    Millions Take This Blood Pressure Pill. Nobody Told Them About the Cough.

    Find out why Lisinopril gives you a cough and what to do about it. Learn why a Lisinopril cough isn’t caused by a problem with your lungs but by a buildup of certain chemicals in your airway. 0:00 Why does Lisinopril cause a cough? 0:47 ACE inhibitor side effects 1:53 Zinc for Lisinopril cough 4:14 Essential hypertension 4:51 Insulin and blood pressure 5:45 Potassium and high blood pressure 6:43 Magnesium and hypertension 👉 Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07 Lisinopril cough isn’t caused by a problem with your lungs, and there may be something that you can do about it. Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor, meaning it blocks the ACE enzyme. This enzyme helps raise blood pressure and also clears away an irritating chemical that can build up in your throat. ACE inhibitors are one of the most prescribed drugs in the world. Some people develop an ACE inhibitor cough, while others don’t. This may be related to zinc, a cofactor involved with the ACE enzyme. If you’re deficient in zinc, you’re more likely to develop an irritating cough. Research has shown that zinc can help relieve Lisinopril cough. The majority of hypertension is classified as essential, which means the cause is unknown. High blood pressure has been linked to high insulin, low potassium, and low magnesium. Alternatively, focus on lowering your blood pressure naturally to reduce the need for high blood pressure medication. Always check with your doctor before making changes to your prescribed medications.

    The #1 Healthiest Carb in the World

    Are all carbohydrates bad? Discover the safest carb in the world that won’t spike your blood sugar or insulin. Explore the connection between carbohydrates, blood sugar, and insulin, and what the glycemic index really means. 0:00 The safest carbohydrate 1:03 Types of carbohydrates 1:38 How carbs affect insulin 2:46 The glycemic index 4:22 What causes high insulin? 6:35 The safest carbohydrate in the world 7:47 The benefits of non-starchy vegetables 👉 Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/4fJA6Oj Carbohydrates are not all the same. They come in three forms: sugar, starch, and fiber. Starch is simply a chain of sugar molecules. Unlike sugar and starch, fiber cannot be digested by the body. Instead, it feeds the microbes in your gut and does not turn into sugar. People with insulin resistance often do not tolerate carbohydrates well. Insulin resistance is commonly linked to the chronic consumption of refined starches and refined sugar. The glycemic index ranks carbohydrates based on how quickly they raise blood sugar. Surprisingly, industrial starches can spike your blood sugar even more than table sugar. The safest carb in the world is very low on the glycemic index and won’t spike your blood sugar or insulin. Unlike other types of carbohydrates, the safest carb does not contribute to chronic illnesses like diabetes or a fatty liver.

    The REAL Cause of Erectile Dysfunction (& the #1 Exercise to Fix It)

    Erectile dysfunction isn’t always a testosterone problem, especially when symptoms begin early. Discover the underlying causes of erectile dysfunction and how addressing the root cause may help improve the problem. 👉 Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/4fJA6Oj 0:00 Early erectile dysfunction as a heart disease warning 1:12 Tests for heart health 3:08 Nitric oxide and erectile dysfunction 4:00 What suppresses nitric oxide? 4:25 The best exercise to fix erectile dysfunction 5:19 Other ways to support men’s health and reverse erectile dysfunction One of the earliest warning signs of heart problems can be erectile dysfunction. It often appears 3 to 5 years before heart disease because the blood vessels that supply an erection are narrower, so problems tend to show up there first. If you have erectile dysfunction or other warning signs of heart disease, the following tests can help assess your heart health: • CAC (coronary artery calcium) test • Ultrasound of the carotid arteries • Fasting insulin test If you still get erections during the night or early morning, you may not have a vascular problem. Testosterone drives libido, not the erection itself. Nitric oxide plays an important role in healthy erectile function, but nitric oxide levels naturally decline with age. Poorly controlled blood sugar, smoking, vaping, sleep apnea, chronic inflammation, certain medications, and a sedentary lifestyle can also decrease nitric oxide. If you have erectile dysfunction or any other warning signs of heart disease, it’s important to discuss them with your doctor.

    The #1 Exercise to Lower Blood Pressure (It Beats Cardio in 270 Studies)

    Can one exercise help lower blood pressure naturally? Discover a simple exercise that can help support healthy blood pressure and cardiovascular health. 👉 Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9  0:00 High blood pressure exercise 0:21 The wall sit exercise 0:45 High blood pressure in the US 1:00 Isometric exercise explained 3:09 High diastolic blood pressure 3:38 Benefits of lowering blood pressure 5:11 How can isometric exercise lower blood pressure naturally? 6:17 How to do the wall sit exercise 7:07 Wall sit exercise tips More than 50% of adults in the United States have high blood pressure, and many don’t know it. High blood pressure is often called the “silent killer” because it can go undetected. Research has shown that the wall sit is one of the best exercises to help reduce systolic blood pressure. A wall sit is an isometric exercise, meaning your muscles contract without movement. The wall sit exercise can lower systolic blood pressure by about 8 points, outperforming many other forms of exercise. If you have high diastolic blood pressure, cardio exercise may be more beneficial. Reducing high blood pressure may also lower your risk of: • Cardiovascular events • Coronary heart disease • Stroke • Heart failure • All-cause mortality To help support healthy blood pressure levels, perform 4 wall sits in a row, holding each for 2 minutes with a 2-minute rest between each set. Repeat this routine 3 times per week. Dr. Eric Berg, DC, Bio: Dr. Berg, DC, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

    The Dark Science Behind Food Addiction (It’s Not Your Fault)

    These dangerous ingredients shouldn’t be considered food. Discover why junk food addiction isn’t just an accident, how food engineering and artificial flavors influence cravings, and why some foods are designed to keep you coming back for more. 0:00 Dangerous food engineering 0:47 Artificial flavors explained 1:35 Microsalt engineering 2:48 Natural and artificial flavors explained 4:25 The blood sugar spike crash 4:45 Bliss point food science 6:37 Processed food dangers 7:50 How to avoid junk food 9:07 Food addiction and dopamine 👉 Get Dr. Berg’s Daily Routine as a free download: https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9  Download the FREE Dr. Berg Junk Food Meter App here: https://drbrg.co/4fzmLIg Apple Download:https://drbrg.co/4fPWDaW Android Download: https://drbrg.co/4pOFToV Junk food addiction isn’t an accident. It’s part of the design. Food manufacturers use food engineering, artificial flavors, and even texture and sound to make processed foods more appealing. Finely ground “microsalt” and carefully blended natural and artificial flavors are designed to deliver intense flavor and keep you coming back for more. Many ultra-processed foods are engineered to be highly palatable without providing lasting satisfaction, making it easy to keep eating without feeling truly satiated. Manufacturers even research the “bliss point” to optimize taste and encourage repeat consumption. Because these foods are designed to be difficult to resist, portion control can be a challenge. One of the simplest strategies is to avoid buying junk food in the first place and avoid grocery shopping when you’re hungry or tired.

    The #1 Predictor of How Fast You Age After 50 (& How to Fix It)

    Aging after 50 doesn’t have to be an uphill battle. Discover the single greatest marker of aging and longevity, how to work with your body to age gracefully, evidence-based longevity tips, and the critical role of mitochondrial health. 0:00 Aging gracefully after 50 0:38 VO2 max and longevity 1:26 Metabolic health explained 2:45 Aging biomarkers after 50 3:41 The truth about cholesterol and longevity 6:18 Genetics and aging 6:59 No energy for exercise 7:35 The top anti-aging supplements 8:28 Longevity tips Download Dr. Berg’s Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9  🛒 Shop our clean, keto-friendly spice blends: Foundation Pantry Live Fire Fajita & Grill Rub: https://drbrg.co/3RpFuwJ Foundation Pantry Metabolic Taco Seasoning: https://drbrg.co/4xeymlJ Aging after 50 doesn’t have to mean declining health. Research following more than 120,000 people over eight years found that VO2 max was one of the strongest predictors of longevity. VO2 max reflects how efficiently your mitochondria use oxygen to produce energy. Supporting metabolic health is essential for healthy aging. Even when plenty of fuel is available, your cells can’t produce energy efficiently if metabolic health is impaired. While high cholesterol is often viewed as a risk factor, research has linked higher total cholesterol with a lower risk of all-cause mortality. Although genetics influences aging, lifestyle plays a more significant role. Supplements can be beneficial, but it’s best to focus on meaningful changes to support longevity. Regular long walks are a great way to support mitochondrial health and a longer lifespan.

    Waking Up to Pee at Night? The Problem Starts During the Day

    If you’re dealing with frequent urination at night, it’s probably not linked to prostate or bladder health. Find out how to prevent nighttime urination by addressing the real root cause so you can finally sleep through the night. 0:00 Urinating at night and bladder health 0:43 Why do I wake up to pee at night? 1:22 Edema and frequent urination at night 4:43 Waking up to pee causes 5:55 How to prevent nighttime urination 🌟 Download Dr. Berg’s Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/4db5q5V Frequent urination at night is often more than just a bladder or prostate problem. Many people produce one to two cups of urine overnight, and much of this fluid comes from what was consumed earlier in the day, not just before bed. By age 80, nighttime urination affects most adults. One possible clue is fluid retention, which is often associated with elevated glucose and insulin rather than simply drinking too much water or eating too much salt. An edema test and a fasting insulin test can help identify underlying issues. Gravity also plays a role. Fluid that accumulates in the legs during the day can return to the bloodstream while you sleep, increasing urine production overnight. Sleep apnea and certain medications can also contribute to frequent nighttime urination.
