Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting

Today I want to share with you the number one cause of hypertension. Hypertension is classified into two different categories.

1. Primary or essential hypertension:
About 95% of hypertension cases have an unknown cause. It could be related to a person’s lifestyle, but there is also data that points to having too much insulin (hyperinsulinemia) as being behind this issue. With too much insulin, a person will also have insulin resistance.

2. Secondary hypertension:
Typically comes from kidney disease, a tumor, etc.

High insulin could potentially cause hypertension because high insulin stimulates the autonomic nervous system (primarily the sympathetic nervous system). This situation could raise a person’s blood pressure and also cause the arteries to become very stiff. This could lead to hypertension.

A few causes of hypertension
1. Hyperinsulinemia
2. Low potassium
3. Low vitamin D
4. Low magnesium
5. Low vitamin K2

Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting could potentially help a person with hyperinsulinemia and also help support a healthy lifestyle. Intermittent fasting may have a greater impact on lowering insulin, but the combination of Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting seems to work best.
