Certain supplements like fish oil, probiotics, melatonin, green tea, ginger, potassium, and Coenzyme Q10 may help lower blood pressure. Hope this helps girl!!! ❤️✨

Foods like grapefruit and licorice can interfere with certain medications used for heart conditions and high blood pressure. Similarly, supplements like St. John's wort and ginseng may weaken the effects of various medications. It's crucial to discuss these interactions with healthcare professionals to ensure safe use of medications and supplements.

Diabetes and high BP are lifestyle diseases, their precursor is usually insulin resistance. It’s when our diet has a very high glucose load leading to elevated levels of insulin that our bodies eventually become resistant to and as a result, blood glucose levels begin to stay high. Blood sugar leads to a lot of stress on our organs and system. But as with every lifestyle disease, it’s reversible. You can enroll in our three-month functional medicine program to reverse it or at least begin by making these changes As soon as possible: 1. Reduce glucose load by removing sugar, and added sugar, and since you’re already diabetic stop fruits too in all forms for three months. 2. Increase protein intake significantly, aim for 1gm per kg of body weight. And dal, legumes are not protein, they are carbs. 3. Start steady-state cardio and aim to get 200 min a week 4. Make sure you’re having enough healthy fats. 5. Start omega 3 supplements 6. Ensure to get 7-7.5 hours of sleep each night.

Hi there, I hope you are well. Diabetes and Hypertension can occur together in some individuals. Ideally, hypertension can happen in diabetic individuals if the blood sugar levels remain high, and affect the kidneys. An effect on the kidneys can lead to water retention, and may ultimately impact your blood pressure levels. Diabetes and hypertension can happen in people who have - A sedentary lifestyle -obesity -inflammation -unhealthy gut -insulin resistance -oxidative stress. How can you deal with it ? - Add more fresh fruits, and vegetables. - Include anti-inflammatory foods such as fatty fish, berries, nuts, seeds, millets, to the diet. - Reduce your salt, sugar, and oil consumption. - Maintain a healthy weight. - Avoid ultra processed, refined, and packaged foods. - Exercise for at least 15-20mins, 4 times a week ( talk to the doc once). - Include high fibre foods, such as wholegrains, beans,lentils. - Avoid excessive caffeine intake. - Avoid alcohol, and smoking :) Take care.

Hi there, I hope you are well. In order to reduce the chances of having diabetes, here's what you can do. - Bring a change in your lifestyle as it is the topmost priority. - Add enough fibre to the diet as it can balance blood sugar levels. Fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, millets, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, etc. - Ensure to take protein because it can help with normalizing sugar levels, and keeping your lipid levels in check. Beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, dairy and dairy products, lean meat , eggs are a great choice. - Good fats such as nuts, seeds, avocado, fatty fish, olive oil can provide satiety and keep a tab on your blood sugar levels. It can prevent sugar spikes. - Reduce your caffeine intake, and alcohol intake. - Avoid ultra processed, packaged, and refined foods. - Move more :) workout for at least 4-5 times in a week. - Manage stress with yoga and meditation. - Sleep well, it is important to keep diabetes at bay :) Take care ✨
