Book descriptionPublication date: July 2012Hypertension, hyperlipidemia and obesity are increasing epidemically all around the World.There are over 1000 million people in the World with hypertension, hyperlipidemia or both, often together with excessive obesity.Also diabetes, together with its cardiovascular complications, has increased at alarming rate.The deaths due to cardiovascular diseases are increasing also at alarming rate. Nowadays the nutrition and physical activity has changed a lot, from old days.Earlierly people made a lot of physical work, had a lot of sports activity and food was simple but healthy. Obesity was very rare among people.Non-natural medicines for both hypertension and hypercholesterolemia are used too often, without first trying to take care of these diseases with healthy food, more physical exercise, reducing weight, and reducingsaturated fat, alcohol, sugar, coffee, fast food, smoking etc. It seems to be, that the education given to patients by doctors and nurses is not sufficient, partly because even they do not know, which natural methods should be used to lower high blood pressure and high cholesterol values.There exists hundreds of foodstuffs, medicinal plants, animal products and physical methods, which can be used easily and with little money to decrease high blood pressure and high cholesterol values, without the serious complications, when using synthetic medicines, like Statins. This book will introduce about 250 fully natural methods to decrease high blood pressure, high cholesterol values or both.When using the knowledge of the book, also a large weight reduction can be achieved by obese people.The book is based strictly on modern scientific research, and each research reference can be looked at the reference list, at the end of the book.Alltogether there exists over 1400 of scientific references about lowering blood pressure, cholesterol values or both naturally, in this book.In reality there exists several hundreds of medicinal plants and foodstuffs all over the World, which are used in folk medicine to decrease high blood pressure, high cholesterol values or both.Only a small amount of these have been scientifically verified. But all the research made so far has shown, that the folk medicinal claims and uses have been right and they work. This is not astonishing, because the use of these medicinal plants and foodstuffs is based on empirical experience, during several hundreds or thousands of years.
