The High Blood Pressure Relief Diet (Hardcover)

This dieting programme shows how those who suffer from high blood pressure can eliminate, or greatly reduce, the need for a lifetime of medication and its undesirable side effects. Dr Scala explains how the typical high fat, high sodium American diet, plus stress and lack of exercise, can lead to hypertension. He reveals how a diet low in sodium and high in potassium and calcium can restore critical body balances and bring blood pressure under control. He also provides guidelines for exercise, weight reduction, and stress management that help keep it under control. The book includes a ten-day menu planner, plus recipes and tips for grocery shopping and eating out.
