- That's right.
Somebody mentioned Brad by the way,
my poor wife she is always
being portrayed on these few things
that having something wrong with her and (mumbles).
- Yeah.
- I started thinking about that
cause she's so lucky she has me.
I'm fixing her all the time.
So, - Yeah, she is a lucky woman.
- Bob, I'll point out something at the end
why she isn't so lucky,
But, so my wife's blood pressure was pushing towards
140 over 90 which is kind of
that borderline, you know - Yep.
they start looking at whether or not
do we do medication or not.
And especially at appointments cause she has a
white coat syndrome.
- Right, it goes up a little bit when you're nervous.
- You're nervous in front of the doctor.
But even that is still I guess still indicative
that you may have blood pressure problems.
- Sure.
- So, we took her measurements,
and this was in February of 2019,
and she was like obsessive about this.
So she had like, - Her blood pressure.
her blood pressure, yeah.
And so (laughs), so anyway we, she took like
she was taking like ten measurements a day.
She was like getting obsessed with it (mumbles).
- Yeah.
- But a average it was running like 138 over 83,
all the way up to 141 over 92.
- Now did she use one of those electric ones or--
- She used used one of those electric ones.
- Okay.
- But is was one that we tried versus a real one.
- Yeah.
- And it worked well.
- When you say real, like a manual?
- A manual one right.
So it seemed to work pretty well.
- (mumbles)
- We'll come back to this.
- Okay.
- So it way high.
So I'd read the book, and I've mentioned this book before,
"How Not To Die", discover foods, scientifically proven,
to prevent and reverse disease.
So this is by Michael Greger MD.
This has had about when I last looked 3200 reviews.
4.8 stars.
- Wow.
- Really well liked.
- Yep.
- Very well researched.
They've got a website, (mumbles) website.
Nutritionfacts.org,
and they got videos on over 2000 health subjects,
but all proceeds he makes from this brand,
from his DVD's, his books, his speaking engagements
are donated to charity.
- Oh really.
- This is an upstanding man.
- Sure.
- So, and so let's talk about what food he recommends
in here and what food he does not.
First off, he does, he said, "The evidence is overwhelming,
"that sodium raises blood pressure".
- Sure.
- It's clear.
Cause it is controversial because there are other people
that still say that it doesn't.
- Sure.
- And but he said, "No".
And my wife found this out cause she was
trying to lose some weight, she was taking
some of that soup broth.
- Yeah.
- You know, which is really high in sodium.
- Sure.
- Her blood pressure, like skyrocketed.
- Yeah, tastes good though.
- It tastes great, yeah.
Cause its got a lot of salt in it.
So, did stop that
but that was before this February (mumble) thing.
- Yeah, okay.
- That was way before that,
so this didn't play a roll into that.
But the one food to use, the one thing he recommends is.
Where is it?
- It's behind you over there.
- Oh my gosh.
- Yeah, Liz moved it.
I didn't do it.
- (laugh) We've got flax seed, ground flax seed.
So, I'm going to show
that in a minute. - It looks like apple sauce.
- Look that is applesauce.
So all she does, is she takes the flax seed.
She takes two tablespoons a day.
- And you can just buy this any where huh?
Pretty common. - Yep, yep it's common,
at the grocery store,
you can get it - Online sure.
online too of course.
- It just looks like a little ground up powdery stuff.
- Yeah, yeah, so she takes it,
and she puts it in unsweetened applesauce,
is one way she does it.
And she just puts two tablespoons in there and eats it.
- Yep.
- And it's like taking your medicine, and it tastes good.
So--
- Can you just put it in other foods too?
- You can put it in everything.
She also puts it in nonfat Greek yogurt sometimes,
and then she puts berries in with it too.
- Sure.
So--
- So you're saying that the book
shows some scientific proof.
- Yep, it has some studies.
So the book had a study on flax seed oil,
and the study showed that the average person
they lowered it from their scores are 158 over 81.
They dropped especially the systolic.
The systolic drops an average of seven points.
From 81 to 75.
- I think that's diastolic.
Diastolic, systolic, systolic, diastolic got it, got it.
- T for down (laugh).
- Yep, okay.
- That's how I remember it.
- All right, so anyway, yeah thanks.
Drops seven points, anyway this is
what the study shown. - Yeah, it's very clear.
Now my wife, she had much better results.
- Oh really!
- She had actually dropped to,
I'm going to reveal it here Brad.
- Oh.
- Can you hold it just for a minute.
- Yep, I'll hold.
- So she went down to, look at this Brad.
- Oh, suspense.
- Yeah, oh that's not right.
- I hope not.
(laughing)
She could have a stroke if she's at that number.
- Hey ya, here we go, there we go.
Does that make more sense?
- Yeah.
- So, she dropped all the way down to like 120 over 70's.
- Yes, so from here, what was this number again?
- That, this kind of the range she was in.
So she was hitting, - Oh I see.
140 over 92 sometimes. - Yeah.
So she dropped like 20 points.
- Yeah, that's nice.
So how long did she need to take this?
- This was February,
I mean we started seeing it fairly quickly,
but now we are in, what are we in,
September now, right now? - Yeah,
And so, this is where she's at right now.
- Okay.
- Interestingly enough, and this is where
maybe it's not so good living with me.
So what, she was, we were kinda tracking over the weekends
how she was doing and there was one weekend
where I was gone.
- Yeah.
And (laughing) she was like--
- The blood pressure went way down?
- She's like 110 over 60's.
- Oh (laughing).
- It's like, it's like it used to be like, really, like,
almost-- - almost before she met you.
Before, well...I don't know.
Before we spent a lot of time together so.
- Yeah.
- Sorry Linda, you know.
I'm you know, it's the medical price you have
to pay for living with me, so.
But anyways, this is such an easy solution.
- Yep.
- I mean, I'd certainly give it a try
if I well yah I mean if you can avoid taking medications
just by taking a food, this would be it.
- And is it very expensive
or is it pretty reasonable? - No, no.
- It's reasonable, I don't remember what it was,
but it wasn't that much, so.
- Maybe I should I should just take some right now?
- There you go.
Take some right now.
- Oh it's sealed up (mumbles).
- All right.
Thanks everybody for watching.
