Duke University MD Reveals the #1 Green Juice to Lower High Blood Pressure Naturally Dear Reader, Follow me down the produce aisle. There, for about three dollars a week, you will find a crisp, hydrating vegetable that can be juiced in minutes. Emerging science shows this single green juice can rival – and often outperform – common ACE‑inhibitor drugs, yet it is 100 percent natural and free of the cough, dizziness and swelling that drive so many people off prescription pills. The Urgency of Taming the “Silent Killer” High blood pressure is called the silent killer for a reason. It lurks...

When my patients come to me with blood pressure higher than 120/80… I tell them to start drinking this hydrating juice every morning: You can buy bucketfuls of these ingredients for less than $3. Yet one 74-year-old patient who started drinking it daily… Dropped his BP numbers from 150/80… down to 116/76. He didn’t start exercising, adjust his diet, or change his meds. All he did was start drinking this juice every morning at 6am. (And it probably saved his life.) As a medical doctor for over 22 years, I tell all my high BP patients: >> This is the...

The Masters Athlete’s Recovery Playbook (part 1) Introduction Continuing to compete beyond the traditional peak years is both an art and a science. The body still responds to training stimuli, but the recovery window lengthens and small errors in nutrition or sleep carry a disproportionate cost. This guide unpacks the physiology behind age‑related recovery shifts and then lays out a practical, evidence‑informed roadmap that blends nutrition, targeted supplementation, breath‑driven mitochondrial conditioning, thermal stress, and data‑guided pacing. The goal is simple: preserve top‑end power while compressing the downtime between hard sessions. Why Recovery Changes After Forty Muscle protein synthesis remains robust...

  Voltage, Water, and Longevity — A 21st-Century Map of Cellular Health 0 Prologue: Why Another 5 000 Words on pH? The term “pH” first appeared in 1909, a shorthand that allowed chemists to quantify hydrogen ion activity with a single number. That number became so entrenched in medicine that even in 2025 most health practitioners still frame metabolism as a tug-of-war between “acid” and “alkaline.” Yet life is not a static pool of chemistry; it is a dynamic electrical orchestra. Every hydrogen ion carries a positive charge and every hydroxide ion carries a negative charge, so any shift in pH is...
