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!

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.

Hi,

Does anyone know if you can take green coffe tablets if your on high blood pressure tablets. Bit worried about taiking them.

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...

This is my first time posting. With money being tight, I had to change insurance companies. I found out that I had to have a physical to be approved. I was very concerned about my blood pressure among other things. I was approved with the highest rating. I am in the top 3% in the nation, health wise. The only thing different was that my husband made me start drinking a liquid vitamin every morning. I have been drinking for about 6 months. I hope I'm not breaking any rules, but the product is called Vemma. Now the whole family takes it. I guess if you want more info, look it up online or contact me.
