Low Sodium Diets and High Blood Pressure
We have all heard that a low sodium diet is important when it comes to blood pressure. What you also need is Pottassium.
One of the major causes of High blood pressure is a diet that is HIGH in Sodium and LOW in Pottassium, magnesium and calcium.
Pottassium is a mineral for the heart, kidneys, and other organs to work normally.
Some great food sources of Pottasium include: Bananas, Potatoes, Nuts, cooked Spinach, Sweet Potato, Yogurt, cantaloupe, cooked broccoli,milk, avacados, beans or fish.
Calcium rich foods include: skim milk, low fat cheese,almonds, yogurt, and sardines.
It's important to cut soda's from your daily intake as the phosphorus in soda depletes the calcium from your body.
If you have arthritis you it is important to get enough Vitamin D and magnesium as well. These help drive the calcium to your bones.
When taking a supplement its best to take one that doesn't give you too much all at once as your body can only absorb so much. It's also best to get a supplement where you can get Vitamin D, Calcium and Magnesium all in one tablet.
For an quality nutritional supplements go to www.HerbalVermont.com.
Magnesium
food sources include green leafy vegetables, brazil nuts,almonds, soybeans, quinoa, and halibut.
Tip: try Endammame soybeans. They are delicous. You can find them in the freezer section. I got them at Walmart. A box of 6 packages for under $3.
High Blood Pressure and Celery
I read an article recently where the claim is that celery may help in reducing blood pressure.
Celery is a good source of Vitamin C and Vitamin A.
I like my celery with a little egg salad or peanut butter on top. It makes a great satisying snack.
Celery can actually help in preventin your teeth from staining too. So when your out and about an you don't have the toothbrush handy. Munching on some celery can help to clean your teeth.
If you have high blood pressure and your overweight the best thing you can do is lose weight. If your having trouble losing weight with diet alone you may need a nutritional program that helps to increase the amount of protein, vitamins, and nutrients in your diet. You do not have to give up the foods you love to lose weight. Sign up for a free wellness evaluation at www.1TimeDiet.com.

Evidence links Sodium to other serious health problems
It is no longer just heart disease and strokes that sodium causes. Evidence now shows sodium being the cause for other serious health problems. Thes include: cancer, diabetes, kidney failure, osteoporosis, sleep apnea and dementia.
Most chronic conditions cannot be fixed once they occur. They may occur without warning. I have talked to a few people with kidney failure that had no idea they were at risk. They have no idea what caused it. It just happened. I would be willing to bet sodium played a part. Sodium does damage over a long period of time. Without the proper nutrients excess sodium remains in the body damaging are blood vessels, bones, kidneys, etc. Pottasium, Magnesium and Calcium all aid in the removal of excess sodium from our body.
You may say I don't eat a lot of sodium in my food. The truth is you may not realize how much sodium you are actually taking in. Sodium is in so many things including celery. Yes that is right celery sticks have sodium. You really must become more consciously aware of how much sodium is in what you are eating. If you are serving anything that comes in a bottle, can or package the chance of it having a high sodium content is high. Sauces, dressings, etc. Be sure to compare not by price but by sodium content. Choose products low in saturated fat and sodium.
Increase your intake in fresh fruits and vegetables. Shop the produce, meat and dairy dept more and the inside aisles less. Read the labels.
Anything that comes in a bottle, can or package are not only high in things that are bad for you but low in the things that are good for you. Our bodies need nutrients for a healthy immune system and to protect us from the bad. Yes it is ok to eat bad things in limitted amt. but it is important to be sure we are getting all the good nutrients to combat it and protect us.
It is difficult to get all the vitamins and minerals we need from diet alone. Many people work long hours, skip meals and do not take the time for a healthy meal. People are at risk for nutritional deficiencies that lead to chronic illnesses and disease.
When taking nutritional supplements it is important to remember that some vitamins and minerals are only effective if the have another. For ex. Calcium needs Vitamin d. Vitamin D is the engine that drives calcium to our bones. Taking a calcium supplement and not getting vitamin d is a waste. It is not going to help your bones. To ensure you are getting adequate amounts of the right vitamins and minerals including pottasium, magnesium, and calcium with proper absorption I recommend a good cellular nutrition program. People are taking too many unneccessary vitamins and may not be getting the benefits of them because they are deficient in some. Cellular nutrition ensures optimal levels of all the vitamins and minerals at optimal levels to ensure you are getting what you need.

Our children are getting sick and suffering. We can do something.
Chronic illness and disease doesn't just happen overnight. They occur over a period of time. Eating unhealthy over a period of time causes damage to our heart, arteries, bones, joints, kidneys, brains, etc.
Too many kids are suffering at a young age from arthritis, high blood pressure, ADHD, high cholesterol, kidney failure and more. I have spoken recently to a few people who have experienced kidney failure. The thing with kidney failure is there is now warning symptoms you are fine one day and in kidney failure the next.
Many foods today are high in sodium. Evidence shows that sodium causes not only heart disease and stroke, but Dementia, Sleep Apnea, Kidney Disease, Osteoporosis, Cancer and Diabetes.
Stay clear of processed foods (anything that comes in a can, bottle or box) as much as possible. They have little or no nutritional value and are more often than not high in sodium.
If you do not like to see your kid sick and suffering then be sure you are giving him a healthy diet. It will not only help them now but in the future as well.
A recent study has shown an increase of stroke and boys between the ages of 15 and 34 by 51%. This is insane and can be prevented with proper diet. Please stop eating so much processed foods and buy more fresh from the produce, meat and dairy. Please pay attention to the labels on packaged goods. Watch for sodium amt and serving size.
Pottasium, Calcium and Magnesium help cleanse the body of excess sodium.
