Those who’ve been following my work for years have seen how my videos have evolved. In the past, the hibiscus results may have been the whole video, but thanks to everyone’s support (https://nutritionfacts.org/donate/), I’ve been able to delegate the logistics to staff and concentrate more on the content creation. This allows me to do deeper dives into the literature to put new findings into better context. The videos are bit longer, but hopefully they’re more useful—let me know what you think!<
For such a leading killer, hypertension has not gotten the coverage it deserves on NutritionFacts.org. Here’s a few videos with more to come:
Whole Grains May Work As Well As Drugs (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/whole-grains-may-work-as-well-as-drugs/)

What are the other health problems associated with not getting the vitamins normally gotten from animal products, such as B12, D, and K2?
I sure appreciate the longer videos dr. greger, which gives me so many more points to bring up when discussing this with the many people I am trying to influence! It really helps us when you do so much work researching the many complex related ideas which put the puzzle together better for us. The Just Eat More Plants foundational concept keeps surfacing while others get bogged down with various animal vs. plant arguments.
I take 5,000 iu of Vit D-3 and get a Vit B-12 shot every few months or so. In the meantime I take Niacin B3. Having enough niacin is important for overall good health. As a treatment, higher amounts of niacin can improve cholesterol levels and lower it. I got that info on a search. You can also search what foods have B's in it. The D-3 is the most important for everybody. I would have to lay in the sun all day to get enough that I need My Doctor said. I do take a walk if my foot doesn't bother me, So I also do weights, stretching, pilates, and whatever else I can.
Just eat plants! Truth! Love this video!
I just eat plants and I run marathons BOOM! 🙂 Vegan for life peeps.

Vegan for the win! Plant power XD
There are more and more vegan athletes.

How effective is hibiscus tea for lowering high blood pressure?

Yes, I'll stick to my plant based diet and not bother running 1000s of miles so I can eat cheeseburgers! 🙂
Saril (Hibiscus tea) is so delicious! And it makes a great substitute for wine! So- have a plant based lunch or dinner, then have some delicious, strong, tart hibiscus tea (boiled with ginger slices and orange peel, then lightly sweetened with apple juice) . It's really good!
Love your videos Doctor. They are helping me tremendously.
Doc, you really need to clarify whether the hibiscus in these studies is the hibiscus flower associated with tropical islands, or the plant that's called "sorrel" in the Caribbean, roselle in Australia, bissap in some West African countries, etc. They are very different, and there is some confusion concerning this. If you look up hibiscus sabdariffa, it is sorrel/roselle, not the pretty hibiscus flower seen on the boxes of hibiscus tea on supermarket shelves. Please, please research and clarify.
Run 1000 miles a year or just eat plants… Hmmm I pick the latter . 🙂
Hibiscus tea is plant based. Do both…drink hibiscus and eat more plants. Done.
There's an all natural therapy can help you stop hypertension for good, without having to use any unwanted side effects from drugs even if you've been taking drugs for years.
For people who have metabolic syndrome, plant based diets are not the blessing you think for insulin and insulin resistance. Not every diet is ideal for everyone. Clearly low carbs help those who are already insulin resistant but this propensity may be inherited or at least the tendency to.
Guys. cure your cholesterol safely doesn't need to be hard (I used to think it did). I'm going to give you some advice right now. Get a popular diabetes home remedy called Hybetez Remedy (just search it on google). Thanks to it I've eliminated my pain & embarrassment for good with healthy approaches. I shouldn't even be speaking about it cause I do not want a bunch of other guys out thererunning the same game but whatever. I am just simply in a great mood today so I'll share the wealth lol.
Thanks again for all you do.
Where do you find pure Hibiscus tea???
Anyone know what is Hybetez Remedy about? I hear a lot of people cures their diabetes naturally with Hybetez Remedy (do a google search).
Is Hybetez Remedy effective to cures your diabetes naturally? I've read numerous good stuff about this Hybetez Remedy (search on google).
This tea should be limited though because of the manganese content, right?
As specialist, I do think Hybetez Remedy is great way to cure your diabetes naturally. Why not give it a chance? perhaps it's going to work for you too.
The obsession with cholesterol is sad. SUGAR is the problem, not fat…
I'm vvegan but my blood pressure is at 130 80 fuck
Cows have big bones, big teeth, big heads , where do they get their protein? They only eat grass!
You lower my blood pressure Dr. Gregor.
Does Hybetez Remedy (just google it) help me treat my high blood pressure issue inherently ? I notice a lot of people keep on talking about this high blood pressure secret remedy.
Very true. I had hypertension 140/90, went vegan and now 108/63 after a year. No one can believe diet is the only change. My dad died of a heart attack at 40 so I need to be careful.
That is significant! 👍🌱
Another great video!!
Matcha > green tea. Does this also mean that hibiscus powder > hibiscus tea?
Does hibiscus tea alkalize the body like lemons ? Or does is increase acidity?
Great vid
My BP went from 130/87 to 114/74 in 2 months of cutting out animal products and not eating fatty or processed foods and sugared drinks including juices. I also lost 15 lbs.
I ate mostly potatoes rice beans fruits and vegetables. Little bit of nuts and guacamole for plant fats to help with absorption of fat soluble vitamins.
I feel much better and I look significantly skinnier. Went from 36 waist to 34. Clothes don’t feel so tight anymore. NO EXERCISING. Imagine if I had been exercising!
Plant based diet works people. Meat/Dairy tastes good but it’s bad for you in the quantities our society currently eats. Avoid it as much as you can and make yourself sexy.
If you don't have high blood pressure how you ever going to get to heaven
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
What about all of the aluminum in hibiscus?!
Im curious if 1 strong cup will work? Ive convinced my partner to get rid of land animals and drink golden milk, im sure i could get him to drink 1 glass of hibiscus. 5 though? I dont think so.

feels better for being a couch potato
(I am aware the point of this video isn't to encourage couch potatoness, but I'mma be real with y'all, I ain't about to start exercising)
Vegan six years (not junk food) and was 170/100 at the doctor last week. Have been between 140-150 over 82-90 in home measurements this week.
Can you check the quoted studies in your book how not to die
Because
Halvorsen BL, Holte K, et al. The total antioxidant content of more than 3100 foods, beverages, spices, herbs and supplements used worldwide. Nutr J. 2010
Nothing is available in favour of it
Cool
Eat plants and drink hibiscus!
Thanks for the info!
I still don't get what is better:
Hibiscus tea hot or soaking the leaves over night in cold water?
Husband drinks cold brewed (in distilled) hibiscus supposedly to aid with high blood pressure.
Exercise is best for heart. Just walk an hour a day
I really like hibiscus teas, but havent been drinking it for a few years. Now that I tried it again, as a plant based person, my blood pressure was already so low that it went too low and made me dizzy so I had to stop drinking it. 😢 that was when I realized how potent it really is.
Doc
Excellent podcast topics

I was blown away by the blood pressure of endurance runners compared to meat eaters and vegans. Great video!
Thank you! 🎉❤🥦
