I am a firm believer that we are prescribed way too many drugs when proper diet will do the trick. And we are finally finding out what proper diet is.

Also, do you want to know a quick and easy way to lower your blood pressure? Deep breathing.

I read an article a while back, which I haven't been able to find again, about the only medically approved "mechanical" contraption to help you lower your blood pressure. The article went on to describe the contraption as a biofeedback unit to help you regulate your breathing. It described the method as a slow, deep breathing. 10 breaths or fewer per minute.

So I tried it. I started doing deep breathing 4 or 5 times a day. And my blood pressure went down 10 points top and bottom. No drugs.

And considering that my BP was the only thing that was not improved by my low carbing and exercise, I was quite gratified.
