It's kinda old now. And I don't particularly think the dummy series is the way to go for this subject. There was a lot of info about good eating and good habits. Info about pills for heart disease and high blood pressure probably outdated. Learned a couple of things.

Eat more Whole Foods, exercise.

This book is dated, and some things I have been told about HBP from doctors, may take some advice from book...yet minimal amount. For example, wait 15 minutes to read blood pressure after eating, exercise, drinking caffeine. I was told by one of the nurses doing my readings every month for a period of time because of how high it was; said anyone that drinks caffeine or coffee with it in it, will raise the reading. Yet this book say wait 15 minutes. Another doctor advised to wait 30 minutes.

What I did like was how to figure out your ideal weight. Versus what I felt my ideal weight would be, and was literally only 1 point off. I have a long way to go! I liked to hear about losing 2.2 lbs would help with blood pressure lowering.

I enjoyed skimming to the parts I needed and finished within a couple readings.

In any kind of health/sickness book, the answer is all the same: exercise, nutrition, rest

A very basic book that explains the physiology of high blood pressure and basic treatments written in layman terms for easy understanding.
