This book has a motivating format for controlling high blood pressure and maintaining weight. The DASH diet information is wonderful---the food is delicious and healthful. I can honestly see myself eating this way the rest of my life. The information on stress relief and exercise is also very well-written.

I found this book to be a summary of all the collective knowledge I have previously obtained on the subject of high blood pressure. I purchased the book looking forward to following their suggested eating plan, however, the receipes do not contain any information with respect to number of servings, calories, sodium content, fat content, etc. You never quite know if that Spinach Pie you just wolfed down was meant to be shared amongst 2 or 6 people. Because of this, I had to give up as I just don't have the time to calculate appropriate servings size, etc.

This is an excellent book on natural ways to deal with high blood pressure. I picked up this book and 5 other books at my local library after I went to the dentist and found that I was running high. 2 out of the 7 books really pushed for seeking natural means to mild hypertention while the others advocated the pharmacudical companies. I am a african american nurse and I was so fascinated with the information that fruits and vegetables high in potassium decrease the sodium, thus decreasing high blood pressure in salt sensitive subjects (most blacks). This in turn decreases glaucoma, kidney disease, stroke. A lot of studies showed proof that the medical society was and is aware of this. I remember a few years ago when I was being tested for glaucoma that I asked the opthamologist if hypertension was linked and he said he didn't know. Period, end of discussion. He wanted to finish his expensive field test and prescribe expensive eye drops and make numerous appointments. Likewise the primary doctor only wanted to immediately prescibe medications that would in turn create other health conditions that would need more prescription for life. I didn't want to travel that way and retire with medication bills over my head. I learnt that just ommitting sodium is not enough and I need to buy low-sodium products in the grocery aisle. I even printed 4 pages and made a poster for my school staff. I will order 10 books and give to relatives. Great 30-Day Hypertensive Diet Plan. I want to keep this book on my nightstand! Excellent and easy to read and to the point.

The reader with high blood pressure will probably benefit by reading and applying the suggestions in this book. Some of the remedies will be helpful and help avoid or put off the need to pay a physician to write expensive prescriptions. It will certainly reveal some of the causes of high blood pressure. It is a must read for any lay person with hypertension (starting at 140/95) or pre-hypertension (130/90).

This book is very interesting in letting you know ways of controlling your blood pressure naturally without using prescriptoon drugs for such cause. This is good to try when the doctor gives you a chance to try lowering your blood pressure before any prescription drugs are given. If you follow what is said in this book, chances are great you will be able to do without medication. Warning if you are already on blood pressure medicine keep on the medicine until the doctor keeps lowering our medicine and then with his knowledge and approval then try the methods in this book.

Anyone who thinks they HAVE to take dangerous high blood pressure medication to rid themselves of high BP---think again! This book tells you exactly how to get your BP down. So worth the few bucks to find out what it is you need to do!

Using the techniques in this book can really improve your health, wealth and sex-drive. Now what else could a person desire. Cut back on meds that cause all kinds of side effects while cutting back on this expense and improving your libido. Getting more exercise, also improving your libido.
