Last year, I was introduced to an AMAZING all natural wellness system by a very close friend of mine. I am 43 years old, and I have been taking blood pressure meds for 6 years. Since I have been using the product, I am becoming healthier every day! I no longer need to take blood pressure medication, and my 18 year stretch of chronic low back and hip pain is completely gone thanks to this amazing product.

watch his salt intake, overall diet and exercise.
Absolutely no salt, and medication. The rest it sounds likes he's doing. Good Luck :-)
Your husband may want to use meditation (TM for example) if he is under a lot of stress. Also, he should do aerobic exercise if he does not already.





I am 50, lean- 153 lbs and 5 ft. 10 and my family tree has high blood pressure as a factor. I have been borderline- mid 130's for my BP.





This winter, I ran across a great book called NO More Heart Disease by Dr. Ignarro. Dr Ignarro won a Nobel Prize in 1998 for his work on nitric oxide for your health. I was so impressed that I started his recommended supplementation program and my BP dropped down to 100's. So I am a believer. You may want to check it out.
My father is 48 and, in lieu of medication, he works out in order to maintain his blood pressure.





Just remember that some people are born with a slightly higher blood pressure, just as some are born with a higher, or lower, temperature than normal.
