so recently I had a question that someone wanted to know is it okay to do Kido and in a minute fasting if you have a heart condition okay and this is a big fat yes in fact you’re gonna get a heart condition if you don’t do Kido in a minute fasting if you do the typical high carbs you’re gonna get a heart problem let’s talk about why because in the chain of events that occurs before you get a buildup of cholesterol there’s always damage to the epithelial lining on the inside of the arteries okay and what damages that is high blood sugar and high insulin okay so those two things will damage the wall the cholesterol comes in as a band-aid same thing with the calcium in the protein fibrin it comes in there to help heal it so it’s not the bad guy it’s just there to heal it and of course the person because they’re consuming too many carbohydrates they’re gonna have high cholesterol because those turning to sugar and then sugar is converted to high cholesterol okay but that’s okay because you can take a drug for that and lower it it’s called a statin but the problem with statins is it causes insulin resistance and more insulin so it keeps feeding itself but then what happens the arteries get stiff and the calcium builds up and then of course you don’t have the elasticity so there goes the blood pressure so now we have high blood pressure okay but that’s okay we have a diuretic we can put you on well the problem with the diuretics is they deplete potassium also they will increase insulin and cause insulin resistance as well so it feeds itself as well and if you don’t have enough potassium it’s going to be really hard to fix this blood sugar problem because people with high blood sugars and insulin resistance always have a potassium deficiency in the first place and by taking potassium you can actually improve that condition and stabilize the blood sugars a lot better and the blood sugar and insulin problem will also cause high blood pressure because it’s been the hardened arteries make the arteries very inelastic so there’s no expansion but no problem because we have we can put you in a diuretic okay to reduce the blood volume and the pressure should come down because it increases your risk for insulin resistant so therefore causing more insulin and propelling the problem further and also creates a deficiency of potassium which you need to actually fix insulin resistance okay and if it’s gonna pull up potassium guess what you’re going to retain salt so there goes the pressure as well now if you have arrhythmia as for example that’s usually a potassium or a magnesium or an electrolyte deficiency and of course if you have a heart problem you usually have insulin resistance which means you can’t absorb potassium that well okay that’s one of the functions of insulin is to help you absorb these minerals and this complicates and worsens this problem right here so you can see that being on a keto a healthy keto diet with a lot of vegetables it’s very important and intimate fasting that can drop insulin and help heal it the combination is very powerful to heal the situation so you can eventually come off of these with the help of your doc okay all right thanks for watching hey before you go definitely sign up for my free keto course I put a link down below it’s on messenger in Facebook but it will give you all the basics it’s very quick it’s like three or four videos and it’s free check it out
