Just found your site today. Love it! Liked and subscribed. I love the little bit of humor added to the great info. Will be watching and learning from you in the future. Very thorough info answered my questions about alternatives to lower BP. Also appreciated how you mentioned daily serving amounts in some of them.
I love your videos! I am an unsuccessful post total knee replacement & would’ve enjoyed having you as my surgeon! Keep up the good work!
Sorry to hear that Jamie. Hope it gets better. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Instead of a typical 'orthopod'... ;-)
Think twice about that......the one my husband had from Dr. Zalzal was not effective. There are no guarantees !
I like the new beginning to your videos. I love learning from your videos.
Thanks Judith. Figured we would spice it up a little 😀. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Thanks doc for the confirmation of the potential of all those foods .keep
Up the good work !
Thanks so much Francis. Thanks for watching and subscribing

Thank you for all the good information!
Very welcome Betty. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Thank you for the great information. Try to stay away from Instant Oatmeal as the oats are refined and it contains a lot of sugar. If you have the time make a batch of regular oatmeal and it will keep for a few days in the fridge. You can add cinnamon, nutmeg, walnuts, almonds, ground flaxseed, some dried fruit like cranberries. I add a few dashes of turmeric. You can place the mixture in an 8x8” pan and cut off squares for breakfast. Warm up in microwave for about 2 min. Very easy and tasty❤️
Sounds great Isabel. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I'm struggling with high blood pressure
I'm worried I'm unemployed I can😢 afford to buy some of the mentioned goods but I'm happy to hear about garlic, beetroot and flexseed
It's my first time seeing you Docs God bless you 🎉
I am in love with these two docs. 😍
That is sweet Kathy. Thanks for watching and subscribing

Very welcome Penka. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Another terrific treat,docs! Always so very informative and entertaining. Only trouble is most of what you talk about, I’ve either got it … or had it. For goodness sake, please don’t discuss autopsies…. Or else I’m a goner!🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒 love you guys💜💜
Know what? My mom told me I was in charge of her pre-paid funeral. I called Dartmouth to see what the future held, it's to simply to I.d. her scrawny bod pre-cremation as no mistake law entails! Past that job onto another relative, oh yes you can, why not, never did meet the guy whom she's to be buried with and that's a heck of a way for his 1st wife to be meeting my mom!
Why thank you Kathleen. Thanks for watching and subscribing

You two are like the spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down. Great info. Thank you so much.
That is very “sweet” to say. Thanks. And thanks for watching and subscribing

Ground flax seed with applesauce- no sugar added…works well👍🏻😻
LOL Perfect

Glad we could help! Thanks for watching and subscribing
Very good choices thanks!
We thought so Odila. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Thank you doctor.
Wonderful info.
I was surprised that you didn't mention avocados which are also high in Omega 3.😊
Thank you two for the great video. Some fantastic information..I will definitely be trying the things you guys mentioned..also have heard and read..that hibiscus tea also works for high blood pressure..and lowers blood sugar levels too.. again much thanks for your help 😃👍💯❤️
Very welcome
You guys are hilarious! If all docs were like this, then people would look forward to coming to the doctor's office for checkups.
We are doing our best MilitaryTVgirl. Very kind. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Yes. They have great personalities and I agree if only dr.'s were more down to earth and accessible like these two, more people would go.
Thanks so much! Have been on BP meds for 6 years and my potassium has dropped. I am allergic to bananas so I am grateful for all the alternatives you gave today! My favs: oatmeal with cinnamon, pumpkin in anything and broccoli. Never had a sweet potato so will give them a try! Have a great week and stay safe!❤️🩺🥼
Never had a sweet potato? Well the ends are the best! They take a while though, plan a good hr in the toaster oven and pierce to see! We now cook prior to BBQ'ing 'cause how late am I expected to friggin dine anyway? Pls eat the skin, very healthy!
@@joseenoel8093 Thanks Josee! Nope, they weren’t in the stores when I was young and we never grew them in the garden. I will have to try them now for sure!
Enjoy Louise! Thanks for watching and subscribing
Nice Josee. Or the air fryer. Thanks for watching and subscribing

Just found your channel, and Subscribing. This year is a test to get my blood work good. I saw a big change in triglycerides by taking 4,000 mg of fish oil daily. I did other things and trying to adjust to the Mediterranean Diet lifestyle. My weakness is sweets junk. I'm waiting on several more blood work test to show before and after video with what works for me. My triglycerides February 2022 was 459 and I dropped them in two months to recommended save level. I am waiting to see if I can keep my levels good.
Nice work David. The sweets are tough. Best of luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Excellent list and the kale may be a bit of a challenge but the rest all AOK. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!

Hello my name is Nada. Very good information on lowering B/P. Thank you so much for sharing.
You are very welcome Nada. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Such very important information in this one for everyone. Many thanks. I don't think I've seen Dr Weening smile so much rhyming off all those vegetables LOL.
Thanks for sharing.
Ha BW. Yes it makes Dr Weening very happy. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I'm pretty new to this. Sweet potatoes, my first year trying to do this, the article said you should be able to get 100 sweet potatoes from one sweet potatoes. Swert potatoes are from the morning glory family. Just thought I'd put this in, you are all so supportive to each other, it's like a breath of fresh air. Hope this helps
Wow. I wish I can remember high school. Boy u two got good memories. Anyways, Dr. Z when I was pregnant with my daughter Rachael, I had such a craving for watermelon and dill pickles. Honestly, I would eat a watermelon a day and a jar of pickles every second day. Great great info Docs. Thxs for the valuable info. ❤️🤗🇨🇦
Very welcome Mandy. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Great advice.!
Glad you liked it Odila. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Love you guys and thanks for all the wonderful information. Huggs
Thanks theresa. Thanks for watching and subscribing
You just described my diet…good to know that I’m on the right path! Which number in the blood pressure reading is more important to keep low…systolic or diastolic?
They are actually both important Leila. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I ate all those foods and died because I had no blood pressure ! You guys are great - thank you from the uk and the heart of my bottom
So very welcome Stewart!
Bahahahahaha!! 🤣
You guys make me want to go to the grocery store! I have seriously high BP 180’s over 100’s. On 125 mg Losartan and 25 mg hyrdrochlorothorazide. Have serious white coat syndrome and as a result have been turned away for medical procedures
Ok let’s see what the food can do james. You woukd be surprised. Best of luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Thank you! 😍
Very welcome Jennifer. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Love your channel!
Thank you so much!
I believe the Oatmeal helps for sure. For years every morning I have a cup of Oatmeal with Honey and Cinnamon Average cholesterol averages 150 has been as low as 117 when I worked on it other ways. I use the magnesium but the potassium got to the point the level got to high. I started the thistle seed and beet addition after the last video. If it has a recordable affect i'll post it.
Does anyone remember the Netflix "Highlander" series? The poor king 👑 can't do his crowd pleasing crap and he's dying, our hero says "Have some oatmeal" but the king says that for poor people! Yogurt and oatmeal makes a nice light facial scrub!
Awesome Julian. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Nice Josee. Thanks for watching and subscribing
GREAT video! Thank you for this information. I'm surprised pomegranate juice didn't make the list.
It’s a good one though
Thank you so much, we could do with a few doctor ' s like you to cheer the people up, its worth putting you on just for the hummer, God Bless you always❤❤😂😂
Thanks Frances!
Well done!
Watch out for licorice. Yes, even DGL. Personal experience talking here. Lucky to catch it early.
Wow

Thanks, yum yum, so many of my favorites! 🤤 😋🤸🏼
Very welcome Michele. Thanks for watching and subscribing

Giraffes also have valves in their carotid arteries that help fight against gravity or so I’ve heard. Great info gents thanks!!
Nice Steve. Thanks for watching and subscribing
This is helpful.
Watching your videos has been proven (though not double-blind) to reduce my blood pressure. 😂 Have a great week!
Yes Laura. We are stress reducers! Thanks for watching and subscribing
I bought myself a sphygmo from the chemist - it's actually a bit of fun to measure your blood pressure once a month. Still grating beets on my greens too. PS trust a medic to say ingest instead of eat lol Great vid guys!
Glad you liked it Alison. Thanks for watching and subscribing
It's so nice to see Dr. Zalzal laugh and joke around. He used to be so serious. Is it beets or beet juice.
Ha dapper dog. Thanks for watching and subscribing
You docs are amazingly sweet that makes the medicine go down! 😂 you guys crack me up 😂 great sense of humour!
Thanks so much Alida. Thanks for watching and subscribing

Cheers Kym
Adelaide
Yes they do Kym! Very welcome. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Another winner vid! Whew, glad to hear some food mentions that I actually enjoy! 👋 Definitely putting watermelon on my top list. Yummiez! 🍉 I like garlic, but not hugely crazy about it. 🧛♀️😁 Was hoping the wings/sauce mentioned in the previous vid would round up the 20, guess not. ☹ Pizza also doesn't help? 🙃 Kidding.... Anyway, some good info & definitely a top of mind vid of what foods to consume to help tame that pressure. Thanks again, docs!
Very welcome jag. Thanks for watching and subscribing

Some nice plain Greek yogurt, put some cacao powder (not cocoa), little stevia and mix!! Delish🤗probably could put some cinnamon in there😊
CACAO is a best source for antioxidants, iron, fiber and magnesium.
Yes Krystyna. Nice little snack. Thanks for watching and subscribing
In NZ and Australia we eat pumpkin all year round. Baked with sweet potatoes, in NZ called kumera. Kumera was grown as a staple food pre-dating European arrival.
Nice Winnie. Thanks for watching and subscribing
What a wonderful video!! 👍
I've made a list of these items that can help lower blood pressure. And there are only a couple that I don't care for.
I think a pumpkin oatmeal bake with walnuts will be the first recipe I'll make. I might even add some berries.
You've really given us some food for thought. 😉
I was so excited that my blood sugar was 95 this morning but then I remembered you were giving a list of things to help blood pressure. 🤦
This is a great list to help people take control of their blood pressure!
As always, you made this entertaining and very informative! I always smile, if not laugh out loud, and I always learn something from you! You two are the best! 😘
Thanks for sharing another great video!
Walnuts are good brain food too, idk if that's a gimmick cause it looks like brain but apparently..
I think it's walnut oil which helps what ails you....
Thanks so much Vickie glad we can help. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Nice observation Josee. Thanks for watching and subscribing
lol. You guys are so smart and funny. Thank you for the list of foods. I just happen to be sitting here eating some homemade pumpkin muffins with lots of cinnamon in them so I'm glad to see pumpkin and cinnamon on the list. Not sure, but I've heard that celery also can help lower blood pressure. I understand that kale and spinach are great, but I prefer Romaine lettuce. I wonder if that has comparable health benefits.
Hi Words so the main benefit from celery is the fiber. Kale and spinach we would say are superior to Romaine but any leafy green is good. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs Ok, cool. Great to know that. Thx!
Thanks for another helpful video. Does it matter which type of cinnamon you use? I have read that Ceylon cinnamon is healthier but I don’t know if this is actually the case.
Hard to say but yes we have read that too. Probably any is better than none. Thanks for watching and subscribing
You guys, i.e., doc's cracked me up! LOL!
Great, great video content! Thanks.
Glad to hear it Bill. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Wow. Doctors that know about healthy foods.
We do! Thanks for watching and subscribing
Great info! Love watermelon, berries, pumpkin scones, pie! lol. Melons! Love summer fruits/veggies 😊
I'm not a fan of water melon, I hope that doesn't make me racist, kidding!
lol. I find it refreshing on a warm day. And I get dehydrated really easy, so all the different melons are great to help with hydration. I hate those salty sports drinks. They’re disgusting. So far only been dehydrated bad enough to end up in ER and on a few bags of IV fluids. 🤢
😄😄I don't think they were advocating scones and pie.....
Yes Cathy! Thanks for watching and subscribing
I did a search and couldn't find any videos on collagen. Can you do one? Thanks!
We can add it to the list Skippy. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Mackerel has more than twice the Omega-3 of salmon, so I would definitely add it to your list.
I eat Kimchee and sourkraut all the time. can't eat walnuts, great ideas thanks Docs.
Good work on the fermented foods. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Excellent must be good fun in social setting thanks from UK
Hi Francis. We enjoy a good time for sure. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Hi Docs. New subscriber here but my wife has followed you for a while. Just wondering if flax oil is as good as flax seed for helping reduce high blood pressure? You guys are awesome. Thanks.
Hi David. There are less studies on the oil and we would argue too much oil is never good for you so woukd stick with the ground flaxseed. Welcome aboard!
Suggestions for using a sufficient amount of cinnamon to be helpful. Without sugar for the diabetics. It is a strong taste.
Yes. And it tastes so good!
Dr. Weening reminds me of the character in Lost and I believe he worked in a hospital too.
A few people have said that he reminded them of Jack.
I have a peptic ulcer and many foods aggravate my stomach including bananas, sweet potatoes, garlic and olive oil 😟
I'm trying the beetroot and flax seeds at the moment though 👍🏻🤗
Fasting and drinking a big glass of freshly pressed mixed Citrusfruit-juice daily, with Grapefruit, Lemon and Orange, had my BP go down drastically from 160/90 to 115/65, and my pulse went up from 45 to 60 bpm!!! It happened very quickly as well from one day to the next! I was so surprised so I thought something was wrong with my BP- meters!? ... but I have 3 BP-meters (Omron, Braun, Beurer) and they all showed lower BP. I even bought another BP meter just to be sure, and yes my bloodpressure is way down! Some days my BP is even as low as 100/60! I have tried to not drink Citrus juice for some days and the low BP still continues. I´ve now been fasting and drinking Citrus juice for over 1 month, Another 10 days and I will finish fasting and go into the keto diet. I have lost weight from 87 kg to 80 kg so far. I know that most doctors wants you to take BP lowering medications instead, and often warns you from drinking Grapefruit juice as they know it works even better to lower BP than medics, because then the medical companies wont make that much money! A periodic fasting now and then with Citrus-juice cleans out the arteries and keeps your BP low!
