This is an excellent book for those of us with high blood pressure. All we have to do is use the recipes it has in it (which are plentiful) and not eat fast food, and our weight should go down and concomitantly our blood pressure! Excellent menues.

This book is good, but I wish there was more variety. Have not tried any recipes yet, but there are some on my "to try" list. This contains a lot of common sense.

This book and the recipes are good for people wanting to lower their
blood pressure.

I have used these ideas in this book and adapted them to other recipes my family love.

I reccommend this book to help people stay healthy.
