S1E17: Blood Pressure, Body Fat, and Sodium
About this episode
I'm going to explain the interaction between blood pressure, body fat, and sodium by explaining the all important RAAS (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system). Understanding this system can help you optimize blood pressure, heart, and overall vascular health. We'll discuss the following:
- Understanding how RAAS works
- How body fat interacts with RAAS
- Why sodium is not the root cause of high blood pressure
- The connection between insulin resistance and RAAS
- Lifestyle measures to effectively reduce blood pressure
