This book covers supplements, exercise, weight loss, stress control, natural alternatives, prescription drugs, and what you can do to lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
Medication versus meditation? That is the question. Are we allowing side effects of medications to become part of our lives because doctors prescribe them for our symptoms? For example, this book indicates cholesterol lowering drugs can have mortality rates of 44%! Yet, these various drugs reap the highest sales for medications on the market. Here you can read about successful strategies for lowering your high blood pressure. Learn about the benefits of adding flax seed, rhubarb, kale and a moderate amount of red wine to your daily intake. The list goes on.... Typically many chapters will reinforce your existing knowledge, and are reminders on how to eat better. Along with more exercise, reading this book may help you get back on track!
