White Pumpkins Reign

~BEAUTIFUL WHITE PUMPKINS~

I grew up thinking that pumpkins only came in orange.

Not so anymore.

I really like the white ones and green ones, 

light orange and bright as well.

It wouldn't be the first time I didn't know any better.

This has been a difficult week for me....health wise.

My heart has been skipping beats.

Thought it would straighten out, but didn't and so after 11 days I went to my doctor.  
Wore a halter monitor for 24 hours and started taking Toprol.  
Will be reading and studying up on PVC.

Premature Ventricular Contractions.

 Blood pressure way too high.

Felt faint and just over all not well. 

Felt like my heart was doing flip flops.

Did some reading about what can cause skipping heart beat....anything from high blood pressure,
 caffeine, medicines, anemia, stress, low in calcium, 
low in magnesium, low in potassium, etc. 

So I stopped the caffeine, started taking folic acid, a calcium tablet, a magnesium tablet, 
a potassium tablet, an aspirin, rubbing natural progesterone cream on, taking olive oil with honey, 
taking deep breaths and avoiding sodium as much as possible!

Spent the afternoon reading up on how to reduce high blood pressure the natural way.

BEET JUICE is suppose to lower high blood pressure in a hour and a half.  
So tomorrow I hope to go to the Health Food Store and get some.

 If you know of some great ways to lower blood pressure naturally, please share with me.  
Appreciate your help.

I believe that I have some major changing to do when it comes to food preparation 
as well as ignoring some foods.

I knew that anytime you have low in fat food, 

that more sodium is added to the product. 

So the low in fat food with more sodium isn't a good thing for me.

Eating more fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, 

less red meat, and grains is a bonus.  

Drinking purified water a plus.

Exercising would help.

With my Christian upbringing, we didn't follow kosher food instructions.  
That was for old testament Jewish people following the Law.  So I thought.

When Jesus walked the earth, 

wouldn't He have eaten kosher since He was Jewish?

I will be posting more about high blood pressure 

or hypertension in the future.

God bless and may we all be healthier for it,
