Welcome to today’s one-minute health update. Did you know that “high blood pressure is not a disease”? That’s the shocking insight from nutrition expert Eric Berg. Instead of blaming salt or prescribing pills, he says the real culprit is insulin. Every time we overload on sugar and refined carbs, our bodies pump out insulin. High insulin makes the kidneys hold on to sodium, and that extra sodium raises blood pressure.

The good news? You can reverse this naturally. Start by cutting back on sugars and starchy foods. Load up on potassium-rich choices like avocados and leafy greens, and boost magnesium with nuts, seeds, and dark chocolate. Stay hydrated and consider a mineral supplement if you need an extra push.

By addressing “the root cause of hypertension rather than just treating the symptoms,” you’ll see your numbers drop—and discover that healthy blood pressure really starts on your plate.
