Episode 3164:


Dr. Neal Malik shares practical and research-backed advice for managing high blood pressure, especially when genetics are at play. Learn how simple lifestyle adjustments, like reducing sodium, increasing potassium, and incorporating HIIT workouts, can significantly improve heart health and lower your risk, even as you age.


Quotes to ponder:


"You don’t have to completely get rid of salt in your diet, even a slight decrease can have an effect on your blood pressure."


"Even a small drop in body weight like five or ten pounds can be enough to help drop your blood pressure by a few points."


"Many of us get nervous when we're at the doctor's office, and when we're nervous, guess what happens to our blood pressure? It goes up."
