Pressione alta: cosa fare?

The video explains that normal blood pressure ranges between 120/80 mmHg, with the systolic value indicating heart contraction and the diastolic value indicating relaxation. When systolic pressure exceeds 120, it is considered isolated systolic hypertension, often caused by high cortisol levels, anemia, or diabetes. Elevated cortisol leads to sodium retention and potassium inhibition, negatively affecting the nervous system and raising systolic pressure. To lower blood pressure, the video recommends consuming foods rich in nitric oxide such as beetroot, garlic, meat, and cruciferous vegetables, and adopting a ketogenic diet combined with intermittent fasting to reduce insulin and blood sugar levels, thereby preventing insulin resistance. It also stresses the importance of maintaining adequate vitamin D levels—400–800 IU daily—to reduce cortisol, inflammation, and hypertension.
