High Blood Pressure Diet.
Do You Have to Eat Rabbit Food?

No! You can make your high blood pressure diet user friendly and still reach your normal blood pressure goal. Let's find out how.

Do you love pork chops, spaghetti and meatballs, desserts, chips and dip?

Well, I do, too.

Here's me enjoying life at the time my blood pressure was beginning to rise.
I wasn't thinking about any high blood pressure diet, I'll guarantee you.

I don't know what I was thinking when my wife Peggy took that picture, but it sure wasn't, "Let's go grab some celery, honey."

Now, celery may be your idea of something really yummy. If so, you'll have no trouble with a high blood pressure diet.

But right then at the start of my blood pressure rising, the gleam in my eye most likely was for a double cheeseburger, fries and a chocolate shake!

I've changed my attitude somewhat since then. At first, I was forced into eating healthier. Now, I've made a game out of it.

Let's see what some of the diets are.

Which high blood pressure diet is right for you?

Could it be the Dash Diet? Want to run faster? Just kidding. This is your basic no fat diet.

If this diet isn't your cup of tea, take a look at the Low Sodium Diet, also known as No Salt Diet or Salt Free Diet? Now, that sounds strange because without salt your body would be a dry bag of bones, but you might dig this if you love natural flavors.

If you don't like either of these diets, try the Vegetarian Diet. No meat, no fish. A rabbit or a cow would do very well on this diet. How about you? Love your veggies?

The next one is the diet of an entire group of people, so take a look at the Mediterranean Diet. This one appeals to me because it lets you eat certain kinds of healthy fats.

The new kid on the block is the Blood Type Diet. The theory of this diet is that ancient peoples ate certain foods. As these groupings of people were characterized by blood type, you would eat what they ate if you shared their blood type.

Another diet you might check out is the Raw Food Diet

A diet that fascinates me is the Life Change Diet. This diet for high blood pressure is unique. It changes as you grow older. Where would you show up on it?

If you don't find any of these diets compelling, you might want to invent your own from the foods, supplements, herbs and formulations covered on other pages. I'll show you how to do that.

Whichever diet you choose to help you achieve normal blood pressure, I suggest that you work into it slowly. Stick with the foods you love for as long as you can. We'll go over this in more detail on the page Your Diet Plan.

Your high blood pressure diet should promote your overall health.

Because of this, I don't recommend fad diets, but one person has developed an exceptional use for them.

Your attempts to acquire normal blood pressure should include controlling cholesterol, losing weight if you need to, and reducing homocysteine and C-reactive protein if they are too high. If you don't know what these terms mean, don't worry. You can ask your health care practitioner to check them with a blood test.

A proper high blood pressure diet, which you like, can help you live a longer, higher quality life. So, do yourself and your body a favor - join our Normal Blood Pressure Diet members and get on one!
