Black People : High Blood Pressure

[phynxofkemet]

With hypertension and High Blood Pressure being more prevalent in Blacks worldwide (gee I guess the stress is getting to us?), can anyone recommend some literature that deals with this subject? Someone very close to me has high blood pressure and I'm concerned for them. They spend most of their time watching t.v (retired) and being around a hypercritical person who smokes! What to do? Maybe if they read about this from a "certified smart person" (lol) they can be empowered to change gears.

Interesting note: Slaves on the middle passage weren't fed and given proper amounts of water. Slaves that had had normal blood pressure couldn't hold enough water in their bodies and died along the way. Most of us are descended from these slaves with high blood pressure! It is a similar story with sickle cell. It's an evolutionary trait that has allowed us to survive. I read that survivors of the Bubonic plague are paritally immune to the AIDS virus. White people get all the breaks.

How To Eat To Live
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_To_Eat_To_Live
How To Eat To Live is a series of books published by Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad in the 1960s, which are still in print. The books cover his philosophies on healthy eating and the Black Muslims' prescribed diet.

Eat To Live by Joel Fuhrman
http://www.drfuhrman.com/weightloss/about.aspx
Eat To Live is not merely a weightloss book. This book is also targeted at those desiring to effectively prevent or reverse other chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, joint problems and high blood pressure. Also, this book is for those who just want to be in great health, maintain their youthful vigor, and physical and mental abilities into their later years. It is the real anti-aging way of eating.

Peace sister,

An excellent herbalist/naturopath named Djehuty Ma'at Ra has a website where he gives tremendous amounts of information on this topic. I think How To Eat To Live is a good start but it would be better to heed some more "updated" information in my opinion.
