High blood pressure is often called the silent killer. It has no symptoms, there is no specific cause in 90% of the cases and as many as 1 in 3 people suffer from it, many unknowingly. Luckily, if it has been determined that you have blood pressure, management of the condition can be made easy with some healthy lifestyle changes. This DVD from Gaiam's collaborative "Mayo Clinic" series is an ideal resource for helping you change your life to adapt to the condition. The program features advice from medical doctors on diet, exercise and the importance of managing stress in your life. Additional segments include a trip to the grocery store, where you will learn which foods are good for keeping blood pressure in check and which aisles to avoid, a segment on becoming more conscious of your sodium intake and two healing arts sessions from Rodney Yee, one on meditation and the other covering basic yoga postures for relaxation. Includes 52 page guidebook.
