[.ca] Mayo Clinic on High Blood Pressure (ISBN 1590842200)

great book for the average person with high blood pressure:
As an RN I have referred many patients to this as well as other books published by the Mayo Clinic. The material is well written, understandable and offers valuable infomation on many topics surrounding high blood pressure, diet, medications, exercise, as well as alternative therapies.

Wonderful Information:
I stopped smoking 8 months ago, and once I stopped I gained over 20lbs. I went to the doctor for several checks ups in a 2 month period, each time my pressure was taken. Each time it was a little high. I was diagnoised with Hypertension a mild case. In my book any case is enough....I was scared. I wrote to my email book group (RAWSistaz) and one of the members sent me this book. I read this book in 2 hours. The book is 172 pages chock full o information. Each Chapter has bold lettering for clarity. The subtopics listed within the Chapters are easy to locate if your just browsing. This book is for someone who has the disease and for those wanting to know if they are at risk. The Mayo clinic gives tips and suggestions that you can use each day to help you manage your blood pressure. Also included in this wonderful book is the following: Daily menus, 6 step fitness plan, Better way to shop and cook, plus much much more. One of the best things about this book aside from the information you don't need a PHD to understand it nor do you need to know medical jargon. Along with Slim Down Sister, both these books will help me to live healthier, happier and longer. visit http://www.mayohealth.org
