My Review
High blood pressure is a serious matter. I’m in my late 40’s and I don’t have an issue with it, but if I did, you can be sure that I would take every step possible to control it with my diet. I don’t always eat or crave the best food for me, but I do make an effort to eat healthy food a good part of the time.
I was excited to review this book so that I can learn how to make better food choices for me and my family. Dr. Janet thoroughly explains high blood pressure and does it in a way we can all understand.
There are many helpful lists/charts such as:
- Supermarket Salt Shockers
- Ten Surprisingly Simple Tips for Cutting Back on Your Intake of Salt
- Potassium Power Foods
- Ten Tips for Adding Potassium Into Your Day
- Magnesium Power Foods
- Calcium Power Foods
- Ten Simple Stress-Busters
- Sample of Meal and Exercise Plan
There are also healthy recipes in the back of the book.
Since this book arrived, I go back to the lists (above) when making my grocery shopping list. I feel inspired to buy more foods rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium and eliminate the higher sodium junk that can creep into my diet. I honestly love the way I feel when I eat better and it really does help you shed those unwanted pounds. Ultimately, I want a healthy and fit family, so I’m grateful for the tips and strategies in this book.
Dr. Janet let me share one of her recipes with you! I made this guacamole last week and Dave and I enjoyed it with baby carrots and Pita chips!

That recipe sounds great Jane. I see it’s got a little kick to it! Thankfully, my bp is good for now. I am concerned about the excess sugar that I crave! Sounds like a great book with some healthy recipes.
That sure looks delicious. Thanks for sharing this wonderful review of a book I need to read.
