High blood pressure

Shelley anne

Hi 

I am on the borderline of obesity, and my blood pressure is very high. I have heard that raw juice fasting and eating raw foods can lower someone's blood pressure. So I have been trying desperately to consume more raw foods and juices. But cravings come upon me big time, cravings for McDonald's, and other fried foods,and chocolate. Chocolate cravings are huge and sometimes I cave in. And I'm embarrassed to say I would scoff down around 250 gram block of it.

Has anyone else been through this? Or has anyone heard about the blood pressure going down?

Dr Joel Fuhrman (author of Eat to Live and numerous other books) talks a lot about toxic food food addiction and cravings. He also cites numeorus (in the thousands ) of cases where blood pressure, triglycerides, and cholesterol were all brought down to incredibly low numbers by following his program.  HIs program can easily be followed by a Rawtarian and he does encourage people to eat raw.  Check out his books at www.drfuhrman.com

I felt encouraged by your words Claire T. And not so alone in this. So thank you, thank you, thank you! Bless you.

For me, pizza has been my stumbling block.  But when I had a piece a while ago it was unbearably salty.  This is a sign that my taste buds have gotten more sensative and now sweets and salties are just gross...    When that happens and you try to eat something you once loved and it is disgusting, then you will be well on your way.

So there is hope Cynthia. I do not have to keep these taste buds. I will remember your words when this time comes upon me.
