Hi!
I read at some websites that drinking
coffee and/green tea in the long run will
help lower blood pressure. Is this true?
And we all know that the culinary options
of people with high blood pressure is
somewhat limited. What types of delicious
food would you recommend?
Thanks!
Not sure about coffee or green tea if it
is caffinated.. Maybe decafe.
First salt reduction..
Good things are garlic, apples (because of
the Pectin) bananas (because of the
potassium) . The list goes no and on with
fruits and
Veggies.
yeah, the reports i read on the 'net
regarding green tea and coffee are
conflicting...
what about other types of food?
thanks!

Green Tea Posted: 05-09-07 11:23am
I'm not sure about coffee though recent
studies seem to indicate it does no harm.
However, I use green tea as a diuretic and
it helps me lose weight and keep the BP
down. I use the brand that Chan endorses
as it is very strong and effective.
Also, someone mentioned potassium. While I
doubt bananas do any harm, if you take
certain High bp meds such as Cozaar, they
tell you to limit or not take salt
substitute with potassium in it. I guess
since Cozaar is a potassium based drug you
can get too much.
So these are issues you need to discuss
with your doctor.

Here's what I read regarding caffiene.
"It's recommended to limit consumption to
one to two beverages a day. Once you get
beyond this amount, adverse side effects
are more frequent. Green tea contains less
caffeine than coffee but it is still
considered a caffeine containing
beverage." (as quoted by Dr Rowena)
I've just got a good cookbook with some
great recipies in it by the Mayo Clinic.
ALSO, my dad SWEARS by garlic & apple
cidar! Along with exercise and a medical
device called the resperate, i think
you're set on nature's path!

I'd say you should also put some personal
judgement into this.
I mean, you will probably feel if coffees
really lower your blood
pressure or rather do the opposite.
For me, it does the opposite and I get
nervous and anxious.
Well I used to, I don't drink coffee
anymore...
