Wow - who knew so much information could be packed into this little book.  As one new to the world of blood pressure as I help my mother work with her high blood pressure, the book is a life send - literally.  With so much information available from so many sources, understanding blood pressure has been confusing to say the least.  I wish I could have found this book when she was first diagnosed because I don't think it would have scared us too badly.  She uses simply terminology and explains clearly exactly what high blood pressure is, the various treatment options, specific information of the pros and cons of medications, and then a complete explanation of how diet affects HBP and how to improve simply through nutritional techniques - and the recipes she also includes at the end.  Definitely a relief and an assurance to both mother and I that we can get through this together.
