Can dandelion root tea help lower blood pressure? 🌿

Yes. Absolutely.

It may offer mild support, mainly because dandelion can act as a gentle diuretic, helping the body release extra water and sodium.

Who may consider it?
Healthy adults with mildly elevated blood pressure who want to add a supportive herbal tea to an overall heart-healthy routine. Not those with critical numbers or experiencing symptoms.

Loose leaf or tea bag?
Both are fine. Choose a product that clearly lists dandelion root and avoid “detox” blends with multiple unknown ingredients. Roasted root has a richer, coffee-like taste.

How fast does it work?
Some people may notice increased urination within a few hours, but dandelion root tea has not been proven to lower blood pressure quickly or consistently. So use it as an adjunct only.

Other helpful options:
Hibiscus tea has stronger evidence for blood-pressure support. Also focus on less sodium, more potassium-rich foods, regular movement, good sleep and taking prescribed medication as directed.

Check with your healthcare professional first if you take diuretics, blood thinners, diabetes medication or blood-pressure medication, or if you have kidney disease, are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Here is what I eat in a week…

With HungryRoot. Wearing so many different hats with so much to do does not mean I skip out on eating healthy meals. I keep it fun, creative and flavorful. There are recipes included in every box that are helpful but I don’t always follow them, most times I freestyle on the stove to make something I know will taste good on my palette! But you can do whatever works for you of course. Check out what fueled me this week!

I’m partnering with to show you how simple it can be and to also give you their highest discount available. 40% off your order with the code ADAEZE40. The highest available, from yours truly ♥️

Now here is what I love about HungryRoot:

As a busy mother, wife, physician and content creator... who wants to eat healthy and delicious foods when I don’t have the time to grocery shop and meal plan - HungryRoot comes in handy.

They have recipe ideas, new foods and brands, fresh fruits and vegetables and even all the fish I love to eat. The boxes practically build myself once I let it know what I like or don’t like… I don’t have to put any thought into after a while.

Delivered to my doorstep right on time. All I have to do is open the door and open a box.

Are you wasting your money on electrolytes? Do you really need them? Are you one of these groups that should be adding extra electrolytes to your diet?

Well look at the salt content first… (cough, cough).

One very common question I get is: “what’s the best electrolytes to take?”

And to be honest, my response is… most people don’t need extra electrolytes. There are occasions where I highly recommend it… and you will know by the end of this video.

Don’t let companies convince you that you need their products when your money could be better spent elsewhere!

Next we can talk about more natural ways to get electrolytes.

This is not medical advice. It’s medical information with a twist of humor. We learn and have fun here :) toodles.

These are gems and they may work for you. I’ve got more so just let me know if you want a complete list and I will get it to you.

There are so many reasons you are taking supplements… month after month… and cannot see any of the changes you want.

Iron is a good one to pick on, there are people who have been on iron for YEARS without their iron levels changing… still anemic. There is a better way, so watch this video!

And a word about magnesium, please do your research to see what you need. Citrate is perfectly fine, I like it and take it too… but for different reasons when I need it.

Which supplements have you had to switch?
