I saw you on tv over 15 yrs ago. You look great. Thku so much for sharing this. My blood is hyper high I hate hbp pills. God bless you. I will share this information. 🙋🏻from Indiana. 🌺☝❤💃
@@Zonyafoco What about a person that's has diabetes? Also what about magnesium? Nobody talks much about magnesium. To my understanding people with diabetes are low in magnesium.
@@Zonyafoco I use kelp for iodine. I know so many people use iodized salt and still have thyroid problems, why is that? I also use Himalayan salt and Celtic sea salt.
Two weeks ago my blood pressure was 212/128 and I was taking extra blood pressure medicines. I started walking 5 miles every day. I changed my diet completely and this morning my blood pressure is 108/67 and I am completely off of blood pressure medicines. I can teach anybody to do the same. Stop all alcohol consumption. Stop eating all foods that convert to sugar like bread, rice, and potatoes, and stop your intake of salt. Increase your intake of avocados, walnuts, pistachios, hemp seed, and a high polyphenol count olive oil, eat lots of fish that is high in omega 3 oils, and green leafy vegetables. Consume 1 teaspoon of pure cocoa daily. Also, take a high-fiber supplement that is pure like psyllium hulls. Do not over-consume water. Do not take Metamucil as it does contain psyllium hulls, however, it also contains other ingredients that are really bad for your intake. The first week you will feel bloated from the high-fiber diet, however, that will pass and the high fiber will lower your cholesterol. Another benefit you will receive is your arthritis (which is only inflammation) will go away. High blood pressure can be completely controlled by diet. I hope this helps and good luck to you. Bottom line. Lower your sugar intake, increase your fiber intake and lower your blood pressure. it's that easy!
@Barbara Goldfuss Get the book called "the plant paradox" by Dr. Stephen Gundry. Follow the diet in the book and all your blood pressure issues will be resolved. Good luck and God bless.
Blood pressure is better when is not high or low. 120/80 is good. It can go a bit up or down, I've 14 to 15 years experience now. Thanks and Remain blessed 😇.
I read the comment about not having background music that comment is absolutely correct because you have a bubbly personality you have clear spoken voice you can hold people attention you don't need background music
I'm just GLAD there's no back round music.. lol It can be too loud alot too. I agree with everything you said , THIS is the first time Ive seen her. I'm at the end and replaying it. I would have asked her the same questions.. she says plain and straight. No punches. If I did everything my docs wanted, I'd be on 17 medications. But I've proven I'm not crazy, I READ..
Thank you so much for making this video. As an African American woman, I have been frustrated and very concerned about my high blood pressure issues. I am determined NOT to go on medication of any kind and am thankful for earthly angels like yourself to help me along my journey in life. God bless you!!
One black woman also suffering HBP despite education and careful dieting. Did she mention SuperBeet Chews? Supposedly proven to lower HBP. I'm trying these.
I am 71 yrs old wt 107 lbs fairly active. I went to the doctor for dizziness. I was diagnosed of Hyperlipidemia ( hi cholesterol) my cholesterol level is 273. This was last week I’ve been using coconut oil for cooking, and for tea in the morning and evening. First time I saw ur channel. I will surely stick to this 3 foods that you suggest starting today. Thank you.
You certainly don’t hear that very much “Make Food Your Medicine”. I have been telling my self that for some time now because most Dr.s want to put you right on Meds, and never talk about Diet, Food & Exercise! I tell my self and others “ Let thy Food be your Medicine and let thy Medicine be thy Food”. I finally heard one Dr. from Cleveland Clinic say this same quote. I was pleasantly surprised and happy to hear this coming from a Dr. instead of pushing Rx .😊
I had high blood pressure; cholesterol and pre- diabetes. I eliminate extra salt, sugar and fat. I look for the list of fruits that spikes the sugar, eliminate them, I Cooke and instead of salt I use natural spices like chive, cilantro, garlic…., for the fat I canning the lean meat. Before I use that meat I scoop all the grease out and decant it. In less than 3 months all three of them went down. Now I have my garden eat and canning the rest!
First time coming across your video, searching today how to lower BP naturally. Started having BP issues June 2020 and been on meds since about September. The Lord put it on my heart to take charge of my health, so today, I purposed myself to indeed take charge of my health, get off meds, in order to experience a healthier, more productive life. Very excited to receive more knowledge and sharing your videos. God bless.
It's my first time here today..and really want to learn what I am not doing right and how to improve to.no meds..I just got prescription 2 weeks ago..took it fir only 4 days coz i think its it's a big deal for me to allow to be hooked on high blood pressure medication for life..i started exercises and hope to align right food intake.. am trusting God for total healing
Thank you very much. This is encouraging. I will follow your advice to stay healthy, strong, and happy. My mother was a dietician and she cooked, preoared all of our meals from scratch and our family has stayed healthy for over 7 decades. She insisted on water for dinner over sweetened drinks or sodas. We never suffered obesity.
Checked my BP in a store today and it was sky high. Scared me, I've been worried all day. Your enthusiasm makes me feel better and motivated. I hate the thought of taking meds. I want to try the natural way first. Thanks and I wish everyone here good health!
If you don’t like flavor of avocado trey adding seasoning w roasted cumin r Costco No Salt Seasoning. In Smoothies I don’t taste the flavor of avocado but really enjoy the creamy texture it adds.
Purchase a good blood pressure monitor (With a sleeve) and check your pressure often at home. Came in handy for me several months ago. My pressure was 190 / 110 and after several tries I used a second monitor and the readings were the same. I then went to the emergency room and got checked out. After returning home, I reviewed everything I'd been consuming for the previous days until I discovered that the source of the problem was Altoids ( The curiously strong mints). I had been gorging on those mints for days. I googled the candy and learned that excessive amounts of peppermint will spike blood pressure.
I'm not sure why but the way you speak to people and help with education and your happy personality is so refreshing. Made me cry in this video, bc weight, and trying to change my lifestyle has been a struggle all my life. And I have high blood pressure too. So thanks for this video ♡♡
@@OceanFrontVilla3 thanks for your comment. You are right about this one! Please give the lower Cholesterol with these 3 foods a try and see if we didn't improve ourselves. I think we are are!
Wow!! THANK YOU! I have recently been told my BP is too high. Feeling depressed from having to go on meds. I have been trying to not go there, working out, eating mostly vegan. But that hasn’t helped. I lost my husband from a heart attack he was on BP meds and they didn’t help.😢 I am vegetarian close to vegan for most of my life. This helps so much lots of stuff I can eat.
Having been diagnosed with fatty liver I was searching UA-cam for healthy eating/ tips recipes discovered Zonya Foco video and watched the whole video. Very interesting and informative. Had a salad 🥗 with avocado, no mayo and no salt 🧂. I am guilty of salting my food out of habit without tasting first. You are right, so tasty and much healthier. Subscribed and Intend to watch ALL your UA-cam videos. See what other healthy eating tips can pick up. Thank you.

Thanks for your interesting video. Growing up in Trinidad my mother cooked dried beans/ peas every day with other things. I always got gas with it. Trial & error helped me to get rid of that problem. Here is how I prepare my beans/peas. No more gas. 1) I clean it to remove the bad ones or stones. 2) Wash in a colander in running water. 3) Soak beans/peas overnight in warm water. 4) Throw out water and wash beans/peas in colander. Now you can cook beans/peas on the stovetop, pressure cooker, slow cooker or IP. Season to your taste. I would like to know if it worked for you. Bless day.
Thank you....a wealth of information....I only disagree with one major point and that is the fruit....as a person with hypertension and fatty liver and insulin resistant, that smoothie would bring my blood sugar soaring!! I do frozen Kale, frozen blueberries, kefir and water....it gets better each day I eat it. I miss fruit so much!! I take electrolytes too...protassium 1000 mg plus all the others. I cannot seem to eat all those vegetables as I am on OMAD...one meal a day....so I supplement with the electrolyte powder. I learned a lot in your video...thank you!
That's good you have mentioned in the Foods in Lowering High Blood Pressure it's well I eat bread but wheat and eat a lot of Salads, Chicken takes the Skin & removes it & adds Lemon gives the Favorite + Salad & Corn, Green Beans,& Hot Water & Squeeze & drink it with the Meal
God did me a favor by blessing me with Celiac Disease - I learned how to eat foods on the color spectrum wheel - my eyes improved - and began to heal me inside out. I just discovered your video by mistake - and the greatest I have found on UA-cam. For a 60+ yr old my heart, valves and arteries are squeaky clean but have been having a little bit of trouble with my blood pressure. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge about food I love your videos and am looking into purchasing one of your books.
Ianthie. Good info. Not much people will offer good info. 🍋 Hibiscus 🌺 ginger garlic 🧄 helps lower blood pressure. Also what happen if you make bread without salt. Baking powder also contains salt.
Salt acts as a yeast inhibitor and helps it to rise slower and keeps the yeast from eating all the sugars in the dough. Salt helps the gluten to hold more water and carbon dioxide. Salt helps bread have a stronger and tighter crumb. It will rise too fast and lead to a different texture but will also taste bland.
Am on medication for a year, ,this is my local food grown in my country PNG.. THANKYOU for that wonderful video, God has showed me a new way of life ..am facing sexual dysfunctional at themoment your advice please..thankyou and God bless you 🙏 ❤
Not a big medication person, I understand everything that you are saying. I've been on high blood pressure medication for years..it seems like if you start you can't get off. My blood pressure is under control.
Just discovered your channel this morning. I found out recently that I have high blood pressure, around 146/85. I am hoping to avoid meds if I can. One person commented that you’re taking too much time talking. She wants you to get right to the point. At first, so did I, lol. I just wanted to know which THREE foods. But, as you talked and explained about salt intake vs potassium, the variety of foods, etc. AND with your excitement and flair while teaching, I felt like a thirsty sponge, taking in all this valuable information. Knowing all the info BEFORE going to the store, before changing lifelong eating habits, will really help in putting a new and healthy ‘diet’ together. I’m excited to change my over salted, over sugared diet. I’m scared of my blood pressure getting totally out of hand. No way (unless I have no choice) do I want to take meds. It would seem so ridiculous to take meds WHILE continuing unhealthy eating, because in the end…one is going to overcome the other. Thank you Zonya, for bringing this information to us in energetic detail, making it so enjoyable to hear and learn.
Thank ylu so much for making this enjoyable enough for me to watch ro the dnd. I have recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. I can be 160/110 0n a regular. I do not like taking meds but because it was just going up(i found out theough routine check) I was usually a low pressure case so I was totally shocked. I listened to my Dr. and started LI... Within 1 wk the side of my face started swelling along with my lips. I came off of it about a month ago ago vowed tht I wont go on anything else. Thank u so much for this video. Im only 53 yrs old!
I love the way you explain things. Thank you! don't eat fruits every day. I just eat bananas, apples and grapes but I love vegetables, I take veges 3 times a day, kale, spinich, broccli and sweet potato. I am also taking coconut water.and hisbiscus tea, coconut water also has more that 300 grams of potassium per container.
I add ½ a banana to my smoothie every morning just for the sweetness factor. The potsssium comes naturally when we eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables every day.
Great, I wish I were in a position to do this. I have been on medications for 8 yrs and i am happy to have the opportunity to listen to ur advice.. Help as many people as I can. God bless u.
Thank you so much for this information and breakdown of “the why”! I have learned what I need to take charge of my life and make the changes I need to make! Hallelujah
Today is October 20, 2021 so I am seeing this several months after you recorded this podcast/video. It's waaaay past attending your program. Although I saved this presentation, I'm interested in buying the two books on the counter. I would like to memorize the entire video because I learned so much just listening. I want to learn more. Here's some stats on me: I was 5' 1" and I'm down to 4' 11". I'm only 67. Most recent Dr. appointment was yesterday. BP was 130/80. Weight was 285!!!!! I "accidentally" stumbled onto your podcast and I firmly believe that God works in mysterious ways. I had already decided that today would be the first day of the rest of my life! Then I found you. I don't like sweet potatoes and have never tried avocados but I am more than ready to step out of my comfort zone. HELP!!
Don't give up, just do it. I'm on the same journey as you, it's taken me 8 weeks, to lose 11 pounds, but i WILL keep doing my best to get healthy. Last Doctor visit was a shocker as well as an eye opener. My BP was 187/92 and my weight was 187, BP and weigh the same. I'm only 5 feet. Wishing you well on your journey.
I’m watching for the first time . I’ve been diagnosed with BP 160 /90 in 2014, taking 2/12 mg of Ramipril from my dr. In Germany. Now in The US my dr has changed my meds so many time . I’m taking now 4 different meds for my BP . I urgently need to get out of my med. please help me .
Does it really make a difference what kind of salt to use such as iodized salt to add iodine or sea salt, kosher salt, Himalayan salt? Very important question for many to know the answer!!! Please address this question! Thank you!💖
I love this video . The instructor is not fast talking , she is thorough. I was always conscience of my sodium intake ,but never thought bread had that much sodium. I’m also happy to learn about potassium and it’s affect on blood pressure . Thanks so much !
I’ve been making a three-bean chili with pintos, red kidney beans and black beans and wow has it lowered my blood pressure and best of all - it is absolutely delicious. My husband just loves it too.
Thanks for your vidio. Im on medication for high blood pressure, I am scared to death.I will take your advice. I have given up salt,sugar and im eating plenty of fruit,nuts,fish and veg.I feel much better.
If its done correctly. Vegan, plant based need supplements especially B12, Iron, iodine, D3 and you need to balance proteins. Plant based proteins are not complete and need to be combined to become complete for absorption. You can develop many health issues in the long run, if you do not supplement and plan your daily meals. You need to start taking regular blood tests after a year or two, to see if you are missing key nutrients. Vegan, plant based diets are considered radical diets in the medical circles because you can not get all the nutrients you need without supplementing B12 and so on. It can be deceptive because you loose weight and feel great, but over the years die hard vegans without supplements, especially woman can develop anemia, thyroid issues. Be careful, never go plant or vegan without proper planning and medical supervision. .
@@dianedevery3711 People half read reports. As exampled by your comment here. Where in my entire comment did I say to eat RED MEATS? It amazes me it seems commenters have an IQ roughly that of Tinker Bell's shoe size. Nor has complete the protein stance been debunked. Only by people who grab onto BS studies that say what they want to hear. Studies that are essentially fake news, which at the end has a link pointing to their product or eBook for the low price of $96.00. I said plant based diets are viable, but need vitamin supplements, and you have to balance proteins, and since you don't seen to have clue what that means I will explain. Beans are incomplete proteins, our bodies do not assimilate them, in a PLANNED meal they need to be paired with another protein of different properties to make a complete protein such as rice. Why because these foods each only have some of all the needed amino acids. In the 1800's a disease was devastating populations and no one knew why. Finally Identified as 'pernicious anemia', red blood cells were not being produced in the body. People were weak, sick dieing, kids were growing up sickly, one reason why mortality rates in children were extremely high. WHY? After years of research in England they discovered the people most affected by this mysterious disease were vegetarians. People who had to live off their farm produce, could not afford MEAT. Lack of an enzyme humans can only get naturally from meat. later dubbed Vitamin B12. THE CURE? LIVER! in 1926, Harvard University researchers, after years of trying different things discovered the only thing that brought these people back to producing red blood cells was eating loads of liver. In scientific research, and inventing, this is what is referred to as a "Flash of genius!" A moment of realization that points to something viable. This discovery triggered worldwide researcher to isolate the anemia-preventing substance from liver. Eventually derived an injection of concentrated enzymes discovered in the the liver. Then used the injection to treat (successfully) pernicious anemia. Then finally in 1947 a group recruited Mary Shorb, a microbiologist who isolated "cobalamin" a reddish enzyme, . Within a year the new supplement, B12 was successfully treating pernicious anemia. The summation prior to the development of vitamins we could not be healthy without MEATS. Because the only viable natural source of vitamin B12 and other nutrients, is MEATS. We cannot get it out of plants because it is manufactured in the gut of animals, and we cannot manufacture it in our own bodies. Nor can you get it by eating dirty vegetables as some morons claim. So back to my original statement. Vegans can loose weight and feel great, and have magnificent cholesterol in the first years of switching. Why? Because loosing all that extra weight takes a burden off the body. Also B12 is stored in the body, and the effects of eliminating meat without proper supplementation of B12, iodine and list of others is not felt for YEARS!! The internet is full of people, mostly women giving testimonies of how they turned vegan and felt great for over a decade, then started developing thyroid issues, and yes pernicious anemia, along with a long list of issues. SO once again for the intellectually challenged, the vegan lifestyle can be healthy, but only with proper planning, balancing of meals, and lots of expensive supplements. B12, D, zinc, iron, Long chain omega3, iodine, calcium.
@@DIDYOUSEETHAT172 By the way, I do take a B12 supp, but that's it. I was strict vegetarian for 25 years, now vegan for 25 years. Blood work is good, I am healthy, full of energy, and don't suffer fools gladly.
I have just take my blood pressureand it is 132/80 68. And now .I knew I have no potassium. Thanks I will arrange my foods to get more potassium so that my bpwill go down. God Bless.
Greetings from Tucson, Arizona. I just discovered you and anxious to learn. My blood pressure began to rise in February, 2017, and my Doctor put me on 5 mg Lisinopril. In Spring of 2018 the dose was upped to 10 mg, then 20 mg January, 2021 and 30 mg December 2022. I grew up with Julia Child and she always admonished us to, '...eat real food, enjoy what you eat and you'll be healthy..'.
Boycott all processed foods Eat lot of fruits and vegetables Walk more smile, keep stress away Sleep well If possible, then take sun shine regularly as God Sun protects us from many diseases including china's corona
Thanks 4 Sharing this most important about reducing B/P with food verses medication !! I am strongly going to follow your three food recommendations & I have already started by increasing fruit & vegetables!! Thanks again you really simplify my goals for getting off my B/P meds !! 🙏🏾
The standard BP in the UK is 140/90...so when I want to lower my bp I go there. The reason the American standard is lower is to sell more pills. Just eat healthy foods..cut out alcohol and smoking...get plenty of exercise...there is no one number for everyone...look at the whole picture not just the number
I’m 52 and my bp was 180 over 100 and it’s been this way for over 25 years. I’m now taking over 4 bp pills. I’m going to start doing these things. I can’t wait. Also potassium was very high along with cholesterol was to high as well.
Please, friend , don’t suddenly stop the meds til you’ve taken the steps to reduce your BP naturally. I’ve been tapering off meds as I’ve been bringing my BP down. Just about there! Good luck to you 🙏🏼👍🏼
I enjoyed this video so much. Such a great amount of genuine information that anyone can use right now. I copied the information for the best foods (many are my favs!) and a screen capture of the No-Fail Smoothie Guide. I will be going back to get the Double Orange Smoothie recipe; might need to get the oranges though I have all the spices. Thank you so much for sharing. I checked out the sample recipes in the "Store" link. I think I'm in love with her cookbooks, everything I saw looks incredibly delicious . I'll wait until after the Christmas rush to order them but wow, I can hardly wait. Skimming through, I see that she has not eliminated whole areas of food like no meat or no grain but rather put them all in proportion to what is truly healthy. I saw recipes for zucchini bread, pizza, and other real food along with fabulous salad and other veggie goodies that I can't wait to try. Some things (raw foods like salad) I'll have to wait until my dental work is completed but I can certainly compensate with smoothies for a while. Everything in either book is so doable. No, I'm not a shill, but I see from the sneak peeks that she will give clear guidance so you can accomplish your health goals.
Thank you for sharing and I liked it and subscribed. My problem is dealing with emotional stress. 🙃 I am dealing with this person and no matter what I do. I am wrong and I am going to have to move. It really hurts when people don't want to be nice to each other. That is what it should be all about. Encouraging and helping each other . Please pray for me. I am also taking your advice on changing my eating
Very informative video! Thank you, Zonya! ❤️❤️❤️I was 200/117 last August. Now my BP is 110s/70s. I lost a few pounds. Now I have been trying to stay on track.
Ramesh Ramesh Walk more,eat healthy Include lot of fruits and vegetables particularly spinach, banana,Beetroot, dates,Indian raisins Drink water more, Do Dhyan or meditation You may get rid of medication Jay Hind
@@RameshRamesh-zf8wvEat chick peas beans 🙏drink lots water 🙏eat less sugar eat less salt no junk foods. Fruits and vegetables 🥕 lots green vegetables 🥬. Do not eat after 7 pm. Eat oatmeal and listen to this video. No frozen foods 🙏
I just watched one of your videos a year ago about Sodium and Potassium. I had to take my mother to the emergency room because blood work showed her sodium was low (level 125). She had to be admitted to the hospital. When further blood work done it came back that still showed sodium low and potassium high. I was instructed by her doctor to add a little salt to her meals going. I also have to watch what I feed her. I have a list of low, moderate and high potassium foods. I have to call her kidney doctor to confirm the amount of potassium a day. My mother was in the hospital for four days. Please do a video on how to lower your potassium. Oh, have to mention I was putting ground flaxseeds on top or cooked in her oatmeal and also would give her beets. I was told not to give her those two items.
This was great. I have been looking for direction in changing my eating and your video helped me. Especially to create a shopping list. Glad I watched. Thank you
Zonya I just joined your course to help lower my cholesterol because I will not take meds!! I am committed to this and learning how to lower my cholesterol with my diet and clean eating!!

Here in Australia I am advised by my doctor that to take the high blood pressure medication with potassium is a no no. It is on the label of the medication. That is why I am sometimes worried if I have a banana.
My favorite dressing is , smashed garlic , the juice of one lemon olive oil and a pinch of salt it’s soo good and it goes with almost all kind of salads even the most simple one .❤️😃
I've been diagnosed with High BP and was advised to start medication, I'm already on metformin 1000m twice a day and Omeprazole, Linagliotin and levothyroxine, I think I'm taking enough medication without adding to this list. The nurse told me to cut out dairy which I hardly have anyway and I'm a vegetarian no eggs also.
I am so happy to have found you! I just went to a new doctor and when they took my blood pressure it was high! I have never had high blood pressure before. I do eat healthy but do enjoy a cocktail or two! I have a long time friend that shares a duplex with me. All he likes to eat is fried foods and maybe a salad. Also drinks giant amounts of Dr. Pepper! When I cook he eats what I cook…so he gets healthy meats and vegetables. We are both around 75 now. He is very stubborn but I will share your story about your friend. He is so lucky to be alive! Anyway you look amazing and are so up beat! Thank you for sharing your recipes etc! Look forward to seeing more of you!🤗
When I was growing up [Est Africa], my mom used to feed us beans (cooked dry beans!), sweet potatoes and fresh cow milk among other fresh foods you would call 'organic' in America. So lots of you advised, here, in your UA-cam video is the pretty much same. Awesome! Thanks for taking time to save the nation. LOL🤣
I'm in the UK. I have stopped taking my BP medication as it was affecting my bowel movements and it was not making me feel great. I have always eaten relatively healthily, cooking from fresh every night, but I do like my alcohol and have a few glasses of wine every night and am trying to cut down. I am aiming to uptake my potassium, magnesium and vitamins. Love your presentation and enthusiasm. Thanks.
@@armiebarr725 I look for no antibiotics or growth hormones, pasture raised if you can find it. 100% grass fed is next best... Even chickens should be pasture raised, as they're healthiest when their diet includes insects and such. And eggs, the same...though if you can't find pasture raised eggs, omega3 eggs are the next best thing. For fish, go with wild caught. Especially salmon, it's the one highest in omega 3s, and they are less exposed to chemicals.
Frieda;s Purple Stokes are the BEST sweet potatoes in the world! My family members that hate sweet potatoes love these. Plus, they’re a deep purple color so they’re rich in anthocyanins, a plant flavonoid shown in many studies to reduce cardiovascular disease and cancer. Try to find them at your specialty produce markets. I live in San Francisco so there’s lots of grocery stores that carry them but they won’t be at the mainstream places like Safeway, Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods.
Hi Sharon. My advice would be to stay away from salt in general. BUT, when you do add salt, use iodized. Unless you eat seaweed or a lot of fish. Get the iodine from the salt. All of those fancy salts, including sea salt, are missing iodine. No salt is good for blood pressure. It's all sodium. But if you use added salt, get your iodine. They put it in there for a reason. It's lacking in our food supply. Hope my 2 cents helps.
Great!! I learned that sweet potato has high potassium. And I learned salt added on freshly roasted sweet potato is more healthier or less salt than inside some proccessed food.
Thanks for sharing my Blood pressure has been out of control while going through menopause and not eating right much love and Blessings to you and your family 🙏❤️
Good morning I develop high blood pressure over the years I love to make berries such a blueberry strawberries raspberries. blackberry with ripe banana I also used ensure or supligen in all together is that ok
You are right! And I cover those in the 4 part course...sorry I didn't get that fit into this session. (My point is, people need to realize the vast majority of breads are high). Thank you!
@@zonyafoco8122 : Never would have thought of this either and I am a baker. When I make mine from scratch it is only 1 teaspoon for 2 loaves. Just about anything in the grocery store seems to be bad for you these days unless you pay extra for organic, grass fed, grown on a different planet, etc.
Actually it’s the processed foods that are the problem. Eating real food and exercising 30 minutes a day. Will not raise blood sugar. Lose the bread. Then eat fruits that less sweet.
The fruits recommended for increasing potassium would be a problem for people with increased BG (blood glucose) or insulin resistance. Apart from fruit, what other ways could you increase potassium?
I am in my 60s and always had very low blood pressure until I had to go in for appendix surgery. After I had my appendix out in the hospital my blood pressure went sky high I continuously asked the nurse why. Her reply was you’re in the hospital you just had surgery it’ll go back to normal. Well guess what my blood pressure never went back to normal or low I still always have one or the other top or bottom to Staloch systolic hi. Can you please tell me what caused that to happen after having my appendix removed
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve learned things I never knew before. Both my husband and I need to lose weight lower our cholesterol, he has type 2 diabetes .
I saw you on tv over 15 yrs ago. You look great. Thku so much for sharing this. My blood is hyper high I hate hbp pills. God bless you. I will share this information. 🙋🏻from Indiana. 🌺☝❤💃
Hi Elsa, was it on PBS or an event I was speaking at? Make sure you sign up for my enews at Zonya.com. Thanks for sharing.
@@Zonyafoco What about a person that's has diabetes? Also what about magnesium? Nobody talks much about magnesium. To my understanding people with diabetes are low in magnesium.
@@Zonyafoco I meant to say , wouldn't that be too much fruit for a person with diabetes.
@@Zonyafoco I'm now at the part where you mentioned magnesium.
@@Zonyafoco I use kelp for iodine. I know so many people use iodized salt and still have thyroid problems, why is that? I also use Himalayan salt and Celtic sea salt.
Two weeks ago my blood pressure was 212/128 and I was taking extra blood pressure medicines. I started walking 5 miles every day. I changed my diet completely and this morning my blood pressure is 108/67 and I am completely off of blood pressure medicines. I can teach anybody to do the same. Stop all alcohol consumption. Stop eating all foods that convert to sugar like bread, rice, and potatoes, and stop your intake of salt. Increase your intake of avocados, walnuts, pistachios, hemp seed, and a high polyphenol count olive oil, eat lots of fish that is high in omega 3 oils, and green leafy vegetables. Consume 1 teaspoon of pure cocoa daily. Also, take a high-fiber supplement that is pure like psyllium hulls. Do not over-consume water. Do not take Metamucil as it does contain psyllium hulls, however, it also contains other ingredients that are really bad for your intake. The first week you will feel bloated from the high-fiber diet, however, that will pass and the high fiber will lower your cholesterol. Another benefit you will receive is your arthritis (which is only inflammation) will go away. High blood pressure can be completely controlled by diet. I hope this helps and good luck to you. Bottom line. Lower your sugar intake, increase your fiber intake and lower your blood pressure. it's that easy!
Thank you , i have afib and iam on Eliquis and BP Metropolol.I hope i can do what you have done . ive lost weight nut looking for a good healthy diet.
@Barbara Goldfuss Get the book called "the plant paradox" by Dr. Stephen Gundry. Follow the diet in the book and all your blood pressure issues will be resolved. Good luck and God bless.
Thanks for sharing.
Blood pressure is better when is not high or low. 120/80 is good. It can go a bit up or down, I've 14 to 15 years experience now. Thanks and Remain blessed 😇.

I am 71 yrs old wt 107 lbs fairly active. I went to the doctor for dizziness. I was diagnosed of Hyperlipidemia ( hi cholesterol) my cholesterol level is 273. This was last week
I’ve been using coconut oil for cooking, and for tea in the morning and evening.
First time I saw ur channel. I will surely stick to this 3 foods that you suggest starting today. Thank you.
you are absolutely right. Taking meds just make everything worse. I tried 3 different ones! Make Food Your Medicine!
You certainly don’t hear that very much “Make Food Your Medicine”. I have been telling my self that for some time now because most Dr.s want to put you right on Meds, and never talk about Diet, Food & Exercise! I tell my self and others “ Let thy Food be your Medicine and let thy Medicine be thy Food”. I finally heard one Dr. from Cleveland Clinic say this same quote. I was pleasantly surprised and happy to hear this coming from a Dr. instead of pushing Rx .😊

I had high blood pressure; cholesterol and pre- diabetes. I eliminate extra salt, sugar and fat. I look for the list of fruits that spikes the sugar, eliminate them, I Cooke and instead of salt I use natural spices like chive, cilantro, garlic…., for the fat I canning the lean meat. Before I use that meat I scoop all the grease out and decant it. In less than 3 months all three of them went down. Now I have my garden eat and canning the rest!
you need fat, just not seed oil fat, omega 6's , olive oil, coconut oil, butter, avacados.... your brain and nerves need the good fats!!;)
First time coming across your video, searching today how to lower BP naturally. Started having BP issues June 2020 and been on meds since about September. The Lord put it on my heart to take charge of my health, so today, I purposed myself to indeed take charge of my health, get off meds, in order to experience a healthier, more productive life. Very excited to receive more knowledge and sharing your videos. God bless.
It's my first time here today..and really want to learn what I am not doing right and how to improve to.no meds..I just got prescription 2 weeks ago..took it fir only 4 days coz i think its it's a big deal for me to allow to be hooked on high blood pressure medication for life..i started exercises and hope to align right food intake.. am trusting God for total healing
Thankyou for this recipe

Thank you very much. This is encouraging. I will follow your advice to stay healthy, strong, and happy.
My mother was a dietician and she cooked, preoared all of our meals from scratch and our family has stayed healthy for over 7 decades.
She insisted on water for dinner over sweetened drinks or sodas. We never suffered obesity.

Checked my BP in a store today and it was sky high.
Scared me, I've been worried all day.

Purchase a good blood pressure monitor (With a sleeve) and check your pressure often at home. Came in handy for me several months ago. My pressure was 190 / 110 and after several tries I used a second monitor and the readings were the same. I then went to the emergency room and got checked out. After returning home, I reviewed everything I'd been consuming for the previous days until I discovered that the source of the problem was Altoids ( The curiously strong mints). I had been gorging on those mints for days. I googled the candy and learned that excessive amounts of peppermint will spike blood pressure.
Those are my favorite 😍 really wow! 😯
😮 Wow! who would think that?? thanks for the tip, I eat those often, would never of made the connection!!
wow, this is surprising, use to eat them like crazy.
I'm not sure why but the way you speak to people and help with education and your happy personality is so refreshing. Made me cry in this video, bc weight, and trying to change my lifestyle has been a struggle all my life. And I have high blood pressure too. So thanks for this video ♡♡

add a bit of black pepper to the orange smoothie for better absorption of the turmeric.

Thanks for your interesting video. Growing up in Trinidad my mother cooked dried beans/ peas every day with other things.
I always got gas with it.
Trial & error helped me to get rid of that problem.
Here is how I prepare my beans/peas.
No more gas.
1) I clean it to remove the bad ones or stones.
2) Wash in a colander in running water.
3) Soak beans/peas overnight in warm water.
4) Throw out water and wash beans/peas in colander.
Now you can cook beans/peas on the stovetop, pressure cooker, slow cooker or IP.
Season to your taste.
I would like to know if it worked for you. Bless day.
yes
8:24 List to lower blood pressure.
Thank you....a wealth of information....I only disagree with one major point and that is the fruit....as a person with hypertension and fatty liver and insulin resistant, that smoothie would bring my blood sugar soaring!! I do frozen Kale, frozen blueberries, kefir and water....it gets better each day I eat it. I miss fruit so much!! I take electrolytes too...protassium 1000 mg plus all the others. I cannot seem to eat all those vegetables as I am on OMAD...one meal a day....so I supplement with the electrolyte powder. I learned a lot in your video...thank you!
That's good you have mentioned in the Foods in Lowering High Blood Pressure it's well I eat bread but wheat and eat a lot of Salads, Chicken takes the Skin & removes it & adds Lemon gives the Favorite + Salad & Corn, Green Beans,& Hot Water & Squeeze & drink it with the Meal
God did me a favor by blessing me with Celiac Disease - I learned how to eat foods on the color spectrum wheel - my eyes improved - and began to heal me inside out.

Many thanks, I am blessed with your detailed information.

Ianthie. Good info. Not much people will offer good info. 🍋
Hibiscus 🌺 ginger garlic 🧄 helps lower blood pressure. Also what happen if you make bread without salt. Baking powder also contains salt.
Make your bread with yeast.
Salt acts as a yeast inhibitor and helps it to rise slower and keeps the yeast from eating all the sugars in the dough. Salt helps the gluten to hold more water and carbon dioxide. Salt helps bread have a stronger and tighter crumb. It will rise too fast and lead to a different texture but will also taste bland.
Am on medication for a year, ,this is my local food grown in my country PNG.. THANKYOU for that wonderful video, God has showed me a new way of life ..am facing sexual dysfunctional at themoment your advice please..thankyou and God bless you 🙏 ❤
Not a big medication person, I understand everything that you are saying. I've been on high blood pressure medication for years..it seems like if you start you can't get off. My blood pressure is under control.
Just discovered your channel this morning. I found out recently that I have high blood pressure, around 146/85. I am hoping to avoid meds if I can. One person commented that you’re taking too much time talking. She wants you to get right to the point. At first, so did I, lol. I just wanted to know which THREE foods. But, as you talked and explained about salt intake vs potassium, the variety of foods, etc. AND with your excitement and flair while teaching, I felt like a thirsty sponge, taking in all this valuable information. Knowing all the info BEFORE going to the store, before changing lifelong eating habits, will really help in putting a new and healthy ‘diet’ together. I’m excited to change my over salted, over sugared diet. I’m scared of my blood pressure getting totally out of hand. No way (unless I have no choice) do I want to take meds. It would seem so ridiculous to take meds WHILE continuing unhealthy eating, because in the end…one is going to overcome the other. Thank you Zonya, for bringing this information to us in energetic detail, making it so enjoyable to hear and learn.
Thank You Cher!
Thank ylu so much for making this enjoyable enough for me to watch ro the dnd. I have recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. I can be 160/110 0n a regular. I do not like taking meds but because it was just going up(i found out theough routine check) I was usually a low pressure case so I was totally shocked. I listened to my Dr. and started LI... Within 1 wk the side of my face started swelling along with my lips. I came off of it about a month ago ago vowed tht I wont go on anything else. Thank u so much for this video. Im only 53 yrs old!
I’m there with you! Congratulations 🎉
Must have been Lisinopril.
I love the way you explain things. Thank you! don't eat fruits every day. I just eat bananas, apples and grapes but I love vegetables, I take veges 3 times a day, kale, spinich, broccli and sweet potato. I am also taking coconut water.and hisbiscus tea, coconut water also has more that 300 grams of potassium per container.
Thanks for sharing!!
I add ½ a banana to my smoothie every morning just for the sweetness factor. The potsssium comes naturally when we eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables every day.

Today is October 20, 2021 so I am seeing this several months after you recorded this podcast/video. It's waaaay past attending your program. Although I saved this presentation, I'm interested in buying the two books on the counter. I would like to memorize the entire video because I learned so much just listening. I want to learn more. Here's some stats on me: I was 5' 1" and I'm down to 4' 11". I'm only 67. Most recent Dr. appointment was yesterday. BP was 130/80. Weight was 285!!!!!
I "accidentally" stumbled onto your podcast and I firmly believe that God works in mysterious ways. I had already decided that today would be the first day of the rest of my life! Then I found you. I don't like sweet potatoes and have never tried avocados but I am more than ready to step out of my comfort zone. HELP!!
Hi Lou, make sure you click the bell for more episodes. We are going to start doing videos weekly.
Don't give up, just do it. I'm on the same journey as you, it's taken me 8 weeks, to lose 11 pounds, but i WILL keep doing my best to get healthy. Last Doctor visit was a shocker as well as an eye opener. My BP was 187/92 and my weight was 187, BP and weigh the same. I'm only 5 feet. Wishing you well on your journey.
I’m watching for the first time . I’ve been diagnosed with BP 160 /90 in 2014, taking 2/12 mg of Ramipril from my dr. In Germany. Now in The US my dr has changed my meds so many time . I’m taking now 4 different meds for my BP . I urgently need to get out of my med. please help me .

Does it really make a difference what kind of salt to use such as iodized salt to add iodine or sea salt, kosher salt, Himalayan salt? Very important question for many to know the answer!!! Please address this question! Thank you!💖
I love this video . The instructor is not fast talking , she is thorough. I was always conscience of my sodium intake ,but never thought bread had that much sodium. I’m also happy to learn about potassium and it’s affect on blood pressure . Thanks so much !
Hi Anne, thanks so much for your kind words. Best of luck to you!

Super!
Thanks for your vidio. Im on medication for high blood pressure, I am scared to death.I will take your advice. I have given up salt,sugar and im eating plenty of fruit,nuts,fish and veg.I feel much better.
I went plant based over a year ago . I have to say it’s the best thing ever! ❤️
Can you give before and after numbers
If its done correctly. Vegan, plant based need supplements especially B12, Iron, iodine, D3 and you need to balance proteins. Plant based proteins are not complete and need to be combined to become complete for absorption. You can develop many health issues in the long run, if you do not supplement and plan your daily meals. You need to start taking regular blood tests after a year or two, to see if you are missing key nutrients. Vegan, plant based diets are considered radical diets in the medical circles because you can not get all the nutrients you need without supplementing B12 and so on. It can be deceptive because you loose weight and feel great, but over the years die hard vegans without supplements, especially woman can develop anemia, thyroid issues. Be careful, never go plant or vegan without proper planning and medical supervision. .
@@DIDYOUSEETHAT172 The complete protein stance has been debunked.
@@dianedevery3711 People half read reports. As exampled by your comment here. Where in my entire comment did I say to eat RED MEATS? It amazes me it seems commenters have an IQ roughly that of Tinker Bell's shoe size. Nor has complete the protein stance been debunked. Only by people who grab onto BS studies that say what they want to hear. Studies that are essentially fake news, which at the end has a link pointing to their product or eBook for the low price of $96.00.
I said plant based diets are viable, but need vitamin supplements, and you have to balance proteins, and since you don't seen to have clue what that means I will explain. Beans are incomplete proteins, our bodies do not assimilate them, in a PLANNED meal they need to be paired with another protein of different properties to make a complete protein such as rice. Why because these foods each only have some of all the needed amino acids.
In the 1800's a disease was devastating populations and no one knew why. Finally Identified as 'pernicious anemia', red blood cells were not being produced in the body. People were weak, sick dieing, kids were growing up sickly, one reason why mortality rates in children were extremely high.
WHY? After years of research in England they discovered the people most affected by this mysterious disease were vegetarians. People who had to live off their farm produce, could not afford MEAT. Lack of an enzyme humans can only get naturally from meat. later dubbed Vitamin B12.
THE CURE? LIVER! in 1926, Harvard University researchers, after years of trying different things discovered the only thing that brought these people back to producing red blood cells was eating loads of liver.
In scientific research, and inventing, this is what is referred to as a "Flash of genius!" A moment of realization that points to something viable. This discovery triggered worldwide researcher to isolate the anemia-preventing substance from liver. Eventually derived an injection of concentrated enzymes discovered in the the liver. Then used the injection to treat (successfully) pernicious anemia. Then finally in 1947 a group recruited Mary Shorb, a microbiologist who isolated "cobalamin" a reddish enzyme, .
Within a year the new supplement, B12 was successfully treating pernicious anemia.
The summation prior to the development of vitamins we could not be healthy without MEATS. Because the only viable natural source of vitamin B12 and other nutrients, is MEATS. We cannot get it out of plants because it is manufactured in the gut of animals, and we cannot manufacture it in our own bodies. Nor can you get it by eating dirty vegetables as some morons claim.
So back to my original statement. Vegans can loose weight and feel great, and have magnificent cholesterol in the first years of switching. Why? Because loosing all that extra weight takes a burden off the body. Also B12 is stored in the body, and the effects of eliminating meat without proper supplementation of B12, iodine and list of others is not felt for YEARS!!
The internet is full of people, mostly women giving testimonies of how they turned vegan and felt great for over a decade, then started developing thyroid issues, and yes pernicious anemia, along with a long list of issues.
SO once again for the intellectually challenged, the vegan lifestyle can be healthy, but only with proper planning, balancing of meals, and lots of expensive supplements. B12, D, zinc, iron, Long chain omega3, iodine, calcium.
@@DIDYOUSEETHAT172 By the way, I do take a B12 supp, but that's it. I was strict vegetarian for 25 years, now vegan for 25 years. Blood work is good, I am healthy, full of energy, and don't suffer fools gladly.
I have just take my blood pressureand it is 132/80 68.

I checked out the sample recipes in the "Store" link. I think I'm in love with her cookbooks, everything I saw looks incredibly delicious . I'll wait until after the Christmas rush to order them but wow, I can hardly wait. Skimming through, I see that she has not eliminated whole areas of food like no meat or no grain but rather put them all in proportion to what is truly healthy. I saw recipes for zucchini bread, pizza, and other real food along with fabulous salad and other veggie goodies that I can't wait to try. Some things (raw foods like salad) I'll have to wait until my dental work is completed but I can certainly compensate with smoothies for a while. Everything in either book is so doable. No, I'm not a shill, but I see from the sneak peeks that she will give clear guidance so you can accomplish your health goals.

I just watched one of your videos a year ago about Sodium and Potassium. I had to take my mother to the emergency room because blood work showed her sodium was low (level 125). She had to be admitted to the hospital. When further blood work done it came back that still showed sodium low and potassium high. I was instructed by her doctor to add a little salt to her meals going. I also have to watch what I feed her. I have a list of low, moderate and high potassium foods. I have to call her kidney doctor to confirm the amount of potassium a day. My mother was in the hospital for four days. Please do a video on how to lower your potassium. Oh, have to mention I was putting ground flaxseeds on top or cooked in her oatmeal and also would give her beets. I was told not to give her those two items.
So the flax & beets were high in potassium?! Or why could she have them ?
This was great. I have been looking for direction in changing my eating and your video helped me. Especially to create a shopping list. Glad I watched. Thank you

When I cook he eats what I cook…so he gets healthy meats and vegetables. We are both around 75 now. He is very stubborn but I will share your story about your friend. He is so lucky to be alive! Anyway you look amazing and are so up beat! Thank you for sharing your recipes etc! Look forward to seeing more of you!🤗
Thank you so much for this. I need to get my blood pressure under control. Going to try the smoothie today 😋
I am new to this health stuff but thanks to you i am health conscious now. Will apply a lot of your info. Thank you 🙏 so much.
When I was growing up [Est Africa], my mom used to feed us beans (cooked dry beans!), sweet potatoes and fresh cow milk among other fresh foods you would call 'organic' in America. So lots of you advised, here, in your UA-cam video is the pretty much same. Awesome!
Thanks for taking time to save the nation. LOL🤣

You're so welcome Tristan! Thank you for watching!
I'm in the UK. I have stopped taking my BP medication as it was affecting my bowel movements and it was not making me feel great. I have always eaten relatively healthily, cooking from fresh every night, but I do like my alcohol and have a few glasses of wine every night and am trying to cut down. I am aiming to uptake my potassium, magnesium and vitamins. Love your presentation and enthusiasm. Thanks.
Do you know that most wine have sulfites which isn’t good for you, in fact I get very bad migraines from drinking or ingesting that.
What meat is healthy to eat?
@@armiebarr725 chicken
@@armiebarr725 I look for no antibiotics or growth hormones, pasture raised if you can find it. 100% grass fed is next best... Even chickens should be pasture raised, as they're healthiest when their diet includes insects and such. And eggs, the same...though if you can't find pasture raised eggs, omega3 eggs are the next best thing.
For fish, go with wild caught. Especially salmon, it's the one highest in omega 3s, and they are less exposed to chemicals.
My Niece sent me this post find it to be great info that I can use since I’m on BP med. Thank you.
Frieda;s Purple Stokes are the BEST sweet potatoes in the world! My family members that hate sweet potatoes love these. Plus, they’re a deep purple color so they’re rich in anthocyanins, a plant flavonoid shown in many studies to reduce cardiovascular disease and cancer. Try to find them at your specialty produce markets. I live in San Francisco so there’s lots of grocery stores that carry them but they won’t be at the mainstream places like Safeway, Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods.
Is it true that Himalayan pink salt has more minerals and is better for blood pressure than ionized salt?
Hi Sharon. My advice would be to stay away from salt in general. BUT, when you do add salt, use iodized. Unless you eat seaweed or a lot of fish. Get the iodine from the salt. All of those fancy salts, including sea salt, are missing iodine. No salt is good for blood pressure. It's all sodium. But if you use added salt, get your iodine. They put it in there for a reason. It's lacking in our food supply. Hope my 2 cents helps.
Thanks for sharing the video it's very useful and informative 👍🏾 God bless you 🙏 🙏 👏
Great!! I learned that sweet potato has high potassium. And I learned salt added on freshly roasted sweet potato is more healthier or less salt than inside some proccessed food.
This is very informative thank you for sharing
Thanks for sharing my Blood pressure has been out of control while going through menopause and not eating right much love and Blessings to you and your family 🙏❤️

This is not only power packed food wise ,but also information wise. I learned an enormous amount. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for all the information.
Good morning I develop high blood pressure over the years I love to make berries such a blueberry strawberries raspberries. blackberry with ripe banana I also used ensure or supligen in all together is that ok
There are breads like Ezekiel, which have little or no sodium, please inform yourself of these. Thanks.
You are right! And I cover those in the 4 part course...sorry I didn't get that fit into this session. (My point is, people need to realize the vast majority of breads are high). Thank you!
@@zonyafoco8122 : Never would have thought of this either and I am a baker. When I make mine from scratch it is only 1 teaspoon for 2 loaves. Just about anything in the grocery store seems to be bad for you these days unless you pay extra for organic, grass fed, grown on a different planet, etc.
I can't eat much food at all. I'll try. It's beautiful food. So my doc says I need to eat more food. But the right food. So you have inspired me.
Thankyou but some foods like bananas, mangoes, pineapples and watermelon are not good for diabetics due to high GI
Actually it’s the processed foods that are the problem. Eating real food and exercising 30 minutes a day. Will not raise blood sugar. Lose the bread. Then eat fruits that less sweet.
The fruits recommended for increasing potassium would be a problem for people with increased BG (blood glucose) or insulin resistance. Apart from fruit, what other ways could you increase potassium?
Good Grief WHEN do you GET to the FOODS...
I am in my 60s and always had very low blood pressure until I had to go in for appendix surgery. After I had my appendix out in the hospital my blood pressure went sky high I continuously asked the nurse why. Her reply was you’re in the hospital you just had surgery it’ll go back to normal. Well guess what my blood pressure never went back to normal or low I still always have one or the other top or bottom to Staloch systolic hi. Can you please tell me what caused that to happen after having my appendix removed
