This is the 2nd in a 3-video series. Be sure to watch the first one: What the New Blood Pressure Range Guidelines Mean (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-the-new-blood-pressure-range-guidelines-mean) to understand on the importance of achieving ideal (not “normal”!) blood pressures, and stay tuned for Fasting to Naturally Reverse High Blood Pressure (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fasting-to-naturally-reverse-high-blood-pressure) to see if the case report I detailed here was a fluke when fasting was finally put to the test.
