What kind of diet one should follow to sort out blood pressure problems?

Foods laden with potassium, calcium and omega3 is good for hypertension patients. Bananas, watermelons, pears, figs, peanuts, raisins oranges and cooked spinach, canned tomatoes, baked potatoes and skimmed milk and yoghurt. The vitamin D in it further helps to relieve one’s blood pressure.

Any low fat dairy products such as skimmed milk, or almonds, turnips, greens, broccoli are known foods to be high in calcium.

If you have high blood pressure then you should go on a very low sodium diet. Salt is the worst thing you can have if you have high blood pressure so you don't want alot of it in your diet.

The National Institutes of Health, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, and the American Heart Association all recommend the DASH Diet for people suffering from hypertension. Mahalo's page on the DASH Diet provides information and links you can use for more information. mahalo.com/dash-diet.

All your need is a natural diet which is composed of drinking water and eating lots of healthy fruits and vegetables.

To make it easier to remember: low sodium,low-fat diet, reducing meat consumption, limiting alcohol boosting potassium and calcium intake eating more vegetables, fruits and whole grains.

If you fall into the prehypertension range (120–139/80–89), your doctor will likely recommend lifestyle modifications, including losing excess weight, exercising, limiting alcohol, cutting back on salt, quitting smoking, and following the DASH diet. You can read about the DASH diet here health.yahoo.com/ency/healthwise/zp3284/... If you have high blood pressure, (140–159/90–99) and you do not have any organ damage or other risk factors for heart disease, your doctor will likely recommend lifestyle changes and possibly medications.

Limit consumption of high-sodium processed foods. Beware of salt substitutes. Eat adequate amounts of potassium-rich foods.

My family is riddled with heart disease and blood pressure issues and has been for a very long time...multiple generations to be exact. I am almost 40, and a male.....I did not want and do not ever want any of these issues. We have also had diabetes in the family.

I went searching for a solution but not a cure...I wanted a lifestyle change that would be with me throughout the years and something I could convince my wife and children to try. My solution was a modified version of the Atkins diet. Reduce PROCESSED carbohydrates and sugars and you will come out ahead.

We have now been following this in our household for about 24 months and all of us show heightened energy and better physical ability. I have had blood work down through out the process and my cholestorol and triglycerides have reduced as a result. I have no blood pressure issues and or sugar related illness.So far I am thrilled....I will be getting a stress test soon to see if my arteries are functioning properly...especially after being on a reduced carb and higher protein diet.

Hope this helps somewhat.

Example of everyday diet: Up to 12 servings of salad of raw vegetables (dark green are the best also tomato, kale) with first cold pressing olive oil. 4-5 liters of purified alkaline ionized water with pH at least 9,5 (like the one made with Jupiter ionizer) with concentrated green powder, like supergreens. 2 Avocados 1-2 cups of slightly steamed sprouted soy beans 10 grams of unprocessed sea salt.

Also you can use baking soda (NaHCO3) dissolved in that alkaline water. Nothing else. No meat, no dairy products, no sugary fruits not to mention sweets, no regular breads, no rice or other grains.

Especially no coffee or teas (including the green one. It 'causes bladder cancer).

Big things to cut include beer, salt and caffeine. I was told by doctor to cut the above items. My Blood pressure has come down dramatically.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
