I really need to lose weight and lower my blood pressure. What is a diet that would address these issues?? I just realized that my microwave meals are LOADED with sodium. I am not a very good cook, also.

Processed foods are loaded with all kinds of different salts, as you’ve found out.

Any diet that makes you lose weight will also make your bloodpressure go down as you do.

Dark chocolate (min 70% cocoa) also has some unique ingredients that lower bloodpressure, but you have to take the calories into account.

You don’t have to cook much. Cook big stuff when you do cook, and cook it without salt. Then throw it in some tupperware and in the fridge or freezer. Keep in mind that you do require SOME salt – but not much.

I have a problem with high blood pressure. I have noticed that every time I drink Diet Coke, it lowers my blood pressure. Has anyone ever heard of this? On the other hand, Coffee seems to raise it.
I am not worried in the least whether it is bad for me or not. However, I KNOW it lowers it because I have checked it before and after and seen it go from 140/94 to 110/67.
The only thing I am wondering is…Has anyone else experienced this?

The person above me has went totally overboard with the sarcasm, gosh I can’t stand people like that! totally rude and uncalled for.

Anyway – probably doesn’t, but who knows, if it works for you then hey?
