A high blood pressure diet demands that you cut back on or eliminate some foods, while increasing your intake of others. Salt is a prime culprit in creating high blood pressure, so you should be consuming no more than five grams of salt per day. You will have to start paying attention to the sodium in the packaged and canned foods you ***, because many of them are notorious for their high salt content. Go for the low-salt or no-salt versions. You can learn to season your food with herbs and spices; they are the secrets to many a brilliant culinary career.

Even when people think they are ***ing “healthy” foods, many times they are not. You can *** a package of wild rice with some type of seasoning packet in it and it does have some healthy characteristics. It is very low in all types of fats. It has zero cholesterol. It provides excellent proteins and complex carbohydrates. However, it has a ton of sodium in it. And remember, each package is made for a family – not an individual.

The thing about traditional medical treatment is that it is simply hiding the cause of hypertension. Though hypertension is a silent disease meaning that is shows no signs, it is most often the result of bad lifestyle habits. In fact, your weight or activity levels are the two greatest reasons why you might suffer from high blood pressure. And by taking these ‘miracle’ medications, you are NOT dealing with the root of the problem but simply using synthetic chemicals that either cause your heart to pump slower or relax your arteries. Therefore, you will see significant drops when you test but who are you really kidding besides yourself? Something tells me that according to the statistics; the meds aren’t fooling our bodies

(NaturalNews) Three new studies by Japanese scientists add even more evidence to what already is an astounding mountain of data showing green tea protects and heals the human body. All of the research is based on findings from the huge Ohsaki National Health Insurance Cohort Study in Japan which involved 41,761 Japanese adults between 40 and 79 years of age. None of the research subjects had a history of cancer when the study started and their diets, along with other lifestyle factors and any health problems they developed, were followed for about ten years.

In a study published in the September issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology, Dr. Toru Naganuma of Tohoku University School of Medicine in Senda and colleagues reported that drinking at least five daily cups of green tea was found to slash the risk of blood cancers by 42% and lymph system cancers by 48%. What’s more, these enormous reductions in cancer were consistent in both men and women and in people with various body mass sizes.

While Dr. Naganuma was looking at blood and lymph cancer rates, another research team in the Division of Epidemiology in Tohoku University’s Department of Public Health and Forensic Medicine was also searching the Ohsaki National Health Insurance Cohort Study and they discovered yet another link between green tea and cancer prevention. Their study, published in the September issue of the journal Cancer Causes and Control found that green tea consumption was inversely associated with the incidence of liver cancer. The study documented that the more green tea consumed, the more the risk plummeted — five cups or more offered the most protection from liver malignancies.
