@@vblacka4117 Definitely. I might treat myself once a month with ribs or Popeyes but I follow up with lots of water and veggies. We all know from our body's reactions when we've overindulged
the list assumes people are mindlessly eating breakfast/lunch/dinner + snack and popular unhealthy habits. no. 5/6/7 minus sugar based items can actually be part of healthy keto and intermittent fasting (1 to 2 meals) with nutrient dense greens. the meat quality should be grass fed or organic if possible and controlled portions. eating less to improve healthy through intermittent fasting is free/natural and cost/time effective way to improve overall health. excercise/sleep quality and stress management and self improvement focus is essential too for wholistic improvement. chasing isolated canned and food items sounds good but an integrated effort to learn how focus on adjustments for health must be the focus and the by product of that is balanced blood pressure and more. for example, eating too much processed carbs and sugar is more lethal than all these items. the invisible combined detrimental effect of insulin resistance disregulated sleep is elusive. be humble and fearless to put these tips together and more to become a champion of your health. that is the bottom line. the journey is tailor made for each individual. do the needful and be consistent....the results will come!
Let me start by saying just watching your video lowered my blood pressure, i am a dad to a 3 year old daughter she is the biggest motivation for me to stay healthy iam a truck driver by profession so alot of seat time watching your video helped me alot thank you God bless you
Hi Dr. Frita, I dropped my weight from 265 lbs to 235 lbs since July of last year. I underwent shoulder replacement surgery and began eating bagged salads and found my BP spiked in spite of being on Bystolic. When I read the sodium content of say a Cesar Salad, I was blown away by how much sodium it contained in the dressing/croutons. Then I was adding some chopped anchovies for taste. Needless to say, I’m done with that behavior. Thank you so very much for your videos. I have two grand babies whom I absolutely adore and would like to be around for them.
You’ll drop amazing weight if on the first plate nothing but vegetables and the second plate what ever you want you’ll be holding one hand on your pants to keep them up haha
Any salad anywhere you go the dressing and the crackers should be avoided. You can add a bit of olive oil or may be a tea spoon of honey but that's it.
It's hard to know what you can eat and how much with salt content being in almost everything. You would need to carry the info with you. And if you eat for lunch in a deli ..FORGEDABOWDIT.... I don't see how you could stay below 1500mg
As an 82 yr old, I've never watched salt (always had low blood pressure) now a candidate for kidney disease, I must drastically change my diet. Thanks, Dr. Frita, you are so thorough.
Try nattokinase, or natto You could get nattokinase from health food stores Natto..is a little like chitterlings, but not quite as bad (fermented soybeans) With texture as okra...best with 🥢 chopsticks 🤗
Dr. Frita. Thank you - I have been trying to tell my husband everything you have delivered in a nutshell. After seeing a cardiologist and he pointed out that cheese was his downfall. You have filled in the blanks. He loved it when you said one corn dog are you kidding yourself. You can't stop at two. We bought your book and believe it should be in every cardiologist's office. He is going to share his with a young friend who has high blood pressure. Now we just have to stop the cooking shows from telling everyone you have to salt every addition and layer as you cook. I make homemade pumpernickel bread and white bread and only use a quarter tsp of salt for 1 loaf. You have saved my husband from a massive stroke and perhaps even a widow maker. We love you and your common sense that seems to be lacking from most people today.
Patricia Dickinson *SAME! I've been trying to get my husband to be more serious about his health. I don't use salt unless absolutely necessary. I don't have a salt shaker anywhere that he can grab it. I grow our vegetables and can them. I only use a minimal amount that is absolutely necessary to can what I've grown. We only eat chicken and Salmon. I also love Dr. Frita and will purchase her 📚 book.
Thank you! I suffered from hypertension since 2014 I take two meds to keep it under control. My oldest brother had a stroke and I’m not trying to end up like him. Thanks for this video. I avoid cans food a lot and slowed down in drinking as well. How about drinking red wine?
Yes I did all you said and plus on watermelons only for 3 days and walked for a half hour everyday my pressure came down fast. Staying on this diet is best. Be blessed
My blood pressure has actually improved since I've been cooking my own meats and eating a diet of 50% protein and 50% produce. Zero carbs. For 2 years in a row my doctor has complimented me on the markers on my lab work.
@@gracemorton3405 yes, you're right. It's been low carb, not zero carb because I tried 100% carnivore which works great but was challenging for me to stick to.
I retired 2 months ago. Eliminating the stress of the job, and eliminating the sugary snacks, caused my blood pressure to drop. Apple cider vinegar and green tea also helped.
In almost everything. Dressing, i the water when you boil rice, pasta, in meat when you do hamburger or a spoon full in a hlass of water with some lemon.
Well said & done Doc. I'm a 76 year old Logger and wild land firefighter who has had high BP all my life. We 'ARE' what we eat , drink and think. Great presentation. Cheers & Hugs from Montana. XX
The lesson learned here is this. If you have high bold pressure, DO NOT EAT ANYTHING. Maybe just a small glass of water everyday. But here is the thing. Grandma diagnosed with high blood pressure at age 55, numbers run between 150 and 180. She eats anything, loves Popeyes fried chicken. When she cooks, I can’t eat her cooking because it’s too salty. She’s turning 87 next year.
She may be 85, but is she taking every kind of medication that's been invented??? The way folk cooked back in the day, it is no wonder their health was/is so bad. I just recently married, my husband shakes salt like crazy after I cook because he's used to his aunt's and mother's cooking, who uses too much salt and sugar, both have health issues through the roof, can hardly walk, both have bags of medication, frequent doctors appointments, and meriads of complaints. I'm 60, I take no medication for anything. Yes I do watch my sodium and sugar intake. I eat to live, not live to eat, sugar and salt means nothing to me. As a matter of fact I detest salt shaking. I don't buy salt/haven't bought salt, don't intend to buy salt. Why do I need to when EVERYTHING else I buy ALREADY has salt in it? I love me, my body is the Temple of the HOLY SPIRIT, and God's temple shouldn't be propped up by all kinds of medication, and complaints. If when it comes to life, we'd start letting the Holy Spirit do what He was sent to do - Lead, Guide, and Direct. Folk so ignore God, Jesus, and the HOLY SPIRIT as though they as the Trinity is a plague. When will folk began to look at Jesus and the benefits of that? I so enjoy my relationship with Jesus Christ, and the interaction that experience with the HOLY SPIRIT literally blows my mind. Oprah's or Tyler's money put together can't top that with me. Give me my relationship with Jesus, that's what's most important to me. That's my health, my peace, my mental stability, and my financial security - my relationship with Jesus Christ can't be duplicated.
I had a doctors visit this morning. On my way there. Your video popped up. I learned so much as to why my blood pressure is elevated in the first minutes of your program. Thank you so much🫶🏽! I’m Looking to do much better🙏🏽
Bacon & doritos or ruffles or tortillas are my downfall. I have stage 3 ckd with 1 kidney due to rcc. My left was removed along with my adrenal. I do limit my intake of chips to a small single serve about once a week of only 1 of them. But my bacon addiction is a real thing. 😩 I also have hashi., fibro., & lupus, along with several injuries from a fall I took several years ago that have contributed to weight gain. I thank you for this eye opener, and will try my best to do better. I may make myself a chart for my phone to log my progress. Again thank you.
Thanks Dr Frita for this top notch presentation.I started avoiding or reducing these stuff when I was having some kidney problems. It just did the magic for me. When you watch your diet strictly and carefully, you are not only going to control your blood pressure but also the following: 1. Kidney problems 2. Liver problems 3. Diabetes 4.Cholesterol related diseases. In addition to what Dr Frita said, please let us avoid the following: 1.Too chilled water 2. Carbonated drinks 3. Energy drinks (Caffeine ) 4.All processed SPICES LET OUR FOOD BE OUR MEDICINE!!
Uh oh! I probably drink too much coffee (caffeine), but not much soda (10 oz cans, no more than 1/day...at most), and is there such a thing as TOO MUCH WATER? My Auntie (a retired RN) issued a warning about that. Any help will be appreciated.
Hi Dr Fritta I'm a person with high blood pressure and yes I do eat bacon every now and then! But before I cook it in my air fryer I soak my bacon in a container with water and vinegar I can see a lot of Sodium and fat floating on top of the water. It still taste good but not as Salty I soak it for about 5 to 10 minutes.
If I ate just one it that bag of chips, bottle of pickles, package of deli meat, etc would last way too long. I'm trying to finish it so it doesn't go bad and here I am doing harm to my blood pressure/body.
Good day Good morning good afternoon, first time watching your video on Saturday and to day is Tuesday 3/21/23 on Friday 18th I went to the dentist to have my brige done the doctor say blood pressure is too high 190 , I told the doctor I ate soup with a lot of salt and I had jerk chicken am Jamaican we used alot of spices in our food we are not educated , but watching your video am down to 138/80 its a great blessing from God to watching your video, God work through you on this day thank you may God bless you and family.
Thank you for being informative about how to adjust your diet to help combat HBP. The first thing doctors nowadays run to is medicating you instead of suggesting a better meal plan/diet for starting the process of lowering your BP. Thank you for all you do 💛💛
Dr. Frida makes me laugh with her delivery, but she is soooo right! I cheated here and there with food last week and my blood pressure is still gradually coming down from being frighteningly high. I Learned I cannot mess around.
I am a new subscriber! I was diagnosed with HBP with my 3rd child. When my 4th came, I had to be induced because my blood pressure was high. After delivery, I ended back in the hospital with stats that read 200/115 or something crazy like that but stroke level high. I was told when I lost weight I could be off meds. Well, I lost the weight. Went from a size 2XL to 4. I am now a size 7/8. Doctor told me I would NEVER be off meds. I am trying to remove bad eating habits with healthy. Your video was my reminder of what to avoid. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of foods to avoid with you have HBP.
You absolutely can get off of your meds! Anything white, especially SUGAR, causes high blood pressure as well. Hyperinsulinemia is the root cause of most health issues we have. Please introduce your babies to a healthy lifestyle while they are young. Begin eliminating anything white from your diet to include: flour products, rice, pasta, potatoes, salt and sugar. Also, limit starchy foods such as beans and corn. I don’t know how much water you drink, but water is a natural blood pressure regulator. Find you a holistic practitioner if your doctor does not want to work with you. It is an absolute lie that you have to be on medication for the rest of your life. Look into a whole food plant based diet and eat your fruits and vegetables uncooked or lightly steamed. Please keep us posted on your journey and thank you for sharing your experience.
Awesome. Thank you for this video on items to stay away from or limit for high blood pressure. I do have high blood pressure controlled by one medicine for quite a while - Metoprolol 50mg. But I didn't pay attention to what I ate. I started myself now on a mix of Keto low carb and non red meats which I started March 2022. So, watching what I eat more now, and my weight is coming down. Started at 206 pounds in March and now down to 189 pounds. I am 73 yo, 6 foot 2 inches and Ideal upper weight range is 188 pounds. My next goal is to get to 185 pounds and keep continuing. Feel much better eating whole foods. Thank you and take care.
Keeping it real...I have always rinsed my canned veggies and NEVER eat a whole can. Was raised in Europe by people who went thru wars. We never piled on the cold cuts as they do here. I don't eat pickles,so that's not an issue. I do try to eat things in moderation but do admit to loving fries . LAYS plain salted are a treat couple times a month and yes I can eat 2/3 of a bag in one go. I crave salt sometimes. Don't smoke, drink a couple bottles of wine in the winter and a couple six packs over several days in the summer. I'm 67 years old female and not interested in living to be 90. Dementia runs in the family. I cut the grass and do all the gardening, the household chores and the shopping. Did I mention my hubby is sickly and needs my help as did my parents before they passed. I'm retired now from a big box retailer after 41 years . I can feel my blood pressure rising sometimes but a one a day low dose aspirin works a charm. So let me enjoy my few dietetic sins and eat what I want!
@@chrisbrake907 first sorry for your lost and your hubby blessed to have you.and I definitely know I'm eating things with high sodium .but I'm more concise now .and I love lays plain chip's .I usually get the ones ligthy salted . have you seen those? Also being a single father raising four two has autism my life far different from others but I'm definitely going to start eating healthier working out and watching my sodium intake . GOD BLESS
I’ve noticed that everything in this country is laced with salt that sometimes it burns your tongue. I feel so bad for the young people especially because they don’t know the danger of eating all these foods and they are addicted to all these that you have named. Sometimes we can say that” we dig our own grave with our teeth”. None of these companies making these products care about you, they just want to sell their stuff so you are the one who is going to suffer later and it’s your body , so prevention is way better than cure.
So true, well said. This is the reason knowledge is the key and sometimes children live what they learn. Some children are served fast food daily and sometimes 3 meals. Sad we that have a little knowledge need to educate our children and grandchildren about the long term effects of unhealthy eating.
You sold me... I'm 75 years young and I measure every meal I eat by ounces, calories...... Its all about moderation... But I'm also on blood preasure medication so now I pay more attention to sodium.... Will be ordering you book in the future..
Thanks DOCROR FOR SHARING so we can do better I understand all that you said I will do better may the good LORD CONTINUE TO bless you and your teaching
Wow Doctor this is a awesome video I am a 64 black male with high blood pressure last month I lost 28 pounds I am trying very hard to get off high blood pressure medication
Dr.Frita, thank you for reminding me as well as inspiring me to be more conscious. Specially now that during my last physical, I was told that I have high blood pressure, I love to cook, as well as invite friends for a delicious meal. I will be here listening to your advice, cause knowledge is a key to achieving goals.
I had a doctor just like her once & I was so glad to have her for the short time I had her. She literally save my life, one day I was in her office & she asked me what type of foods did I eat. She explained it just like this doctor did & then some. That day I left her office and went straight to the supermarket & I started reading the sodium in thing's, I was shocked. I didn't even know that their was salt in milk, they put salt in damn near everything nowadays. Like for instance, one hotdog has over 500mg of salt & you know one hotdog isn't about to fill you up. But at Smart & final they sell a box of hamburger patties 60ct and each patties is only 50mg of salt. So 2 patties is 400mg less salt than 1 hotdog. I love rice-a-roni but be careful with the little pack of seasoning inside, it's like 600mg of salt. So I use like a third of it, believe me it still taste just as good. One other secret she didn't mention is (GARLIC) add garlic to your spaghetti, stews, beans, etc.(DRINK PLENTY OF WATER) try to drink water your meals instead of soda because water delutes salt & soda has salt and sets on top of your food. One last thing, (BE CAREFUL OF FOOD OR SNACKS WITH SEA SALT) THAT STUFF IS A INSTANT BLOOD PRESSURE RAISER. TAKE CARE 👍🏽♥️🙏
Thank you Doctor...your break down really opened my eyes to WHY I never could get my blood pressure down...and everything on your tabke I ATE...WOW...again thank you so much...
For pickle lovers, it helps tremendously to grow cucumbers and make our own! This way, we have total control of the sodium content. (This goes for everything else. Canning is work, but worth it....and that DRESSED UP bowl of salty chicken noodle soup had me crackin up) Dr. Frita, "You know good and well" you are the GOAT! I just looooove your southern, down-to-earth approach to educating us about our health and well-being! Much more refreshing and enjoyable to listen to! Thank you for sharing and CARING! SUBSCRIBED!
Thanks Dr.Frita. I appreciate your advise. I am retire as a Health Care Provider. It was always difficult to get some patience to be compliant. I hope those watching and who have a diagnosis of HTN, I hope they are paying attention. Thank You!
I thought I was up on all the latest health info, but this was eye opening. All my cans and jars of tomato products have tons of sodium. And I do have high blood pressure. Thank you!
just finished watching your video, how about if you bake your chicken and does tuna fish in a can any good. oh and what about stir fried veggies with extrta olive oil
Wow! This was informational! I've even diagnosed 15 years ago with HBP. Thank you for your video. I've subscribed bc I need to know what I can eat! No more fried foods, can foods, condiments, but no hot sauce will be difficult. Very educational!
Thank you Dr.Frita, I greatly appreciate you taking the time and caring enough to share this vital information with me, a lot of this information I am aware of, thanks to you again, a lot of it was good news, to help me be more healthy, I Believe you were Heaven sent especially to me, my favorite saying is, I do not have an issue with getting older, just not to be old and SICK, Keep fulfilling this great mission you have been called to, and don't let bad comments shut you down, I love you🤗
Thank you for explaining sodium content. I use lots of canned veggies. Usually the small cans of 630 mg. Of sodium, stated on the label as only 27% of daily value. Which according to your comments are not an unhealthy level. Your tip on soaking canned goods in water, is something I am going to do. I don't have high blood pressure but I keep myself informed and maintain healthy eating. Most times I keep my portions small. Meat is not in my diet, seafood is my favorite. I have also found, no salt labels on canned veggies reduces sodium to 20mg, 1% of the daily value. Listening to health and diet professionals and reading has helped me tremendously. Again, Thanks
@@tsmartin no. I don't eat a whole can of vegetables at a meal. I usually open up a can of green beans. And a can of sliced potatoes. And I eat. My niece eats her boyfriend too and that is what we do. No way I'm eating a whole can of vegetables at one sitting. Lol
Here's the thing about sodium; Some folks are a LOT more sensitive than others when it comes to how sodium affects their BP or body chemistry! My late sister always used to bloat badly around her period or when she was pregnant. Dialing the salt back really helped her! On the other hand salt doesn't seem to have much affect at all on my BP and I Never ever get bloated. Go figure?🤔
Oh-my-goodness! Dr. Frita thank you for making this video. You are doing 4 things here for: Reinforcing much of what I'm already avoiding and giving me more reason to stay focus. Reading the content, cooking more. I'm a little a Pescatarian finding more options. You are also causing me to miss my home grounds in Arkansas everytime you say " You know Goodden-well" I've only heard from southern people.
Thank you for informing us year ago I cut down on salt especially snacks and that along I lost weight and 2 dress sizes. Then sugar I lost even more weight. So thank you you are very right.
Really appreciate this vodeo but here is the thing, i've been suffering from high B/P since the stone.age, will be 63 2morrow, i take medicaction but a few months ago, had a stroke, getting better but i am eating way diferent now, take heed peeps, this is no joke.😮
Thanks, Doc! What great material in this video (and ALSO the one for healthier foods for a low sodium diet). Don't let anyone tell you that you're being too repetitive, as making better health choices need constant reminders and because our old, bad food habits die hard! Best wishes to you! Thanks again!
Thanks dr for such an eye opener that we don’t think of the small details 😢we are doing to out bodies that is killing us slowly but surely 😢oh I have a can of green beans wow so much hidden information we miss thanks dr so helpful we perish for lack of knowledge pay attention to our soul sister of knowledge thanks Doctor love it the request to pray for so many people with strokes and diabetes lives lost this year alone has sky rocketed we are digging ou😢 graves with our forks as our moms would say we can do better theses health issues are real we need to think before we pick up that pickle , that hot sauce that ketchup then chips 😢and pizza them pig feet’s chittering 😢beans,greens, potato you name it! Talking to me too ok thanks again doctor
I eat lunch at the senior center slowly with my own spices. Otherwise a mix of everything good or bad in moderation. At 88 I read all the health info but eat as i desire. Grew up on healthy food and look 20 years younger according to health professionals. But in todays world too much is overprocessed. Hard for people to resist. Look at a persons flab and what they have in their grocery carts and you see why they look unhealthy.
@@anne-no2ic I've noticed the grocery aisles where you find junk-food snacks and sodas, are twice as wide as any of the other grocery aisles. I used to think it was the largess of the shoppers who frequent that part of the store, but then realised it's because of the giant wooden skids requiring access, to stock all that sugary drink on the shelves. Here's to your happiness and good health!🍎
Thanks Doc, I really needed this video. I have high blood pressure and I stopped drinking ( I drank in excess- rum & coke…probably a half gallon of rum and at least 12 cokes a week). Now I’m working on my diet. Actually everything in this podcast, I really needed this. I’m getting active and changing my diet. Sodium is everywhere, WOW. Doc I love you, thanks 😘
You are the most real Doctor I have ever come across. Thank you for laying it out so we all will understand it. You are right, none of us eat 1 serving of foods. I truly cannot believe how much sodium is in some foods. I knew lunch meats, canned foods, pickles , bacon, and some processed foods have high sodium. To me if something taste salty (my tongue is very sensitive to salt) I don't like it. I watch all salty foods, and fatty foods and do not salt anything but eggs and potatoes and salt them barely. I just don't like salt or salty foods. I try to follow a low carb lifestyle. it seems to agree with me the best. thank you again for keeping it real.
I prepare 2 to 4 eggs with a handful of chopped onions and green chillies and 2 tea spoons of olive oil sauteed lighly and bam here I go. No salt. My weakness is adding 3 to 5 tea spoons of sugar to coffee. I usually try to restrict it to just 2 coffees a day. Yesterday, I was vaccuming my home (still not done with it) and ended up drinking 3 12oz cups of coffee!!!
Good advice! Avoid canned vegetables entirely. Buy frozen vegetables, or grow your own vegetables if you can. As she mentioned, if you have canned vegetables, rinsing them off with fresh water will help knock the sodium down a little bit. Also, it’s best to avoid all processed foods. They say to shop the perimeter of the supermarket, where most of the unprocessed foods are. Another thing about ketchup, is many brands contain high fructose corn syrup, which is even worse for you. I avoid ketchup unless it’s free of high fructose corn syrup. You’re going to gain a ton of weight and that’s gonna increase your blood pressure. Heinz, perhaps the most popular brand, has high fructose corn syrup in it. I won’t touch the stuff anymore. European countries ban high fructose corn syrup.
Yup and ranch which is what she said condiments. . .You can make your own ketchup and stuff like that with less sodium. I USED TO DROWN MY FOODS IN KETCHUP AND RANCH AND DIDNT KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING,I HAD HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE FOR TWO DAYS AFTER BEING HOSPITALIZED FOR VOMITING FLUID AND BLOOD AND NOT BEING ABLE TO WALK AFTER I DID AN EXERCISE AND FELL ASLEEP AND WOKE UP NOT BEING ABLE TO WALK.I HAD HPYLORY AND INFECTION KN MY LEGS WITH FLUID BAD CASE OF EDEMA ,I TOOK ANTIBIOTICS TO RID THE INFECTION BUT THAT MADE MY GUT WORSE EVEN THOUGH IT TOOK THE INFECTION OUT.I GOT TRANSFERED TO REHAB TO WALK BETTER BECAUSE I LOST ENERGY IN MY LEGS AND REFFERED BY A PHYSICAL THERAPIST AND THEN A WEEKN TWO WEEKS LATER I HAD HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. STRESS CAUSED IT MORE SO AT THE TIMS BUT BAD EATING CHOICES LIKE KETCHUP AND MORE RECENTLY BINGING ON CHINESE FOOD LIKE THREE PLATES AND A WHOLE LITER OF SODA THREE TIMES A WEEK AND PIZZA AND HOT WINGS AND FRIES DID IT TO ME INCLUDING EVERYTHING SHE MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO AND NOW I RECOGNIZED IT.IF I DIDNT HAVE THAT ACCIDENT DOING THE WALL EXERCISE I WOULD PROBABLY KILLED MYSELF FROM SLEEP APNEA AND GUT PROBLEMS WHICH LEADS TO CLOGGED ARTERIES AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. THANK GOD FOR PEOPLE WHO SHARE ON UA-cam ROOT CAUSES OF VIRAL INFECTIONS HEALTH PROBLEMS AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT THEM TO REBUILD YOUR BODY AND HEALTH FROM FURTHER DAMAGE. PLEASE WATCH ALL OF HER OTHER VIDEOS AND ALSO CHECK OUT OTHER DOCTORS ON HERE THAT GIVE SAME ADVICE COVERING ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH PROBLEMS AND GIVING GREAT SOLUTIONS TO RECOVER FROM THEM AND ALSO PREVENT THESE THINGS TO HAPPEN.
They are putting high fructose corn syrup in far less foods now and when omitted it even says so on the label. The usual suspects like regular soda and canned fruit will probably always have it. You can get sugar free ketchup, though it will still have much sodium from the salt. Can you imagine ketchup without either of these though? You could make your own ketchup.
Avoid seed oil. Every product you has a seed oil in it Avoid vegetable oil. Corn oil Soy oil Canola oil Sesame oil Peanut oil These oils are too high in omega 6. And turn into poison. Have you read any of the new studies?
You’ve gained a new sub. Your delivery and humor won’t me over. I get the feeling that you don’t necessarily have to avoid all of them but be mindful of the portions you are eating and try to stay below the suggested daily intake. Not only good for people with HBP but good guidance for all. Thank you doc.
Meeee toooo! We need someone who speaks like us! I understood everything she said, not like the medical terminology that the average patient don’t understand…..and nowwww I’m ready to clean out my cabinets and fridge!!!! Love her❤️
Thanks for the info! I really want to improve my blood pressure this year! Unfortunately, I have cardiovascular disease on both sides of my family so genetics are not helping me!
Dr. Frita, just came across your channel. I was just informed by my yearly exam that I have high blood pressure. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me. I truly appreciate it. God bless you. Will be ordering your book.
I just came across this video and I am very glad I did. My BP is up and down in a matter of 5 to 10 min resting. It ranges 140/70 to 117/54. Most times it's 125/60. Why is that? T.u..I subscribed. God Bless Dr. Frita!
A nephrologist with charisma. After my biopsie it was determined I do not have kidney disease but one damaged kidney is not doing well. I eat better everyday and will follow your recipes. Thank you
That's wonderful ... congratulations . My b.p.is currently where yours was . I'm battling to bring it down so any hints and tips would be greatly appreciated
Thank you Dr. Frita, especially for the tip on canned vegetables. I like to eat beans like black, red kidney, pinto beans and chickpeas, I always rinse off the water but I’ll now also soak them for a bit as you stated.
Dry beans are cheaper and better for you. Soak overnight or low simmer for a couple of hours. We love rice and beans... and you can make even that healthier! Brown rice, homemade sofrito, dry beans, more veggies... SO delicious 😋
@@pattiwelcher455 I’m a bean lover, been using dry beans since I was a child when my mom taught me. Sometimes though, I like to take shortcuts and eating canned beans is healthier than eating some other foods I could choose.
America Medical Association and America Heart Association are bought over by big pharmaceutical companies. Natural products are way to go. Thank you, doctor
Hi Dr awesome information, thanks! I didnt see bread in this video, I do have high blood pressure, and I love bread so much, how what do I do about this huge problem?
Thanks for this Dr Frita. I've had this now for 4 years and was looking around to find helpful tips on helping out with my diet. I will definitely try to avoid these canned foods and have more organic stuff.
Thanks, Dr. Fritta. I'm definitely monitoring my BP since I've been watching your videos. I also had to modify my diet. I also exercise frequently. I'm doing much better. Thanks again!❤
Right, I tried it, I was hungry, miserable, Cause our body is used to certain foods, that what we function off of, I don't over do it tho, I'm 120 at 65,
Good morning Dr. Frita: You are truly a gift from God. I'm very appreciative of the various tidbits of educational health videos that you present on a regular basis, especially when it pertains to Diabetes, High Blood pressure and Kidney disease. I share these videos with family, friends and acquaintances. I have now pegged you and crowned 👑 you as The Mom of All Medicine. Hotep, take your much deserved place in history. ❤
Thank You. This is certainly an eye opener. I have already eliminated a lot of these foods, but there are still some among your list that is surprising.
I watch my sodium intake closely. But I can’t live on a diet of lettuce and water either. Moderation and common sense have to be in the equation. Thank you for sharing this good information.
You don’t have to. I am extremely sodium sensitive, and if I eat more than 180mg of sodium at a time, my blood pressure goes up high. I bake my chicken and vegetables with no sodium. I bake a medley of vegetables with olive oil, onion powder, and Italian seasons with no salt. I bake my chicken with olive oil Italian seasons and no salt. I cook macaroni and add “no sodium-added” Campbell’s chicken soup and red pepper flakes. There are many ways to cook with our sodium that tastes really good.
Dr. Frita. I make most of my meals with the exception on days when I don’t have the time or I’m out. I use coconut oil to fry and I don’t use a lot of the ingredients Normally use to fry chicken. I only use herb seasoning, no salt add. Is that OK to lower sodium?
Dr. Frita, thank you for your understanding and sensitivity to those families you have seen a lot im sure not have the money or knowledge to get better food. My family talks the talk but they struggle with high sodium histories.🙁
Doc, you are an absolute GEM! So down to Earth and spot on with everything you said. I could watch your videos and listen to you all day. Every parent should have your demeanor. “Let’s talk about it…..” “You know good and well…..” “Now you already know….” “Hmmmm, what’s a serving?!” You are Level headed and sharp!
Thank you. Just shared with a few other relatives who have high blood pressure. I wasn’t even thinking of the condiments ketchup mayo mustard tarter sauce. I do try to get low sodium but it hard to find everything low in sodium. I found a company on Amazon that had No Added Salt soups I bought the lot 12 cans 6 were dented had to discard. So won’t do that mistake again. Great important video on thank you. 👍🏾

I needed to see this video so I can eat better, but not to say I wasn't already eating good, but her video will improve my eating habits. But anyway there are foods, and whatever other substances that can counterattack sodium, and sugar. Such as foods with Potassium flushes sodium out of your system. While foods with fiber absorb some of the sugar in your body so that this absorbed sugar never reaches your blood stream.

@Angie H ...❤THANK YOU❤
@@awesumpowerz6805 You're welcome!
@@vblacka4117 Definitely. I might treat myself once a month with ribs or Popeyes but I follow up with lots of water and veggies. We all know from our body's reactions when we've overindulged
the list assumes people are mindlessly eating breakfast/lunch/dinner + snack and popular unhealthy habits. no. 5/6/7 minus sugar based items can actually be part of healthy keto and intermittent fasting (1 to 2 meals) with nutrient dense greens. the meat quality should be grass fed or organic if possible and controlled portions. eating less to improve healthy through intermittent fasting is free/natural and cost/time effective way to improve overall health.
excercise/sleep quality and stress management and self improvement focus is essential too for wholistic improvement.
chasing isolated canned and food items sounds good but an integrated effort to learn how focus on adjustments for health must be the focus and the by product of that is balanced blood pressure and more. for example, eating too much processed carbs and sugar is more lethal than all these items. the invisible combined detrimental effect of insulin resistance disregulated sleep is elusive. be humble and fearless to put these tips together and more to become a champion of your health. that is the bottom line. the journey is tailor made for each individual. do the needful and be consistent....the results will come!
There R so many who can't afford doctor's or book's, Thank U 4 ur good work 4 us poor folk !!!
Let me start by saying just watching your video lowered my blood pressure, i am a dad to a 3 year old daughter she is the biggest motivation for me to stay healthy iam a truck driver by profession so alot of seat time watching your video helped me alot thank you God bless you
"You know good and well. . . " Love it. You sound like a well educated, articulate family member!
The reality is.... SHE IS!!!

Hi Dr. Frita, I dropped my weight from 265 lbs to 235 lbs since July of last year. I underwent shoulder replacement surgery and began eating bagged salads and found my BP spiked in spite of being on Bystolic. When I read the sodium content of say a Cesar Salad, I was blown away by how much sodium it contained in the dressing/croutons. Then I was adding some chopped anchovies for taste. Needless to say, I’m done with that behavior. Thank you so very much for your videos. I have two grand babies whom I absolutely adore and would like to be around for them.
We'll start calling you Slim Rock now!!
You’ll drop amazing weight if on the first plate nothing but vegetables and the second plate what ever you want you’ll be holding one hand on your pants to keep them up haha
Any salad anywhere you go the dressing and the crackers should be avoided. You can add a bit of olive oil or may be a tea spoon of honey but that's it.
It's hard to know what you can eat and how much with salt content being in almost everything. You would need to carry the info with you. And if you eat for lunch in a deli ..FORGEDABOWDIT.... I don't see how you could stay below 1500mg
Lovely ❤
As an 82 yr old, I've never watched salt (always had low blood pressure) now a candidate for kidney disease, I must drastically change my diet. Thanks, Dr. Frita, you are so thorough.
Try nattokinase, or natto
You could get nattokinase from health food stores
Natto..is a little like chitterlings, but not quite as bad (fermented soybeans)
With texture as okra...best with 🥢 chopsticks 🤗
She's not totally correct on salt...I think she's trying to say these are examples of extreme salt.
I always rinse my can foods. Been rinsing most of my life and I’m 61 now. I hope that helps removing the sodium.
Dr. Frita. Thank you - I have been trying to tell my husband everything you have delivered in a nutshell. After seeing a cardiologist and he pointed out that cheese was his downfall. You have filled in the blanks. He loved it when you said one corn dog are you kidding yourself. You can't stop at two. We bought your book and believe it should be in every cardiologist's office. He is going to share his with a young friend who has high blood pressure. Now we just have to stop the cooking shows from telling everyone you have to salt every addition and layer as you cook. I make homemade pumpernickel bread and white bread and only use a quarter tsp of salt for 1 loaf. You have saved my husband from a massive stroke and perhaps even a widow maker. We love you and your common sense that seems to be lacking from most people today.
Patricia Dickinson
*SAME!
I've been trying to get my husband to be more serious about his health. I don't use salt unless absolutely necessary. I don't have a salt shaker anywhere that he can grab it. I grow our vegetables and can them. I only use a minimal amount that is absolutely necessary to can what I've grown. We only eat chicken and Salmon. I also love Dr. Frita and will purchase her 📚 book.

Thank you! I suffered from hypertension since 2014 I take two meds to keep it under control. My oldest brother had a stroke and I’m not trying to end up like him. Thanks for this video. I avoid cans food a lot and slowed down in drinking as well. How about drinking red wine?
@@Lamorenha l
Yes cheese was my down fall to but it's not worth it. Praise God!
Yes I did all you said and plus on watermelons only for 3 days and walked for a half hour everyday my pressure came down fast. Staying on this diet is best. Be blessed
My blood pressure has actually improved since I've been cooking my own meats and eating a diet of 50% protein and 50% produce. Zero carbs. For 2 years in a row my doctor has complimented me on the markers on my lab work.
@@gracemorton3405 yes, you're right. It's been low carb, not zero carb because I tried 100% carnivore which works great but was challenging for me to stick to.
My BP has been out of whack! I’ve never considered taking a close look at the labels. Wow….

I retired 2 months ago. Eliminating the stress of the job, and eliminating the sugary snacks, caused my blood pressure to drop. Apple cider vinegar and green tea also helped.
"HIBISCUS" TEA also lower the high blood pressure.
Lord help me!!! I am eating the wrong foods!!!! Help please!!!!
How can I use apple cider .plz give the direction
In almost everything. Dressing, i the water when you boil rice, pasta, in meat when you do hamburger or a spoon full in a hlass of water with some lemon.
were you on medication
Well said & done Doc. I'm a 76 year old Logger and wild land firefighter who has had high BP all my life. We 'ARE' what we eat , drink and think. Great presentation. Cheers & Hugs from Montana. XX
The lesson learned here is this. If you have high bold pressure, DO NOT EAT ANYTHING. Maybe just a small glass of water everyday. But here is the thing. Grandma diagnosed with high blood pressure at age 55, numbers run between 150 and 180. She eats anything, loves Popeyes fried chicken. When she cooks, I can’t eat her cooking because it’s too salty. She’s turning 87 next year.
Some people as just lucky. But can we all be so?
She may be 85, but is she taking every kind of medication that's been invented??? The way folk cooked back in the day, it is no wonder their health was/is so bad. I just recently married, my husband shakes salt like crazy after I cook because he's used to his aunt's and mother's cooking, who uses too much salt and sugar, both have health issues through the roof, can hardly walk, both have bags of medication, frequent doctors appointments, and meriads of complaints. I'm 60, I take no medication for anything. Yes I do watch my sodium and sugar intake. I eat to live, not live to eat, sugar and salt means nothing to me. As a matter of fact I detest salt shaking. I don't buy salt/haven't bought salt, don't intend to buy salt. Why do I need to when EVERYTHING else I buy ALREADY has salt in it? I love me, my body is the Temple of the HOLY SPIRIT, and God's temple shouldn't be propped up by all kinds of medication, and complaints. If when it comes to life, we'd start letting the Holy Spirit do what He was sent to do - Lead, Guide, and Direct. Folk so ignore God, Jesus, and the HOLY SPIRIT as though they as the Trinity is a plague. When will folk began to look at Jesus and the benefits of that? I so enjoy my relationship with Jesus Christ, and the interaction that experience with the HOLY SPIRIT literally blows my mind. Oprah's or Tyler's money put together can't top that with me. Give me my relationship with Jesus, that's what's most important to me. That's my health, my peace, my mental stability, and my financial security - my relationship with Jesus Christ can't be duplicated.
150 bp is too high, sounds like she's living on God's grace.

DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY (#drobela).
Dr Frita I commend you on your information and being up front
Every time she said, "You know good and well.. ", I starting having mom/aunt flashbacks 😆. Thank so much Dr Frita for an informative presentation!
I hollered when she said that.
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY (#drobela)
Didn’t she remind me of a relative of mine?😂
EXACTLY 😂
I had a doctors visit this morning. On my way there. Your video popped up. I learned so much as to why my blood pressure is elevated in the first minutes of your program. Thank you so much🫶🏽! I’m Looking to do much better🙏🏽
Bacon & doritos or ruffles or tortillas are my downfall. I have stage 3 ckd with 1 kidney due to rcc. My left was removed along with my adrenal. I do limit my intake of chips to a small single serve about once a week of only 1 of them. But my bacon addiction is a real thing. 😩
I also have hashi., fibro., & lupus, along with several injuries from a fall I took several years ago that have contributed to weight gain. I thank you for this eye opener, and will try my best to do better. I may make myself a chart for my phone to log my progress. Again thank you.
Thanks Dr Frita for this top notch presentation.I started avoiding or reducing these stuff when I was having some kidney problems. It just did the magic for me. When you watch your diet strictly and carefully, you are not only going to control your blood pressure but also the following:
1. Kidney problems
2. Liver problems
3. Diabetes
4.Cholesterol related diseases.
In addition to what Dr Frita said, please let us avoid the following:
1.Too chilled water
2. Carbonated drinks
3. Energy drinks (Caffeine )
4.All processed SPICES
LET OUR FOOD BE OUR MEDICINE!!
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY (#drobela)
Uh oh! I probably drink too much coffee (caffeine), but not much soda (10 oz cans, no more than 1/day...at most), and is there such a thing as TOO MUCH WATER? My Auntie (a retired RN) issued a warning about that. Any help will be appreciated.
So what do you eat because it seems I should be eating only grass at this extent.
@@teeteeme5752 You got a real sense of humor 🤣😂
@@carolynpratt3408 😁😁 I had a hard time finding the right food when invited to Xmas lunch with my colleagues at work.
Hi Dr Fritta I'm a person with high blood pressure and yes I do eat bacon every now and then! But before I cook it in my air fryer I soak my bacon in a container with water and vinegar I can see a lot of Sodium and fat floating on top of the water. It still taste good but not as Salty I soak it for about 5 to 10 minutes.
I'm so grateful I found this. Such healthy information.
Thanks❤
You just gained a follower. Thank you for doing this. So many people need this to speak more openly to their doctors. I am very proud of you.
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY (#drobela)
I love her realness! She already knows, nobody is going to eat just one of anything!! 🤣 😂 😹
I love it 🤣🤣🤣 Sistah talk
True 😂
Yes I have met some who only eat one ☝️ they exist. I know I need to have eat just one. It’s a process.
She’s gorgeous too though 😭😍
If I ate just one it that bag of chips, bottle of pickles, package of deli meat, etc would last way too long. I'm trying to finish it so it doesn't go bad and here I am doing harm to my blood pressure/body.
Good day Good morning good afternoon, first time watching your video on Saturday and to day is Tuesday 3/21/23 on Friday 18th I went to the dentist to have my brige done the doctor say blood pressure is too high 190 , I told the doctor I ate soup with a lot of salt and I had jerk chicken am Jamaican we used alot of spices in our food we are not educated , but watching your video am down to 138/80 its a great blessing from God to watching your video, God work through you on this day thank you may God bless you and family.
Thank you for being informative about how to adjust your diet to help combat HBP. The first thing doctors nowadays run to is medicating you instead of suggesting a better meal plan/diet for starting the process of lowering your BP. Thank you for all you do 💛💛
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY (#drobela)
I learnt they are given some commission by d pharmacies they refer u to for medication.
Dr. Frida makes me laugh with her delivery, but she is soooo right! I cheated here and there with food last week and my blood pressure is still gradually coming down from being frighteningly high. I Learned I cannot mess around.
Dr Frita we appreciate how you care💜🙏🏼
I am a new subscriber! I was diagnosed with HBP with my 3rd child. When my 4th came, I had to be induced because my blood pressure was high. After delivery, I ended back in the hospital with stats that read 200/115 or something crazy like that but stroke level high. I was told when I lost weight I could be off meds. Well, I lost the weight. Went from a size 2XL to 4. I am now a size 7/8. Doctor told me I would NEVER be off meds. I am trying to remove bad eating habits with healthy. Your video was my reminder of what to avoid. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of foods to avoid with you have HBP.
You absolutely can get off of your meds! Anything white, especially SUGAR, causes high blood pressure as well. Hyperinsulinemia is the root cause of most health issues we have. Please introduce your babies to a healthy lifestyle while they are young. Begin eliminating anything white from your diet to include: flour products, rice, pasta, potatoes, salt and sugar. Also, limit starchy foods such as beans and corn. I don’t know how much water you drink, but water is a natural blood pressure regulator. Find you a holistic practitioner if your doctor does not want to work with you. It is an absolute lie that you have to be on medication for the rest of your life. Look into a whole food plant based diet and eat your fruits and vegetables uncooked or lightly steamed. Please keep us posted on your journey and thank you for sharing your experience.
Awesome. Thank you for this video on items to stay away from or limit for high blood pressure. I do have high blood pressure controlled by one medicine for quite a while - Metoprolol 50mg. But I didn't pay attention to what I ate. I started myself now on a mix of Keto low carb and non red meats which I started March 2022. So, watching what I eat more now, and my weight is coming down. Started at 206 pounds in March and now down to 189 pounds. I am 73 yo, 6 foot 2 inches and Ideal upper weight range is 188 pounds. My next goal is to get to 185 pounds and keep continuing. Feel much better eating whole foods. Thank you and take care.
Keeping it real...I have always rinsed my canned veggies and NEVER eat a whole can. Was raised in Europe by people who went thru wars. We never piled on the cold cuts as they do here. I don't eat pickles,so that's not an issue. I do try to eat things in moderation but do admit to loving fries . LAYS plain salted are a treat couple times a month and yes I can eat 2/3 of a bag in one go. I crave salt sometimes. Don't smoke, drink a couple bottles of wine in the winter and a couple six packs over several days in the summer. I'm 67 years old female and not interested in living to be 90. Dementia runs in the family. I cut the grass and do all the gardening, the household chores and the shopping. Did I mention my hubby is sickly and needs my help as did my parents before they passed. I'm retired now from a big box retailer after 41 years . I can feel my blood pressure rising sometimes but a one a day low dose aspirin works a charm. So let me enjoy my few dietetic sins and eat what I want!
@@chrisbrake907 first sorry for your lost and your hubby blessed to have you.and I definitely know I'm eating things with high sodium .but I'm more concise now .and I love lays plain chip's .I usually get the ones ligthy salted . have you seen those? Also being a single father raising four two has autism my life far different from others but I'm definitely going to start eating healthier working out and watching my sodium intake . GOD BLESS
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY (#drobela).
I’ve noticed that everything in this country is laced with salt that sometimes it burns your tongue. I feel so bad for the young people especially because they don’t know the danger of eating all these foods and they are addicted to all these that you have named. Sometimes we can say that” we dig our own grave with our teeth”. None of these companies making these products care about you, they just want to sell their stuff so you are the one who is going to suffer later and it’s your body , so prevention is way better than cure.
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY ( #drobela ).
So true, well said. This is the reason knowledge is the key and sometimes children live what they learn. Some children are served fast food daily and sometimes 3 meals. Sad we that have a little knowledge need to educate our children and grandchildren about the long term effects of unhealthy eating.
Thank you because I didn't know about some of these foods. Now tell us what is good and easy accessible.
You sold me... I'm 75 years young and I measure every meal I eat by ounces, calories...... Its all about moderation... But I'm also on blood preasure medication so now I pay more attention to sodium.... Will be ordering you book in the future..
Thanks DOCROR FOR SHARING so we can do better I understand all that you said I will do better may the good LORD CONTINUE TO bless you and your teaching

I will be here listening to your advice, cause knowledge is a key to achieving goals.
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY (#drobela)
I had a doctor just like her once & I was so glad to have her for the short time I had her. She literally save my life, one day I was in her office & she asked me what type of foods did I eat. She explained it just like this doctor did & then some. That day I left her office and went straight to the supermarket & I started reading the sodium in thing's, I was shocked. I didn't even know that their was salt in milk, they put salt in damn near everything nowadays. Like for instance, one hotdog has over 500mg of salt & you know one hotdog isn't about to fill you up. But at Smart & final they sell a box of hamburger patties 60ct and each patties is only 50mg of salt. So 2 patties is 400mg less salt than 1 hotdog. I love rice-a-roni but be careful with the little pack of seasoning inside, it's like 600mg of salt. So I use like a third of it, believe me it still taste just as good. One other secret she didn't mention is (GARLIC) add garlic to your spaghetti, stews, beans, etc.(DRINK PLENTY OF WATER) try to drink water your meals instead of soda because water delutes salt & soda has salt and sets on top of your food. One last thing, (BE CAREFUL OF FOOD OR SNACKS WITH SEA SALT) THAT STUFF IS A INSTANT BLOOD PRESSURE RAISER. TAKE CARE 👍🏽♥️🙏
Thank you Doctor...your break down really opened my eyes to WHY I never could get my blood pressure down...and everything on your tabke I ATE...WOW...again thank you so much...
You can make MANY delicious, satisfying meals without the piles of salt. Do it! You won't regret it
Please be my doctor
For pickle lovers, it helps tremendously to grow cucumbers and make our own! This way, we have total control of the sodium content. (This goes for everything else. Canning is work, but worth it....and that DRESSED UP bowl of salty chicken noodle soup had me crackin up) Dr. Frita, "You know good and well" you are the GOAT!

Thank you for explaining sodium content. I use lots of canned veggies. Usually the small cans of 630 mg. Of sodium, stated on the label as only 27% of daily value. Which according to your comments are not an unhealthy level. Your tip on soaking canned goods in water, is something I am going to do. I don't have high blood pressure but I keep myself informed and maintain healthy eating. Most times I keep my portions small. Meat is not in my diet, seafood is my favorite. I have also found, no salt labels on canned veggies reduces sodium to 20mg, 1% of the daily value. Listening to health and diet professionals and reading has helped me tremendously. Again, Thanks
Does anybody really eat a whole can of vegetables in one sitting??? If so ... I must be the odd one out.
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY (#drobela).
@@tsmartin no. I don't eat a whole can of vegetables at a meal. I usually open up a can of green beans. And a can of sliced potatoes. And I eat. My niece eats her boyfriend too and that is what we do. No way I'm eating a whole can of vegetables at one sitting. Lol
Thank you so much for this information. Do you have a video on how to season your food without using salt?
Here's the thing about sodium; Some folks are a LOT more sensitive than others when it comes to how sodium affects their BP or body chemistry! My late sister always used to bloat badly around her period or when she was pregnant. Dialing the salt back really helped her! On the other hand salt doesn't seem to have much affect at all on my BP and I Never ever get bloated. Go figure?🤔
Use clove and ginger.
I definitely needed to watch this. Even though I KNOW I needed to visually see all this together.
I might watch this every week
Oh-my-goodness! Dr. Frita thank you for making this video. You are doing 4 things here for: Reinforcing much of what I'm already avoiding and giving me more reason to stay focus. Reading the content, cooking more. I'm a little a Pescatarian finding more options. You are also causing me to miss my home grounds in Arkansas everytime you say " You know Goodden-well" I've only heard from southern people.

I eat lunch at the senior center slowly with my own spices. Otherwise a mix of everything good or bad in moderation.
At 88 I read all the health info but eat as i desire. Grew up on healthy food and look 20 years younger according to health professionals. But in todays world too much is overprocessed. Hard for people to resist.
Look at a persons flab and what they have in their grocery carts and you see why they look unhealthy.
@@anne-no2ic I've noticed the grocery aisles where you find junk-food snacks and sodas, are twice as wide as any of the other grocery aisles. I used to think it was the largess of the shoppers who frequent that part of the store, but then realised it's because of the giant wooden skids requiring access, to stock all that sugary drink on the shelves.
Here's to your happiness and good health!🍎
I heard mustard and pickle juice brings the pressure down! I’m glad I found this video.
Thanks Doc, I really needed this video. I have high blood pressure and I stopped drinking ( I drank in excess- rum & coke…probably a half gallon of rum and at least 12 cokes a week). Now I’m working on my diet. Actually everything in this podcast, I really needed this. I’m getting active and changing my diet. Sodium is everywhere, WOW. Doc I love you, thanks 😘
How's it coming along? I'm working on healthier eating and lifestyle habits. 🤗
You are the most real Doctor I have ever come across. Thank you for laying it out so we all will understand it. You are right, none of us eat 1 serving of foods. I truly cannot believe how much sodium is in some foods. I knew lunch meats, canned foods, pickles , bacon, and some processed foods have high sodium. To me if something taste salty (my tongue is very sensitive to salt) I don't like it. I watch all salty foods, and fatty foods and do not salt anything but eggs and potatoes and salt them barely. I just don't like salt or salty foods.
I try to follow a low carb lifestyle. it seems to agree with me the best.
thank you again for keeping it real.

I prepare 2 to 4 eggs with a handful of chopped onions and green chillies and 2 tea spoons of olive oil sauteed lighly and bam here I go. No salt. My weakness is adding 3 to 5 tea spoons of sugar to coffee. I usually try to restrict it to just 2 coffees a day. Yesterday, I was vaccuming my home (still not done with it) and ended up drinking 3 12oz cups of coffee!!!
Smart ladies l agreed with the food to avoid this information is helpful
Awesome sauce doc. I will be ordering your book. Thanks for caring enough to share this vital information with us.

Good advice!
Avoid canned vegetables entirely. Buy frozen vegetables, or grow your own vegetables if you can. As she mentioned, if you have canned vegetables, rinsing them off with fresh water will help knock the sodium down a little bit.
Also, it’s best to avoid all processed foods. They say to shop the perimeter of the supermarket, where most of the unprocessed foods are.
Another thing about ketchup, is many brands contain high fructose corn syrup, which is even worse for you. I avoid ketchup unless it’s free of high fructose corn syrup. You’re going to gain a ton of weight and that’s gonna increase your blood pressure. Heinz, perhaps the most popular brand, has high fructose corn syrup in it. I won’t touch the stuff anymore. European countries ban high fructose corn syrup.
Yup and ranch which is what she said condiments. . .You can make your own ketchup and stuff like that with less sodium. I USED TO DROWN MY FOODS IN KETCHUP AND RANCH AND DIDNT KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING,I HAD HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE FOR TWO DAYS AFTER BEING HOSPITALIZED FOR VOMITING FLUID AND BLOOD AND NOT BEING ABLE TO WALK AFTER I DID AN EXERCISE AND FELL ASLEEP AND WOKE UP NOT BEING ABLE TO WALK.I HAD HPYLORY AND INFECTION KN MY LEGS WITH FLUID BAD CASE OF EDEMA ,I TOOK ANTIBIOTICS TO RID THE INFECTION BUT THAT MADE MY GUT WORSE EVEN THOUGH IT TOOK THE INFECTION OUT.I GOT TRANSFERED TO REHAB TO WALK BETTER BECAUSE I LOST ENERGY IN MY LEGS AND REFFERED BY A PHYSICAL THERAPIST AND THEN A WEEKN TWO WEEKS LATER I HAD HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. STRESS CAUSED IT MORE SO AT THE TIMS BUT BAD EATING CHOICES LIKE KETCHUP AND MORE RECENTLY BINGING ON CHINESE FOOD LIKE THREE PLATES AND A WHOLE LITER OF SODA THREE TIMES A WEEK AND PIZZA AND HOT WINGS AND FRIES DID IT TO ME INCLUDING EVERYTHING SHE MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO AND NOW I RECOGNIZED IT.IF I DIDNT HAVE THAT ACCIDENT DOING THE WALL EXERCISE I WOULD PROBABLY KILLED MYSELF FROM SLEEP APNEA AND GUT PROBLEMS WHICH LEADS TO CLOGGED ARTERIES AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. THANK GOD FOR PEOPLE WHO SHARE ON UA-cam ROOT CAUSES OF VIRAL INFECTIONS HEALTH PROBLEMS AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT THEM TO REBUILD YOUR BODY AND HEALTH FROM FURTHER DAMAGE.
PLEASE WATCH ALL OF HER OTHER VIDEOS AND ALSO CHECK OUT OTHER DOCTORS ON HERE THAT GIVE SAME ADVICE COVERING ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH PROBLEMS AND GIVING GREAT SOLUTIONS TO RECOVER FROM THEM AND ALSO PREVENT THESE THINGS TO HAPPEN.
Can I take Gai7ner Protein? I have high blood presente and prediabetis
They are putting high fructose corn syrup in far less foods now and when omitted it even says so on the label. The usual suspects like regular soda and canned fruit will probably always have it. You can get sugar free ketchup, though it will still have much sodium from the salt. Can you imagine ketchup without either of these though? You could make your own ketchup.
Avoid seed oil.
Every product you has a seed oil in it
Avoid vegetable oil.
Corn oil
Soy oil
Canola oil
Sesame oil
Peanut oil
These oils are too high in omega 6.
And turn into poison.
Have you read any of the new studies?
I thank you for this opportunity to help me with my condition God bless you
lol, I love the way she is keeping it real.
Thank you and I appreciate you for watching!
Yes

Excellent video!!! you got straight to the subject

Thank you Doctor. I will purchase your book, use your health advice and share it with my family & friends. Keep us informed. God bless you!
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY (#drobela).
Thank you so much for this wonderful video Dr.Frita.Very informative.
It's amazing that a doctor will address the causes of disease instead of just masking the symptoms with drugs.
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY (#drobela ).
You’ve gained a new sub. Your delivery and humor won’t me over. I get the feeling that you don’t necessarily have to avoid all of them but be mindful of the portions you are eating and try to stay below the suggested daily intake. Not only good for people with HBP but good guidance for all. Thank you doc.
I agree ! Her personality is real and refreshing! I immediately subscribed! LOVE IT
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY (#drobela)
Meeee toooo! We need someone who speaks like us! I understood everything she said, not like the medical terminology that the average patient don’t understand…..and nowwww I’m ready to clean out my cabinets and fridge!!!! Love her❤️
Agreed!!!
Thanks for the info! I really want to improve my blood pressure this year! Unfortunately, I have cardiovascular disease on both sides of my family so genetics are not helping me!
Dr. Frita, just came across your channel. I was just informed by my yearly exam that I have high blood pressure. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me. I truly appreciate it. God bless you. Will be ordering your book.
what can you eat in one day?
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY ( #drobela ).
I just came across this video and I am very glad I did. My BP is up and down in a matter of 5 to 10 min resting. It ranges 140/70 to 117/54. Most times it's 125/60. Why is that? T.u..I subscribed. God Bless Dr. Frita!
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY (#drobela ).
A nephrologist with charisma. After my biopsie it was determined I do not have kidney disease but one damaged kidney is not doing well.
I eat better everyday and will follow your recipes. Thank you
Thanks Doctor...informative kind patient and professional...
Got mind under control went from 190/120 it's now 130/76👍🏾👍🏾
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY ( #drobela ).
Huh? 190/120??? ..... How did that feel like???
@@vroor32😅 I know how did they not stroke out
What did you eat, I'm having a hard time getting mine down 😭
That's wonderful ... congratulations . My b.p.is currently where yours was . I'm battling to bring it down so any hints and tips would be greatly appreciated
This video is very helpful. My BP fluctuates everyday. Some days it’s high, some days it’s normal. I watch what I eat but it’s so annoying
Thank you Dr. Frita, especially for the tip on canned vegetables. I like to eat beans like black, red kidney, pinto beans and chickpeas, I always rinse off the water but I’ll now also soak them for a bit as you stated.
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY (#drobela)
Wonderful!! I will be doing that pretty soon.
Dry beans are cheaper and better for you. Soak overnight or low simmer for a couple of hours. We love rice and beans... and you can make even that healthier! Brown rice, homemade sofrito, dry beans, more veggies... SO delicious 😋
@@pattiwelcher455 I’m a bean lover, been using dry beans since I was a child when my mom taught me. Sometimes though, I like to take shortcuts and eating canned beans is healthier than eating some other foods I could choose.
America Medical Association and America Heart Association are bought over by big pharmaceutical companies. Natural products are way to go. Thank you, doctor
Hi Dr awesome information, thanks! I didnt see bread in this video, I do have high blood pressure, and I love bread so much, how what do I do about this huge problem?
If you make your own you can adjust the salt. I like bread too.
Very informative Dr. Frita & ty for sharing. Why do deli meats have high sodium levels? Thx.
Thanks for this Dr Frita. I've had this now for 4 years and was looking around to find helpful tips on helping out with my diet. I will definitely try to avoid these canned foods and have more organic stuff.
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY (#drobela)
Really enjoy your content and mostly the way you tell it like it is!! 😂 so much fun to listen to you!
Thanks, Dr. Fritta. I'm definitely monitoring my BP since I've been watching your videos. I also had to modify my diet. I also exercise frequently. I'm doing much better. Thanks again!❤
I hope to become like you, soon. I've begun to change my eating habits, I'm slow to exercise. I am trying to keep motivated.
Good information. Can you do a video on what healthy foods we should be eating in general? 💜 Thanks.
exacty.🤔😉
Looks like nothing left😀just drink water
Eat the fresh version of everything she said not to eat. Cook with fresh food x
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY (#drobela)
Right, I tried it, I was hungry, miserable, Cause our body is used to certain foods, that what we function off of, I don't over do it tho, I'm 120 at 65,
Good morning Dr. Frita: You are truly a gift from God. I'm very appreciative of the various tidbits of educational health videos that you present on a regular basis, especially when it pertains to Diabetes, High Blood pressure and Kidney disease. I share these videos with family, friends and acquaintances. I have now pegged you and crowned 👑 you as The Mom of All Medicine. Hotep, take your much deserved place in history. ❤
You are clearly one of the world's best communicator.
Thank you.
Thank You. This is certainly an eye opener. I have already eliminated a lot of these foods, but there are still some among your list that is surprising.
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY (#drobela).
I watch my sodium intake closely. But I can’t live on a diet of lettuce and water either. Moderation and common sense have to be in the equation. Thank you for sharing this good information.
You don’t have to. I am extremely sodium sensitive, and if I eat more than 180mg of sodium at a time, my blood pressure goes up high. I bake my chicken and vegetables with no sodium. I bake a medley of vegetables with olive oil, onion powder, and Italian seasons with no salt. I bake my chicken with olive oil Italian seasons and no salt. I cook macaroni and add “no sodium-added” Campbell’s chicken soup and red pepper flakes. There are many ways to cook with our sodium that tastes really good.
That may not be enough

Word!
@@malexander2750 HI, CAN YOU SEND ME YOUR RECIPE OF HOW MUCH WATER YOU USE AND HOW OFTEN? THANK YOU.
Dr. Frita. I make most of my meals with the exception on days when I don’t have the time or I’m out. I use coconut oil to fry and I don’t use a lot of the ingredients Normally use to fry chicken. I only use herb seasoning, no salt add. Is that OK to lower sodium?
Dr. Frita, thank you for your understanding and sensitivity to those families you have seen a lot im sure not have the money or knowledge to get better food. My family talks the talk but they struggle with high sodium histories.🙁
DR OBELA ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY (#drobela ).
Doc, you are an absolute GEM! So down to Earth and spot on with everything you said. I could watch your videos and listen to you all day. Every parent should have your demeanor. “Let’s talk about it…..” “You know good and well…..”
“Now you already know….” “Hmmmm, what’s a serving?!” You are Level headed and sharp!
Thank you. Just shared with a few other relatives who have high blood pressure. I wasn’t even thinking of the condiments ketchup mayo mustard tarter sauce. I do try to get low sodium but it hard to find everything low in sodium. I found a company on Amazon that had No Added Salt soups I bought the lot 12 cans 6 were dented had to discard. So won’t do that mistake again. Great important video on thank you. 👍🏾
Superb advice as always. Thank you, doctor.

The best guidance or medical instructions Can be passionately
demonstrated by a Black woman. I feel healthier already.
WHY do you have to bring in Race color? LOL. It's all about health darling... AND I'm French Canadian married to Jamaican. So STOP the racism 😒🙄
@@jackiebourg6869 just giving the black Queen the highest compliment. If you write a book and get on here, maybe someone will compliment you. She did an excellent job because she's an example of black excellence. It's all about how I perceive it and I'm not interested in your race or your choice partner in your marriage. Go find somebody else to play with .
I needed to see this video so I can eat better, but not to say I wasn't already eating good, but her video will improve my eating habits. But anyway there are foods, and whatever other substances that can counterattack sodium, and sugar. Such as foods with Potassium flushes sodium out of your system. While foods with fiber absorb some of the sugar in your body so that this absorbed sugar never reaches your blood stream.
