Harvard Medical School Guide to Lowering Your Blood Pressure

This was a helpful book to obtain information about High Blood Pressure, causes, and tips to reduce. I was looking for ways to help my husband in his need to lower his blood pressure. He is dragging his feet but now I have information to motivate him.

This book covers all the important health areas where improvement in health is achievable. It offers several choices in each area rather than the more common dogmatic approach found in books that say: "my revolutionary new discovery will save your life. Obey!" There are some areas where all the current health and nutrition debates aren't covered. But unless your BMI is 24, you don't have to wonder about them till you get there. The program here is intelligent and practical. Read the book. Consider the options. Pick a set that you think will work for you. Discuss with your health care provider (optional unless you want/need to change meds or get advice on exercising). Then make a table and chart your progress. This will help you stay with the program. Provide space to record your failures. They are inevitable. So consider them reminders to keep trying. You'll make it as long as you just stick with it. Just keep getting back on your program even if you fall off every other day. When you get to the point you actually see some progress , you will want to stick with it. Review the book occasionally to vary your program and maintain it. When you succeed, you will be able to stop most of your meds; stop worrying; and enjoy your life.

This book is excellent. People giving this guy a 4 star review should go back and learn how to impartially review stuff. This book should be judge on its content and how useful it is not judged on things the author had no control over, like how much if this information you already knew or some other abstract idea you happen to have running around in your mind. That is unfair and probably cost the author some sales when people can't rate things impartially and on its own merits.

A lot of info here.Some I already knew but there was still quite a bit here to help out.Yes some problems are heredity related bit many of the tips hopefully will help.The book is written in a very easy to understand format and any medical terms are very clearly defined in a very in depth glossary.

I haven't read it all yet, but learning a lot in what I've read so far.

This provides a useful guide to laymen who are afflicted with high blood pressure and those who would like to avoid it.

This book might have a lot that you've been told but the reassurance, extra help and information may really add years that $13 wont ever get you. I never add reviews but this was an important time to take. Hope it helps you. This book + kindle = WIN
