Publisher's summary

If you have high blood pressure, you're not alone: nearly a third of adult Americans have been diagnosed with hypertension, and another quarter are well on their way. Yet a whopping 56 percent of diagnosed patients do not have it under control. The good news? Hypertension is easily treatable (and preventable), and you can take action today to bring your blood pressure down in just four weeks - without the potential dangers and side effects of prescription medications. In Blood Pressure Down, Janet Bond Brill distills what she's learned over decades of helping her patients lower their blood pressure into a 10-step lifestyle plan that's manageable for anyone. You'll harness the power of blood pressure power foods, start a simple regimen of exercise and stress reduction, and stay on track with checklists, meal plans, and more than 50 simple recipes. Easy, effective, safe - and delicious - Blood Pressure Down is the encouraging resource that empowers you, or your loved ones, to lower your blood pressure and live a longer, heart-healthy life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

I been working on my blood pressure for the last 10 years and have not been successful in lowering it. In one week I've lost 10 LBS and dropped my BP from 150/99 to 133/82! This is effective!

This diet really works

Great information!!! Dr. Brill explains every recommendation. So that you understand how the recommendations work. I eat a banana and kiwi every day and walk an hour almost every day. My blood pressure is 110/77 when I follow Dr. Brill’s recommendations. When I neglect her recommendations my pressure goes up immediately.

Sincerely CYB

Very informative

Provided a lot of options to utilize to get your blood pressure down from certain foods, and the things in the fruits, vegetables along with exercise, dark chocolate what sets it apart and wine.

I will listen regularly to make it my daily habit.

And great PDF to reference at any time.

Good info on BP lifestyle changes.

Very informative and easy to listen to driving. Has some research information to back up claims and offers resources. Great Audiobook. Very common sense and more.

Only negative is that the resource website and PDF seem non-existant. Ill change review to 5 stars if the resources become available to me.
