If you went from ten grams of fiber to forty a day, you could expect your elevated blood pressure to go down an additional 16.8 / 12.6 (-16.8 / -12.6). As a rule, this sort of nutritional intervention shouldn’t reduce blood pressure below normal bounds, unlike drugs.
Soluble fiber is what can be converted to short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). These are what migrate inside us and help with blood pressure and other functions. They are byproducts of bacteria.
Another name for the products could be “germ poo.”
Do note this likely won’t help much with soft or hard plaques, but should work, despite their presence.
Drake said, “I kept asking why. Why can’t she come? Because she’s wearing a dress. There were other transgender students in there not wearing their birth gender attire. What is wrong with this issue? And he kept saying, ‘I told her yesterday.’”
That other transgender students were at the prom may be the downfall of the Principal.
What are examples of this “dietary fiber”? Does that mean it only my comes from actual food, or can it come from supplements like psyllium?
Bran cereal, potatoes, prunes,...?

It still goes back to a fundamental problem: Is blood pressure a CAUSE of a problem, or a possible SYMPTOM of a problem?
Will reducing one’s blood pressure 10 points do ANYTHING to prevent heart attacks if there is no plaque inside the arteries? Or is blood pressure a possible SYMPTOM of plague in the arteries, and become a reason to see if it is due to plaque (potentially dangerous) or not?
Also, what is a valid blood pressure goal? The SPRINT trials resulted in SOME organizations in the USA saying 120 is the goal for all people - but was the SPRINT trial valid for all people (answer: no). There is a reason the European countries rejected it - the damn trial was virtually designed to put as many people as possible onto blood pressure medications!
And if you accept the SPRINT trial, then 90% of all people eventually “need” blood pressure medicines and STILL won’t be able to achieve that goal.
In fact, after the trial ended, most participants showed their blood pressure went back up, and only half were able during the trial to achieve those goals while using 4 medicines at once!
Meanwhile, do high fiber diets have any issues? Why, yes. They tend to cause bowel problems.
But the fundamental problem with reducing blood pressure is that it is a possible symptom of something wrong, not a cause. And if it is a symptom of something wrong, and you treat the symptom, you have done NOTHING to solve the problem!
