Now, the other half of the book centers around concrete examples on how you can lower your blood pressure, using a three step approach. The three-step approach, as you would imagine, is composed of stress management, diet, and exercise. I personally gained a world of knowledge on the stress management section, since I already had alot of the knowledge regarding how diet and exercise affect blood pressure.
Although this review might sound like I didn't like this book, that is not the case. I simply had done alot of research on my own, and found alot of the information that I already knew in this book. However, I did encounter plenty of information that will help me to continue to keep my blood pressure at regular levels. I especially reccommend this book for anyone that has recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure, especially as an initial research tool.
I never add reviews but this was an important time to take. Hope it helps you.
