Diet solutions for lowering blood pressure

WHILE many of us associate high blood pressure with a reddened complexion, sweating, jitters and other outward signs of stress; in reality, it’s usually much more difficult to spot.

Unfortunately, this is one of the great problems with high blood pressure or “hypertension” — it often goes undetected until after it’s had its damaging effect. The statistics show us that a “rule of halves” prevails here, where only around half of the people who suffer from the condition know that they actually have it.

Of this 50%, only about half are prescribed the most effective medications, and of the ones who are; only about half actually take them. So we can deduce that just one in eight people with high blood pressure receive and implement the treatment required to address their condition.
