Reduce hypertension quickly
(in 15 minutes no meds)
Comment “POP” for research (& guide)
I got this question today so whoever you are here you go
Waiting for meds usually costs you
Here’s how to take immediate control of the autonomic nervous system, which is the cause btw
One…Isometric hand grip
Get a firm ball (a stress ball works best)
- squeeze at about 30% max grip for two minutes straight
- rest two minutes, repeat four times
Don’t worry, I’ll explain how it works
Stimulates mechanoreceptors (specifically metaboreceptors which respond to metabolic byproducts like lactate, hydrogen ions & adenosine)
Afferent signals to the nucleus of the solitary tract
Reduces sympathetic nervous system outflow from the vasomotor center
Leads to less norepinephrine release
which removes the vasoconstricting signal
Results in systemic vasodilation & the drop in blood pressure to the tune of a 15-20 point drop in about 10 to 15 minutes (& it’s documented)
Two…Controlled nasal breathing
- four seconds in six seconds out for five minutes
Here’s how it works
Stimulates the vagus nerve
Increases high heart rate variability (specifically the respiratory sinus arrhythmia, don’t panic it’s normal)
This is where rate increases on inhalation & decreases on exhalation
Shifts to parasympathetic dominance which reduces cardiac output & peripheral resistance
How about supplements?
There are over a dozen here are the high speed heavy hitters
Potassium nitrate
(via beetroot powder)
Works in about 45 minutes
Magnesium glycinate
(natural calcium channel blocker)
The hand grip protocol alone outperforms most first line medications for acute reduction
Blood pressure is nervous system output this reprograms it
