CHEAP Ingredient Lowers Blood Pressure in 5 Minutes (Banana Secret) | Dr. Lisa Parker

A fast, low-cost tweak can help calm blood pressure—**starting today**. In this video, *Dr. Lisa Parker* explains the simple *“banana + water + breathing”* routine that supports healthy blood pressure in minutes, plus how to use it safely if you’re 50+.

If your numbers creep up when you’re stressed, stiff, or dehydrated, this gives you a practical reset you can repeat daily—no fancy supplements.

What you’ll learn:

*Why bananas help:* potassium–sodium balance, hydration, and vascular relaxation
The *5-minute “banana reset”* you can do anytime (morning, pre-walk, or mid-afternoon)
The best time to use it (post-salt meal, high-stress moments, travel days)
Simple add-ons that compound the effect (magnesium-rich foods, walking, breathwork)
*Safety first:* who should *not* use this trick and when to talk to your doctor

Quick-start (Dr. Parker’s 5-minute routine):

1. *Hydrate (60 sec):* 10–12 oz water.
2. *Banana (60–90 sec):* 1 small/medium banana (or ~¾ cup potassium-rich swap like coconut water or baked potato if you dislike bananas).
3. *Slow breathing (90 sec):* inhale 4s, exhale 6s × 9–10 cycles.
4. *Gentle movement (60–90 sec):* easy hallway/yard walk or calf pumps if seated.
5. *Posture check (15 sec):* shoulders down, jaw loose, long exhale.

Make it smarter:

Pair with a *10–20 minute walk* after your largest meal.
Add *leafy greens, beans, yogurt* to raise daily potassium from food.
Keep **salt discretionary**: taste your food before salting; use herbs/citrus.
If you use a home cuff, measure *after* the routine, seated, feet flat, arm at heart level.

Who should **be cautious or skip**:

*Kidney disease**, **Addison’s disease**, or known **high potassium (hyperkalemia)*
On *ACE inhibitors, ARBs, potassium-sparing diuretics, or potassium supplements*
If you follow a **potassium-restricted diet**, use a different snack (e.g., apple + water) and focus on the breathing/movement steps

Pro tips:

Consistency beats perfection—use the reset *1–2× daily* on busy or salty days.
Don’t chase it with high-salt snacks.
Track a simple *7-day log* (time of day, snack, BP reading) to see your pattern.

Small habit, real support. Give your heart and vessels a calm signal—cheap, fast, repeatable.
