I have tried the keto diet, and I must say, it's hard. The keto diet has a lot of benefits and you can lose weight fast. I just could not do it right now. I love carbohydrates too much! However, some people are ready to do the keto diet. Before you give it a try, check out Dr. Gregor's advice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_2DZ7a4gak
Some patients who are diagnosed with hypertension experience dry eyes because certain blood pressure medications may cause dry eyes. I will tell you what to do about dry eyes for instant relief and longterm resolution. There may be other reasons for dry eyes like a decrease in estrogen in post-menopausal women. Vitamin A and omega 3 deficiency could also cause dry eyes. Causes of Dry Eyes Diuretics can cause your eyes to be dry, especially if you are dehydrated. Therefore, it is very important to drink at least four 16 ounces of water every day, unless this is contraindicated to your health (i.e. heart failure). Ask your health care provider about your recommended water intake to be safe. See a list of common diuretics below: 1) Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ (Hydrodiuril, Microzide)…
Despite my strong family history of hypertension(mother, father, maternal grandmother, maternal grandfather), I have normal blood pressure. My blood pressure started to creep up several years ago and I started eating a diet rich in fruits and veggies. This has kept it in check. I read several books about nutrition, which were the same old hoopla. Then, I viewed the documentaries I am recommending in this blog, which motivated me to make a plant-based diet my routine. No, I'm not a vegan or vegetarian (not yet). I eat mostly organic or grass-fed meats routinely. Check out my top 5 documentaries to influence your mindset that may improve your diet. You will began to look at your food choices differently. I believe these videos will motivate you to eat real food…
High blood pressure eventually leads to disability or premature death. But it does not have to be. A plant-based diet may prevent you from both disability and premature death. Today I want to tell you about a must-see documentary film called PlantPure Nation. I found this film very compelling, and I want you to share it with everyone. It is proof of the positive effects of a plant-based diet, and the possibilities are very encouraging. Don't take my word for it. Look for yourself, and tell me what you think in the comments below. In order to adapt this intensive lifestyle of plant-based living, you have to give up meat which could leave you feeling like you are missing food altogether. But you will feel better quicker.

People with high blood pressure need CoQ10 to help control blood pressure because people with hypertension usually are deficient in this supplement. The recommended dose according to research, is 60 - 200 mg per day for at least 6-12 weeks to reduce blood pressure. See the videos below for more information. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29xs-uppExQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8VD2UOb1hg
Swallowing pills is difficult for some people. This problem swallowing may prevent someone from taking much-needed medication, like blood pressure medication. You should monitor your blood pressure with a home blood pressure monitor for the most accurate blood pressure measurement. Home blood pressure monitoring is the most important thing that you can do to confirm that your blood pressure warrants treatment. Your blood pressure measurement severity in the doctor's office determines if your health care provider recommends blood pressure medication or lifestyle modification. DO NOT fail the opportunity to use lifestyle modification because your healthcare provider will give you blood pressure pills. See the video below that may help you learn how to swallow your blood pressure medication. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI8O59FjQXQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI8O59FjQXQ
Someone came up to a couple a weeks ago to tell me that her doctor took her off of vitamin C to prevent Kidney stones. I found a video by Dr. Greger that explains the relationship between vitamin C and stones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVR06qdg1_k
