One Food Can “Beet” High Blood Pressure XD

Raw or cooked beets are also beneficial. No matter how they are prepared, beets retain their nitrate level. So, if you’re looking for a safe, natural way to avoid blood pressure medications, beets are a pretty good option.

And if you don’t like beets? There are other vegetables that, depending on the condition of the soil in which they’re grown, are also high in blood pressure–lowering nitrate. They include:

Radishes
Kale
Celery
Lettuce
Mustard greens
Turnip tops
Spinach
Chinese cabbage
Regular cabbage
Eggplant
Leeks
Scallions
Potatoes
String beans
Carrots

First let me say I don't mean this in a bad way..
This does explain a lot about him. The need to be in control and perfect in what he does...

It's just that as one that has been having several kinds of seizures the last 19 years, this section of the story kind of hits close to home.

Indeed, he was a sickly child plagued with health issues. Part of why his OCD developed..and part of why a military-career seemed so appealing, it was orderly.

So sorry to hear about your own health issues though, it's terrible you have to go through that :(.

I'm very lucky in the friends I have. They have helped me often during all this.

He certainly shouldn't turnip his nose at that gift!
