@@Zonyafoco I use kelp for iodine. I know so many people use iodized salt and still have thyroid problems, why is that? I also use Himalayan salt and Celtic sea salt.

Two weeks ago my blood pressure was 212/128 and I was taking extra blood pressure medicines. I started walking 5 miles every day. I changed my diet completely and this morning my blood pressure is 108/67 and I am completely off of blood pressure medicines. I can teach anybody to do the same. Stop all alcohol consumption. Stop eating all foods that convert to sugar like bread, rice, and potatoes, and stop your intake of salt. Increase your intake of avocados, walnuts, pistachios, hemp seed, and a high polyphenol count olive oil, eat lots of fish that is high in omega 3 oils, and green leafy vegetables. Consume 1 teaspoon of pure cocoa daily. Also, take a high-fiber supplement that is pure like psyllium hulls. Do not over-consume water. Do not take Metamucil as it does contain psyllium hulls, however, it also contains other ingredients that are really bad for your intake. The first week you will feel bloated from the high-fiber diet, however, that will pass and the high fiber will lower your cholesterol. Another benefit you will receive is your arthritis (which is only inflammation) will go away. High blood pressure can be completely controlled by diet. I hope this helps and good luck to you. Bottom line. Lower your sugar intake, increase your fiber intake and lower your blood pressure. it's that easy!

Purchase a good blood pressure monitor (With a sleeve) and check your pressure often at home. Came in handy for me several months ago. My pressure was 190 / 110 and after several tries I used a second monitor and the readings were the same. I then went to the emergency room and got checked out. After returning home, I reviewed everything I'd been consuming for the previous days until I discovered that the source of the problem was Altoids ( The curiously strong mints). I had been gorging on those mints for days. I googled the candy and learned that excessive amounts of peppermint will spike blood pressure.

I enjoyed this video so much. Such a great amount of genuine information that anyone can use right now. I copied the information for the best foods (many are my favs!) and a screen capture of the No-Fail Smoothie Guide. I will be going back to get the Double Orange Smoothie recipe; might need to get the oranges though I have all the spices. Thank you so much for sharing. I checked out the sample recipes in the "Store" link. I think I'm in love with her cookbooks, everything I saw looks incredibly delicious . I'll wait until after the Christmas rush to order them but wow, I can hardly wait. Skimming through, I see that she has not eliminated whole areas of food like no meat or no grain but rather put them all in proportion to what is truly healthy. I saw recipes for zucchini bread, pizza, and other real food along with fabulous salad and other veggie goodies that I can't wait to try. Some things (raw foods like salad) I'll have to wait until my dental work is completed but I can certainly compensate with smoothies for a while. Everything in either book is so doable. No, I'm not a shill, but I see from the sneak peeks that she will give clear guidance so you can accomplish your health goals.
