Blood Pressure

Blood pressure measures the force of blood against artery walls, recorded as two numbers: systolic (during heartbeats) over diastolic (between beats), like 120/80 mmHg. High blood pressure often goes hand-in-hand with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. Interestingly, when people reduce carbohydrates and insulin levels drop, blood pressure often improves naturally—sometimes requiring medication adjustments within days. This connection between insulin and blood pressure is rarely discussed but well-documented in research.
