I have been very sick More reason to eat right

Quick Facts...
Calories and body weight go hand in hand. Excess body fat leads to an increased risk of health problems.
Potassium has an important role in blood pressure treatment.
Low calcium intake may increase risk of hypertension.
Excessive sodium intake is linked with high blood pressure or hypertension in some people.
Dietary recommendations suggest avoiding too much sodium. The suggested range is 1,100 to 3,300 mg per day.
Table salt is 40 percent sodium. One teaspoon has about 2,000 mg sodium.
Hypertension (high blood pressure) affects one in four adults in the United States. Another 25 percent of adults have blood pressure readings considered to be on the high end of normal.
Your blood pressure is the force exerted on your artery walls by the blood flowing through your body. A blood pressure reading provides two measures, systolic pressure and diastolic pressure, which are expressed as millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), or how high the pressure of blood would raise a column of mercury. Systolic pressure is measured as the heart pumps. Diastolic pressure is measured between beats, as blood flows back into the heart.
High blood pressure is often called the “silent killer” because it has no symptoms and can go undetected for years. It is important to have your blood pressure checked regularly. Table 1 below shows how to classify blood pressure readings.

This also goes along with the DASH diet

Brenda Writes:
Dear Friends,
The promise to eat well and live a longer, healthier life is one that we all want to make, and now is the perfect time to begin. Twenty years ago, I was 25 pounds overweight and suffering from poor health and fatigue. It was then that I vowed to take the steps that changed my life, and now I want to share with you the most important wisdom that I have learned along the way. Fiber is quite simply a miracle nutrient. It is a miracle for those that want to lose weight, and for those that want to experience optimum health. The Fiber35 Diet explains how 35 grams of fiber per day can help you lose weight, and more importantly, prevent the diseases that cut life short.
Today, countless fad diets offer nothing but false claims and inaccurate information. They tell us that if we avoid this or that, we will shed pounds and feel great in no time. Yet, when those diets are over, the results are often the same: the weight returns, and we are right back where we started. Today, over 400,000 Americans die each year from obesity related diseases. Obesity is the second leading cause of death in America, right behind smoking. Enough is enough. I wrote The Fiber35 Diet because I want to help end this epidemic. The Fiber35 Diet offers the 65% of Americans who are overweight something they rarely experience with today's weight loss plans: the truth.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR CURES
Apple Cider Vinegar, that wonderful old-timers home remedy, cures more ailments than any other folk remedy -- we're convinced! From the extensive feedback we've received over the past 8 years, the reported cures from drinking Apple Cider Vinegar are numerous. They include cures for allergies (including pet, food and environmental), sinus infections, acne, high cholesterol, flu, chronic fatigue, candida, acid reflux, sore throats, contact dermatitis, arthritis, and gout. One reader reported that a shot of ACV saved him from going to the emergency room for heart pain. Apple Cider Vinegar also breaks down fat and is widely used to lose weight. It has also been reported that a daily dose of apple cider vinegar in water has high blood pressure under control in two weeks!
Apple Cider Vinegar is also wonderful for pets, including dogs, cats, and horses. It helps them with arthritic conditions, controls fleas & barn flies, and gives a beautiful shine to their coats!
If you can get over the taste of apple cider vinegar, you will find it one of the most important natural remedies in healing the body. As a wonderful side effect of drinking apple cider vinegar every day, we discovered that it brings a healthy, rosy glow to one's complexion! This is great news if you suffer from a pale countenance.

A Great New TREND Liquid Vitamins

Liquid Vitamin Shop
Because of their form, liquid vitamins can be absorbed immediately into the blood stream for better administration of the vitamin.
I have wondered whether or not these contain antioxidants? Vitamins A, C and E are examples of antioxidants which are commonly found in multivitamin supplement tablets but what about liquid multivitamin supplements.
I read that liquid vitamins do in fact contain such antioxidants or they would prove to be ineffective compared to other vitamins. Vitamins A, C and E are the most important of all antioxidants but they are not internally produced by the human body. Consequently, they must be a regular fixture in our diet.
Antioxidants are our best defense against various diseases and without them, we are basically weaker and less healthy.
