Customer Reviews

not enough information
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.

Motivating Format
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.

Everyone with High Blood Pressure Should Read
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).
