high blood pressure

Yes, garlic is one of the true super foods for many things including blood but an important note; you should use a clove of fresh garlic daily and crush it or slice it thin, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before eating it. I generally just slice it thin, put it on a spoon and swallow it with water like a pill or eat it on pasta, toast w/coconut oil etc.

He is also correct about lemon juice (should be fresh as well) and honey (which should be “raw” honey you can find at many stores like Whole Foods). Another superb food for your blood is cinnamon (this doesn’t matter what type, pills, capsules or powered mixed in with applesauce etc.

The best super foods website I know of is The World's Healthiest Foods

 

I love Garlic!!!! I will have to try that.

 

I was on Lisinopril for over a month and barely showed any improvement. My last time home, my Doc switched me over to Atenolol and my BP went from 170/110 to 120/75.

 

Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor and Atenolol is a Beta Blocker

Both medications basically work in different ways to keep you vasodilated (blood vessels open) so that the job of the heart is easier-there for you BP is lower. (one prevents the hormone ACE that will make you vasocontricted and the other blocks Beta Hormones that make you get vasocontricted)

great improvement!!!!!!

 

Yes they will hire you. If you are on meds for high BP then you can only get a one year DOT card, no meds the card is good for two years.

 

now the max you can get your med card for is 1 year with any high BP, the medicene you take for it is irrevelant

 

ok,here is my diabetes update,i was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on may 11th,my a1c was 9.9,my doctor put me on melformin my bg readings had been in the high 220's,for the last 2 weeks i have been walking 2 miles a day,a mile in the am,and a mile in the pm,as of may 13th my bg readings have been in the low 120's i too am om lisinopril,as my bp was 136/78 it too has gone down since,it really all depends on how bad you want to drive a truck,and how much you like the thought of living

 

thanks for that link, i'm on a BP med and that metformin pill as well. i'm going to have to start using more Cinnamon and Cayenne pepper to help fight it. my blood sugar has been reading between 180-250. my last blood pressure reading was like 130/90. how ever on the bright side it seems i'm down 25lbs from the last time i saw the doc.

 

Hey friend, not to go in any depth, are you over weight or is there a disorder that is bring your pressure up and naturaly how is your diet......that is the most inportant...
please advise

Oh man, and watch out for being sick and doing a DOT physical. I was sick as a dog taking everything I got my hands on and had to do a DOT physical. My BP was through the roof! I just barely got my med card for school a month prior and everything was good but my company wanted one by their doc. So I got a 1yr card (but I still have my 2 yr card). I went back for a follow up on my sickness and my BP was good.

Anyhow, as people mention, exsercise and cut out sodium. Also, I think strawberries and blue berries will help lower BP.
