From last few months I have blood pressure for which medicine has been taken by me. Other than that feeling heaviness in body sometimes. My weight is 92 kg. What to do?

 You have come to the right forum. Blood pressure is definitely reversible on a plant-based diet. To understand how to reverse your condition you will have to understand what caused your condition in the first place. It’s not just lack of exercise alone and that’s your misunderstanding.

We all know that the role of the Heart is to pump blood. So the story goes like this, you eat some food, the food gets into the stomach. And for that to digest, it has to go through the entire Gastrointestinal tract. Among this liver, the gallbladder and pancreas play a major role in trying to understand and assimilate the food. The liver is one of the organs where it understands whether the food you eat in is right for the body or not. Any food that is not available directly from nature is something that the body does not understand. In any food that the body does not understand gets accumulated in the liver and the surrounding organs. One of the major functions of the liver is to thin the blood from all the fats that you constantly been feeding day after day. This might be in the form of Tadka it might be in the form of fried food it might be in the form of dairy it might be any form of animal products that you have been consuming. Please remember that cold-pressed Oils are also oils but definitely better than refined but any oil is oil. Over a period of time, these fat deposits get accumulated in the body because we don’t have vim and pril to scrub these in the body. What we do have is bilirubin that does the blood-thinning work by reducing the fats by thinning down the fats. If you have a high concentration of fats and other forms of toxins in the blood the oxygenation level in the blood will be extremely low. This low oxygenation level can pose a risk to your heart and brain. The heart actually expects a purified form of blood from the liver. Initially, when you’ve had a high-fat diet the liver would have handled the situation. But one cannot expect this to happen over and over and over again. Over a period of time, all the things that the body does not need starts overflowing from the liver and liver efficiency reduce. When the efficiency of the liver reduces it means that the blood will also be contaminated. If you are the heart and you will have to suck crude oil from a certain distance you will definitely have to put that effort isn’t it? Now if the heart has to do this over and over again on a daily basis what would be its status after few months or years? It simply gets tired gets inflamed and you will have a named condition. It is constantly working putting pressure in the arteries. Whatever may be the name of your condition what however complex is your issue it just means that the heart is tired from doing the work that it has been doing in your body over and over again.

The only remedy to this problem is to make sure that your blood is naturally thinned and handled by the body and gives the heart a break and makes the pumping the pushing and pulling easier. How do you do this? the answer is very simple:-

 you have to make sure that you consume a wholefood plant-based lifestyle, even your grains have to be in its natural whole state unpolished, absolutely no oil in your diet, very low intake of nuts and seeds after a period of time but not while healing.  

Focus to eat fresh raw fruits vegetables and greens for the entire day except for dinner when you can make an exception. Since your condition is not something that will heal overnight like a cold or a cough you must not hurry this detox rapidly as it can backfire and cause more harm than you expect. so it is very important that you just change your lifestyle to a plant-based lifestyle and then eventually stabilise this. Continue to expose yourself to the sun for about an hour a day. Join a yoga class and practise yoga and pranayama under a certified practitioner and practise yoga that is safe for your condition. Ensure that you eat raw for most of your day this will naturally thin down your blood and give the body a break from the fats so once all the oils start getting released from your body naturally, you will overtime be healed of your condition. heart is a very resilient, a very strong organ. It is one of the last organs to stop. It is designed to keep you alive. So much is the power of the heart. It has equally good stamina to spring back up when the conditions are ideal. From removing dairy, eggs, meat, fish, sugar, wholewheat maida, barley, any form of oils, all kinds of packaged foods that are ready to eat, practice mindful eating, chew your food as long as possible and swallow it. Avoid all form of screen time when you are connecting with your food. Avoid using salt for any of your raw meal except for dinner and reduce the quantity of that as well. Avoid using refined salt and use pink salt as minimally as possible. Greens like spinach have natural salt in them that can replace salts in any meal. Lime juice is a great substitute for salt. 

You have panicked because you didn’t have the right awareness and information. This happens naturally to everybody don’t fear. Now that you have the information take the right steps to correct your food habits and you can avoid that medication

Be blessed

Lifestyle changes help in reducing both your weight, and blood pressure. Eating raw fruits and vegetables provide the necessary fibre which helps in weight reduction and also provides the body all the essential package of vitamins, proteins, and minerals. Let's understand the reason behind your blood pressure and weight gain.

The arteries and veins carry blood to and away from the various organs. This blood has all the nutrients for your body to function optimally. This blood also exerts a pressure on your arteries , which is known as blood pressure. But, when due to either weight gain, stress, improper eating habits,the blood becomes thick, it exerts more than the required desirable pressure . this in turn leads to high blood pressure. Weight gain is again when the body is unable to maintain a hoemostatis and is unable to remove toxic waste materials from the body, then body stores all the extra food as fat for later use. Points to be taken care for both weight gain and blood pressure includes:

1. Remove all packed, processed food, since they contain huge amount of salt, sugar and undesirable fats.
2. Add more of raw fruits and vegetables to your regime . They act like scavengers and the fibre in them helps remove the undesirable fats.
3. Exposure to sunlight for atleast 30 mins daily. Helps in production of certain hormones which intern help the body to function optimally.
4. Remove all dairy, animal foods, oily and fried foods and replace it with few healthy nuts and seeds and whole grains which are unpolished .
5. Make exercise and physical activity along with yoga and deep breathing a part of your life to manage stress.

Wish you good health always!

Thank you
