Hypertension - High Blood Pressure

Hypertension - the most common form of cardiovascular disease in industrialised countries - is a serious health risk and a major cause of heart attacks and strokes.

Many people end up taking drugs for life, drugs such as beta-blockers, but these can have serious side effects, some of which are even suspected of increasing the risk of heart attack. Other side effects can include drowsiness, headaches, depression and joint pains.

You may be told to eat more fruit and vegetables, avoid red meat and cigarettes and exercise, which are all good pieces of advice, but you may feel that you are not getting to see the whole picture.

The ALCAT Test can detect your food intolerance's and has been shown to be highly significant at improving the body's composition. If you have excess weight this can exacerbate hypertension and other chronic diseases therefore identifying and removing your sensitive foods from your diet may have real health benefits and avoid the side-effects associated with long term drug dependence.

"98% of the subjects following the ALCAT plan either lost weight or improved body composition."
