Helpful guide for preventing, delaying stroke

This is a valuable book for individuals and families with history of high blood pressure, heart disease and/or stroke. It provides medical information about common treatments, as well as in depth discussions about specific dietary and medical concerns, such as what sodium does in our bodies and why eating too much salt overstresses certain vital organs. Included are recipes and recommended cook books, as well. Dr. Spence provides a rather comprehensive view of preventive measures and spells out what to do and what to avoid.

A Lifesaver

I learned more from this book than years of wonderful doctors. I'm sure it saved my life just explaining the different high blood pressure meds in a way I could understand. Thanks, Doc!
