My mom suffers from high blood pressure, actually very high, and she's on 3 different medications. One of her old meds gave her such side effects that she needed surgery... serious stuff. I've heard that a vegan diet can reduce high blood pressure, but I don't know how effective it really is. Have any of you had this problem, or know someone who did, and experienced significant changes after becoming vegan. Are there a any good evidence out there? Any research done? My mom doesn't smoke anymore and says she eats lots of veggies and fruit, and only a small amount of meat (don't the all say that.) Salt is another thing she cutting down on. I still think more radical changes would be necessary. Maybe a low-fat, low-sodium plant based diet plan is what's needed. And maybe a good exercise program as well.
