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!<br />
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:

72 Risposte a “Hibiscus Tea vs. Plant-Based Diets for Hypertension”

  1. 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.

  2. 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. 

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. It's still shock me just how a number of people have no clue about Hybetez Remedy despite the fact that many people cure their high blood pressure issue inherently using it. Thanks to my mate who told me about this. I have fix my high blood pressure issue inherently .

  14. As specialist, I believe Hybetez Remedy can be good way to cure your high blood pressure issue naturally . Why not give it a shot? perhaps it's going to work for you too.

  15. I read a lot of good opinions on the net about how exactly Hybetez Remedy will help you cure your high blood pressure issue naturally . Has anybody tried this high blood pressure treatment?

  16. Has anyone used the Hybetez Remedy to cure your high blood pressure issue naturally ? Simply do a search engine search. On there you will discover that a great tips about how you can treat your high blood pressure issue inherently . Why don't you give it a chance? maybe it'll work for you too.

  19. 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)

  20. 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

  21. 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.

  22. Doc
    Excellent podcast topics
    But please speak slower so people can follow you, process what you are saying.
