You may have heard that "the cause of high blood pressure is unknown," but Dr. Eric Berg reveals that 95% of high blood pressure cases are "primary hypertension," meaning there is no clear medical cause . However, insulin resistance, potassium deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, and imbalanced breathing patterns can all be the real culprits. Hong Kong people lead stressful lives, consume high-sugar diets, and have low vegetable intake, resulting in a very high risk of high blood pressure, but this can be improved naturally .

🧠The real cause of hypertension: autonomic nervous system and insulin resistance
1. Overactive nervous system due to stress (sympathetic nervous system )
· Increased vascular pressure and faster heartbeat
· Affected by "stress, low sodium, insulin resistance"
2. Insulin resistance
· High-sugar, high-carbohydrate diets → insulin spikes → decreased cellular response
· Causes metabolic syndrome: high blood pressure, fatty liver, high blood sugar, high cholesterol
3. Potassium deficiency ( Hypokalemia )
· Potassium can relax blood vessels and regulate baroreceptors .
· Recommended daily intake: 4,700 mg potassium
· You need to eat 7–10 cups of vegetables every day to get enough
4. Vitamin D deficiency
· Vitamin D helps regulate the autonomic nervous system and blood pressure.
· It is recommended to supplement or get some sunlight to increase the concentration .
❌ Could a low-sodium diet actually raise blood pressure ?
· Insufficient sodium → Increased stress nerve activity → Increased blood pressure
· Simultaneously inhibiting the parasympathetic nervous system → decreased relaxation ability.
· Recommendation: Do not excessively restrict sodium intake; potassium supplementation should be done simultaneously.
✅ Immediate blood pressure reduction method: Paced Breathing
Operating instructions :
1. Breathing 6 times per minute (each inhalation and exhalation lasts 5 seconds ).
2. Inhale through your nose and breathe through your chest , avoiding forced or abdominal breathing.
3. Relax and don't tense up or hold your breath.
4. Practice several times a day , such as while driving, riding in a car, or before bed.
Effect :
· Synchronized baroreceptors
· Reduced sympathetic nerve activity → lower blood pressure
· Improve oxygen saturation, exercise endurance, and cardiorespiratory function
· Reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality
🥗Dietary recommendations: Low-carb + High-potassium + Vitamin D supplementation
| project | Recommended approach |
| Potassium intake | 7–10 cups of vegetables, avocado, spinach, and electrolyte powder daily |
| Sodium intake | Moderate amount of sea salt, avoid excessive restriction |
| Vitamin D | Sun exposure or daily supplementation with 10,000 IU |
| Dietary patterns | Low-carb diet, no sugar, no refined starch |
| Breathing exercises | Practice rhythmic breathing techniques daily ( 6 times/minute). |
🧾Conclusion: High blood pressure doesn't come without a cause; knowing how to manage it is the key to true health.
Hong Kong people face high stress levels, consume high-sugar diets, and have low vegetable intake. High blood pressure is not just an age-related issue, but also a reflection of lifestyle . Starting today, a salad, a vitamin D capsule, and a rhythmic breathing exercise can help lower your blood pressure threshold !
Stop relying on medication to suppress it. Knowing how to regulate your breathing and regulate your body is the key to true health! 💪🌿
