Blood pressure can be managed without increasing risk of other health dangers

If your blood pressure is consistently high, your doctor will probably treat it by reaching for the prescription pad.

Hold it right there, Doc.

As I’ve often mentioned, you can manage BP without increasing risk of other health dangers.

For instance…

Three years ago, I told you about a remarkable BP study. Moderate weight loss with a low-carbohydrate diet drove blood pressure down into normal range in half the HBP subjects.

And in his “Dr. Atkins’ Diet Revolution,” the late diet guru cited numerous studies that came to this conclusion… You can lower blood pressure simply by increasing potassium intake.

And finally… maybe the easiest thing to do is to stop taking aspirin. That’s right. Millions are taking that so-called “heart health” drug that actually increases risk of high blood pressure.

Increasing potassium and eliminating dangerous drugs are two easy ways to keep your blood pressure healthy. You can read about other common painkillers that increase blood pressure here.
