Claims to cure ‘blood pressure’ overnight have been made in the past by catch-penny charlatans whose miracle remedies turn out to be a disappointing waste of money. You will find no claims for miracle cures in this book. The information it contains is based upon the results of scientific studies and upon the established usefulness of a number of complementary (i.e. alternative) therapies.

If you are in your 20s or 30s and have- so far as you know- perfectly normal blood pressure, you may think of hypertension (abnormally raised blood pressure) as a complaint of older people. Certainly the average blood pressure in Western countries does rise with age; but far from being normal, this is a reflection of our lifestyle and a major risk factor in the development of heart and arterial disease.

Recent research has shown that the blood pressure readings of some overweight children and teenagers equal those of many middle-aged adults. Hypertension produces few if any symptoms in its early stages, so take the precaution of having your blood pressure checked every six months. Follow the lifestyle hints in this book to keep your blood pressure within acceptable limits, and improve your vitality and well-being.

If you are already a sufferer, the combination of a healthier lifestyle and natural remedies will help to relieve your disorder and increase your chances of a fuller, longer and more enjoyable life.
