I have posted recently about hypertension. In one study, 352 adults with hypertension of 120-159/80-95mmHg took 40 grams per day of soy protein, milk protein or a carbohydrate placebo, in three 8-week cycles, with three week's rest in between each phase.
Researchers measured blood pressure twice at the start and end of each phase and found, compared to placebo, systolic blood pressure was 2.0mmHg lower during the soy protein phase, and 2.3 mmHg lower during the milk protein phase.
The conclusion is that milk gives hypertension relief.

Gregory Chandler-Lutein for Eye Health
Individuals over age 40 should be concerned with eye health. Researchers have opined that macular pigment declines as lutein in the diet decreases, raising the chances for age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
In one study, 126 people with AMD took lutein or a placebo. After six months, macular pigment optical density-a measure of pigment thickness-increased 28 % compared to a placebo. The research found that the lutein group had better visual perception and clarity.

GREGORY CHANDLER - OLEOYLETHANOLAMIDE
Individuals often look for a dietary supplement to reduce hunger. Research suggests that oleoylethanolamide (OEA) will reduce cravings for food. OEA is a lipid produced by the body's intestines. After eating, the production of OEA increases, which works to decrease hunger by stimulating the sensory nerves that feed back to the brain. The brain is told by the nerves that the body is full.
One should take OEA as a supplement at 25 to 50 mg twice per day with food.

GREGORY CHANDLER ON NATURAL HYPERTENSION AIDS
I published an earlier study about a Harvard University study on hypertension. I am back to the subject of hypertension again.
A review of blood pressure studies, found that there are many non-pharmaceutical options for reducing hypertension. It is important to exercise more, reduce sodium, eat more fruits and vegetables, and decrease fats. There are also many supplements that one can take for hypertension control.
Calcium: Those who took a calcium supplement had a mild decrease in blood pressure readings. It is thought that calcium helps the blood vessels relax.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): In a review of several C0Q10 studies, systolic blood pressure was lower on average for CoQ10 users compared to those taking a placebo.
Flavonoids: Diets high in cocoa tend to lower blood pressure readings.
Folate: Those whose diets are low in folate are more likely to have elevated blood pressures readings.
Garlic: Several studies show that garlic extract lowers blood pressure.
Potassium: Diets low in potassium can cause a rise in blood pressure.
Vitamin D: Individuals with high blood pressure readings were more likely to have low levels of vitamin D compared to those with normal blood pressure.
The keys should give one a non-pharmaceutical decrease in blood pressure.

Gregory Chandler - Forskolin
Good day.
Forskolin is a chemical that comes from the coleus forskolin plant, which is a mintlike herb.
Forskolin helps to break down fat within fat cells, making it easier for your body to pull fat from storage to use as energy. This means that you can fuel activity with fewer calories, allowing one to reduce body-fat stores while maintaining or building muscle tissue.
A good dose is 20 to 50 mg of forskolin two or three times a day for a total of up to 150 mg per day.

GREGORY CHANDLER ON HARVARD HYPERTENSION STUDY
More than 50% of individuals over the age of 40 are at risk for hypertension. Blueberries and strawberries may help prevent hypertension.
In a recent Harvard University study, people who consumed the most anthocyanins had a 12% lower risk of developing hypertension than those who consumed the least amount of anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are found in high amounts in blueberries and strawberries.

Gregory Chandler - Beet Root Juice
A new study suggests that beet root juice can improve athletic performance. Researchers had cyclists take part in two separate 4K time trials. Before one 4K time trial the cyclists consumed beet juice. The other time trials were without beet juice consumption.
The results were that the cyclists completed the trials an average of 48 seconds, or 2.7% faster, after drinking beet juice.
The study concludes that the beet juice provides nitrates that boost athletic performance.
