Whether you have recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure, you are curious about medication options, or you want to learn more about diet to help maintain a healthy blood pressure, this digital download resource guide can help. It is arranged as follows:

1. Blood Pressure and Lower Salt Diet
   "Health Benefits of Lower Salt Diet," provides an overview of current thinking on the effects of sodium and potassium in the diet on blood pressure. "Medication Treatments for High Blood Pressure" describes the major categories of medicines available, along with warnings and common side effects. The "Sources" section has more than 50 references for more reading.
2. List of 138 Blood Pressure Medications by Name and Type
   Alphabetical A-Z List of 138 brand name and generic prescription drugs with links to the current consumer drug label. The link will always provide the most up-to-date version of the label, which is maintained by the National Library of Medicine's "Daily Med" database, and provides far more detail about the drug than the pamphlet enclosed with your medication. Category Index arranges the drugs by type, with links to patient reviews and safety-related FDA labeling changes. Drug categories include ACE Inhibitors, ARBs, Beta Blockers, and more.
3. Mini-Cookbook with Low Sodium Recipes
   More than 40 main dish recipes in this section were selected from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's "Choose My Plate" database; many contain less than 140 mg. per serving.
