review 1: Good book. It inspires confidence in being able to control blood pressure with diet and life style. Most of the points in the book I already know, but it is good to see them all in one place. And the book is a gentle reminder that there is no room in our diets for unhealthy food, especially as we age. I found myself jotting downs nutritional statistics of certain foods and bookmarking websites and apps. The book is useful no matter your level of knowledge of nutrition and health.
review 2: If you've been prescribed any type of blood pressure medication, as I have, you'll quickly discover all kinds of side effects --- real or imagined. The real ones are listed in the material you've probably tossed away -- the big sheet stapled to the prescription package. ... moreDoctors treating hypertension -- the technical name for "high blood pressure" -- often prescribe medication, which -- along with diet and lifestyle changes-- has as its goal treating a condition that affects 75 million Americans and is often called the "Silent Killer."In "Blood Pressure Down: The 10-Step Plan to Lower Your Blood Pressure in 4 Weeks Without Prescription Drugs" Janet Bond Brill distills what she's learned over decades of helping her patients lower their blood pressure into a ten-step lifestyle plan that's manageable for anyone.

I never thought I had high blood pressure, regularly getting readings in the 120/70 range, but lower is better.Bond, author of the best-selling books "Cholesterol Down" and "How to Prevent a Second Heart Attack", offers For the 75 million Americans with hypertension, a safe, effective lifestyle plan—incorporating the DASH diet principles and much more—for lowering blood pressure naturallyIf you have high blood pressure, you're not alone: nearly a third of adult Americans have been diagnosed with hypertension, and another quarter are well on their way. African-Americans are particularly vulnerable to hypertension, with a whopping four times as many people afflicted with high blood pressure than caucasians. Much of this difference is diet and lifestyle related, with African-Americans much more susceptible to obesity and diabetes than other racial groups.But don't pat yourself on the back too much if you're not black: Every racial and ethnic group is at risk to some degree. On top of this a whopping 56 percent of diagnosed patients do not have it under control. The good news?
