The Problem of Eating to Lower High Blood Pressure
Do you struggle with “what to eat or foods to eat to lower your blood pressure naturally”?
Especially, if you are one of those who have been ‘watching what you eat’ and being ‘conscious of your food’, yet your blood pressure is not showing ANY signs of improvement, then come closer.
In this 7-part series, I will share with you many SECRETS, including some of the mistakes most people make when using food to lower their blood pressure, as well as a better approach and strategy for using food and your daily meals to reverse high blood pressure naturally.
Two nights ago at our Champions Hangout (a weekly coaching session with people on their high blood pressure reversal freedom journey), after Martha (not her real name) shared her observation of no longer going hungry until late in the afternoons, I broke into uncontrollable laughter.
She had chosen our “4-in-1 Meal Plan” over the “High BP Freedom Meal Plan”, simply based on visual or apparent appeal.
For clarity, the 4-in-1 Meal Plan is meant to handle high blood pressure, arthritis pain, weight shed, and blood glucose problems at the same time, whereas the High BP Freedom Meal Plan is specifically meant for high blood pressure control. So, she thought the 4-in-1 Meal Plan was going to be easier for her, simply because she saw it had more oats as breakfast, as against fruits on the other plan.
Three days into it, she realized she continued to be satiated by the oats and so consumed less food overall. Hence, she asked to make the change back to the initial plan. Of course, I obliged her after my spontaneous laughter.
But there’s a deeper meaning and lesson from her experience, which I regard as mistakes most people make and which is responsible for the staggering statistic of over 1.28 billion people on earth still living with hypertension despite having food available to them as a possible high blood pressure control strategy.
High Blood Pressure Foods and Meal Planning Mistakes To Avoid
Not Every ‘Healthy Food’ is For You
Things are NOT always as they seem. Just because in the general sense, a food is considered ‘healthy food’ or is marketed as a “healthier alternative”, does not mean it is BEST for you, as a hypertensive patient. For example, honey is supposed to be ‘healthier’ than sugar, but if you are hypertensive and also obese, honey is not the best for you because honey may still contribute to your weight gain.
Stop the GENERAL ‘eating healthy’
And instead move to ‘Eating to REVERSE high blood pressure”, which is SPECIFIC to your need, because once you are hypertensive then using FOOD as part of your medicine needs to become your GOAL. Every other individual, hypertensive or not, should be “eating healthy” and ‘making healthy food choices’, but in your case, you need to go SPECIFIC. Going SPECIFIC means switching to using your meals to target your high blood pressure and any other diagnoses you may have. It is pointless to eat for high BP, without factoring in diabetes, if you are diabetic or having gastric ulcer or high cholesterol and not factoring them all in your meal planning. (I will reveal to you how best to factor them all within this 7-part series. Ensure you read all)
Lack of FOCUS
FOCUS stands for Follow One Course Until Successful. The moment you switch to this High BP Reversal with your food, close your ears and eyes to every nutritional teaching, fad, and diet plan out there, else you will get CONFUSED by all conflicting, ‘eat red meat, don’t eat it, use seasoning cubes, don’t use seasoning cubes’ and a confused mind CANNOT SUCCEED. So, follow the Plan until successful.
Ninja Hack- Give it Time!
One of the greatest mistakes I see all the time is people thinking that because they ate one bowl of salad today, their high blood pressure must disappear by tomorrow. Nah, my friend. If it worked that way, trust me nobody would still be hypertensive today. Before you review your meal planning and strategy allow at least seven days. If you notice any progress, then go another seven days and if you’re proud of the speed of your progress, go the whole 30 days and re-assess. But if no change at all, in seven days, perhaps review the overall strategy
This is what we recommend to even our private clients, and this is how they successfully normalize their blood pressure naturally without relying on medicines every single day.
Conclusion: Avoid All of These Four High Blood Pressure Meal Planning Mistakes
I know, this might be a lot to process, but trust me when I say we have seen so many instances of these kinds of mistakes. So, take all the time you need to process this information, but make sure you avoid them all. In this article, we agreed that not all healthy foods are appropriate for you. You need to stop the ‘general eating healthy’ while switching to “eating to reverse high blood pressure”. Then you focus on this high blood pressure reversal plan for at least 7-30 days and then tweak as you progress and get results.
