Blood Pressure too high?

There are some alternative suggestions to lowering your blood pressure.

Doctors at the University of Chicago studying the Oriental custom of using celery to lower hypertension discovered that celery contains the chemical 3-n-butyl phthalide. This smoothes the muscles lining blood vessels, which increases the vessel diameter and allows for easier blood flow at lower pressures.

Don't peel the strings off of celery.. eat them.. they are the bowel scrubbers that clean your colon.

So, if you have changed your life style with exercises, eating high fiber meals, with complex carbohydrates, cold water fish, and lots of fruits and vegies.. and your BP has come down a bit, try the celery.. 4 stalks a day. I like mine with peanut butter, or cream cheese, or spreadable pimento cheese.. hummm humm good.

Warning... if you are on medication and try the above, check your BP often.. a too low BP is worse or as bad as a high.. You might need to reduce the dosage of your medication.
