Lower Your Blood Pressure Naturally: Drop Pounds and Slash Your Blood Pressure in 6 Weeks Without Drugs Hardcover – July 1, 2014

Easy for me to use.The eating is part of the plan. The rest is exercise, yoga, relaxation exercises. It all works.The first week I had to go out and get a lot of spices I do not usually use and make spice combos.. I did not make them all, as it turns out.I made a few and have used them often. I am now on week 2. NOT following it 100%, more like 75%. They want you to eat 4 "meals" a day, granted that some are shakes, but I cannot be in the kitchen that often to do the four times.I feel better. I have not taken my bp because my doc does not want me to take it right now... just do the diet..... so I am. I cannot take any blood pressure med, and my bp has risen. So I have to get my body in better bp shape, and this is how I choose to do it. What is so good about it is that there is a PLAN, a flexible choice plan to follow. Someone said this was not any different than any other lower your bp diet... maybe so, but the plan and the recipes are very helpful to me.You definitely eat healthily on this diet, and most of the recipes taste good. They also make suggestions for when you go out to eat or if you have to have a quick meal a la freezer.. ex. Healthy Choice and the like foods. So the bases are covered. Back to the gym Monday. I had to curtail that not because of the diet, but will be back at it next week. Try this diet. I have it on my Kindle.

Considering that I read a lot of books on nutrition, I would have to say that this is a very good book. I am much harder on myself than the author suggests for lowering one's blood pressure. I sense that if I had followed the suggestions in this book, my blood pressure may not have come down as low as it has come down (and remains down). But it is a very good book for someone just starting to manage their health. I do get some good recipes that I am using but I omit the salt and the food still tastes good. However, if one must have their salt, they would love the recipes in this book. I learned that, by not adding salt to my food, I need to get my iodine from somewhere else. To compensate, I have started eating more iodine rich foods, like pacific cod. All in all, the recipes are very good. I have done the exercises in the book, but my exercise of choice is walking 30 to 45 minutes four to five days a week. I'm glad I ordered the book.

The book does a great job explaining strategies for lowering BP. It also gives you a 6 week plan. The only downside was that the link for forms to keep track of your meals, BP, and exercise did not work.

I found this book very informative and easy to read. I could not wait to start the plan. This book describes one of the first plans that contained recipes that I actually want to continue using. It also outlines a plan that I can continue. I really wanted to get off of my blood pressure medication, and this book gave me the foundation for a solid action plan to work towards that.

Have started using the suggestions for diet but not reduced the BP yet.May take a bit longer than 5 days.

I have been working my way through this book. It really DOES do what the title says. My blood pressure has dropped, and I have already lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks. The recipes are DELICIOUS, too.

This book is a keeper, filled with great information!

Pretty basic science with several great recipes for smoothies, etc.
