Episode notes
Use Beets For Nitric Oxide
- Beets supply dietary nitrates that Dr. Ford Brewer says convert to nitric oxide to relax arteries and lower blood pressure.
- Take a beetroot supplement instead of excessive juicing and watch for oxalates if you have kidney stones.
Brew Hibiscus For Blood Pressure
- Drink two to three cups of hibiscus tea daily for 2–4 weeks to lower systolic pressure about 10 mmHg, Dr. Ford Brewer says.
- Steep 2–3 grams of hibiscus for 10–15 minutes and check for interactions with blood pressure medicines.
Try Aged Garlic Extract
- Use aged garlic extract or regular garlic to lower blood pressure through allicin and related compounds, Dr. Ford Brewer explains.
- Expect mild GI upset and blood-thinning effects and check interactions if you take anticoagulants.
