Episode 2900:
Dr. Neal Malik explains how blood pressure naturally rises with age and what can be done to manage it without relying on medication. Regular high-intensity interval training, reducing sodium intake, increasing potassium-rich foods, and following the DASH diet all support heart health and may lower hypertension risk. Even modest weight loss can have a significant impact, proving that small, consistent efforts can lead to meaningful improvements.
Quotes to ponder:
“Even under optimal conditions, their blood pressure will likely still go up.”
“Potassium is kind of amazing in that it can help offset the damage from consuming too much sodium.”
“Even a small drop in body weight (like, 5-10 lbs.) can be enough to help drop your blood pressure by a few points.”
