some homemade pumpkin muffins with lots of cinnamon in them so I'm glad to see pumpkin and cinnamon on the list. Not sure, but I've heard that celery also can help lower blood pressure. I understand that kale and spinach are great, but I prefer Romaine lettuce. I wonder if that has comparable health benefits.
Hi Words so the main benefit from celery is the fiber. Kale and spinach we would say are superior to Romaine but any leafy green is good. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs Ok, cool. Great to know that. Thx!
Garlic, Bananas, Salmon/Tuna, Sweet Potatoes, Kale, Spinach, oatmeal, dark chocolate(cocoa), watermelon, broccoli, berries, kimchi, cinnamon, olive oil, walnuts, and pumpkin.........and the giraffe is the mammal with the highest blood pressure......I think is is also why tall people have heart and blood pressure issues.......
That’s awesome Trevor. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs thanx, keep the vids coming.....good stuff!
I did a search and couldn't find any videos on collagen. Can you do one? Thanks!
We can add it to the list Skippy. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Hi Docs. New subscriber here but my wife has followed you for a while. Just wondering if flax oil is as good as flax seed for helping reduce high blood pressure? You guys are awesome. Thanks.
Hi David. There are less studies on the oil and we would argue too much oil is never good for you so woukd stick with the ground flaxseed. Welcome aboard!
Well heck. No wonder my BP is 220/100. I quit eating right. No meat, but I quit eating period. 1 meal a day maybe? I need to get back to all you said, which is what I used to eat. Even if I'm not hungry. 😞
Hi Garland. If you’re serious a whole food plant based diet will help your BP
@@TalkingWithDocs I've got to get back to that. Exactly. I just quit eating due to lack of not being hungry. So? Thanks to your video, I've pulled out Oats and a banana for breakfast. I'll make more Veg soups with Kale and Spinach. Both of which I love. Just gotta make me EAT. Thank you for an excellent video. 🙂
Just discovered your videos and instantly subscribed. Very helpful and encouraging info. Doctors who talk about food as medicine -- love it! Also loved the Sesame Street reference -- you two are very fun to watch interact!
Thanks so much C’esf Moi. Thanks for watching and subscribing

Awesomenes..this is cool thanks fellas..was looking for something like this.
Glad we could help! Thanks for watching and subscribing
In NZ and Australia we eat pumpkin all year round. Baked with sweet potatoes, in NZ called kumera. Kumera was grown as a staple food pre-dating European arrival.
Nice Winnie. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Great info! Love watermelon, berries, pumpkin scones, pie! lol. Melons! Love summer fruits/veggies 😊
I'm not a fan of water melon, I hope that doesn't make me racist, kidding!
lol. I find it refreshing on a warm day. And I get dehydrated really easy, so all the different melons are great to help with hydration. I hate those salty sports drinks. They’re disgusting. So far only been dehydrated bad enough to end up in ER and on a few bags of IV fluids. 🤢
😄😄I don't think they were advocating scones and pie.....
Yes Cathy! Thanks for watching and subscribing
I got the reference, and now that song is stuck in my head (but in a good way =) ) Sesame Street - Mahna Mahna (1969) Thank you for the great info, your videos help a lot.
great info. thx
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent must be good fun in social setting thanks from UK
Hi Francis. We enjoy a good time for sure. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Just a note: I believe that you referred to L-Citrulline and L-Arginine as precursors to nitrous oxide when I think that what you meant to say was nitric oxide.
Yes nitric for sure! No laughing gas here Larry
You discuss topics where no family doctor has gone before (Star Trek music, please). Input for future videos: You already discuss a few supplements in other videos - Vitamin D, Glucosamine, fish oil, magnesium, probiotics, etc. Perhaps discuss additional supplements based on common issues. e.g. for HBP: Green Tea extract, Resveratrol, CoQ10, Grape seed/skin extract, Quercetin, Hawthorn Berry, L-Arginine, etc (these are only an example - not a recommendation for viewers)
Ok Goldies24! Thanks for watching and subscribing
Well done!
