      Hi, This is such an important topic to focus on especially in the African American community–but of course, hypertension affects people of all races and ethnic groups. I grew in a family where all of the adults–parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles– complained about having high blood pressure. Some suffered from strokes and heart problems. After watching my family suffer from hypertension and it’s negative effects, I vowed to change my diet from the traditional soul food diet to a vegetarian diet when I went to college. I have followed a high plant-powered diet ever since and I have never had problems with hypertension. Thanks for sharing this invaluable information. I’m sharing it.
