Don't you mean what healthy people do Patty? I been on a near keto diet for years. Only meat and vegetables for me with fruit whenever it is in season. I cut out all grains nearly a decade ago.
There are many herbs and foods on the market that lower blood pressure. I'm starting to believe that high blood pressure, like high cholesterol is misunderstood by mainstream medicine. It is generally accepted by alternative medicine now that high cholesterol is not the cause but instead is the body's defense against stress. Much like lots of firemen indicates the high probability of a fire, removing the firemen does not decrease the likelihood of a fire unless you first remove the causes, like the dead wood in the forest or those flammable chemicals in your garage.
When it comes to blood pressure the latest alternative theories are that the body patches arteries with cholesterol when they become weak and brittle. Much like cleaning up the dead wood in a forest, if you clean up the dead cells in you arteries and manage you nutrition to build them up strong and disease free and strong, you wont need the cholesterol to patch them up.
Dr. Berg does keto right. He eats meat, healthy fats and 7 to 10 cups of raw leafy vegetables. If you try and do keto and skip the vegetables and instead have a slice of bread for your carbs like most people doing keto, you are setting yourself up for disaster. The reason keto works is not because of the low carbs but because of the nutrition you get from eating unprocessed, natural foods.
Make Trona great again!
