1. Israelis & high blood pressure

a factor must be the high amount of salt consumed by Israelis who automatically pile on salt to food prior to eating.
2. A word of advice from one with HBP...take your meds
Al   (08.08.12)
ditch the wife and the job and live a life. The wife and the job will kill ya. Take the meds, crank up the AC,spend the kids inheritance and order in. To hell with everything and anything. I love my meds..
3. Not only meds ...

Going off medication without consulting the doctor is foolhardy. But while meds are important a proper diet and regular physical exercise are essential for stabilizing/lowering high blood pressure. And too many use the car when they can walk short distances & use the elevator when they can walk up & down stairs. Coping with stress is another matter but that is highly personal but can be achieved. And it is a continuous process from the moment one is diagnosed with high blood pressure.

...sense of humor Al. It's fun provided it makes people laugh. I'm just raising my eyebrows at your strange remarks while I honor ORA's statement. However, the primary cause for mental stress is the belief that problems exist externally and are beyond one's control and that other people are somehow responsible for your destiny (and happiness). The truth is that stress goes in the mind - there is no stress in the physical universe - stress is entirely psychological. Stress is not external - it is internal, it goes on in one's mind. Stress is artificially created by men and women. It's not events but reactions to those events that cause stress. And the source of one's fate, destiny and happiness is on the inside - not controlled externally by others.
7. #6 get over yourself you sound a bit out there

8. High blood pressure and Chiropractic
Shmuel Lux ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.10.12)
Joint study at the University of Chicago by MD's and Chiropractors showed a significant lowering of blood pressure.No drugs.

10. #7

Would you mind telling me how exactly one "get's over oneself" and what one does to do that - and why exactly? What I sound like is entirely based on your limited understanding. Your perception of reality is not reality. Maybe that's too complicated for you to comprehend. But I am not "out there" but rather "in here" - if you only would bother to read.
