Robert Pastore, Ph.D.
Background
Archeological evidence suggests that tea leaves steeped in boiling water were
consumed as many as 500,000 years ago. Botanical evidence indicates that India and
China were among the first countries to cultivate tea. The English are known for their
love of tea. Americans invented the tea bag and began the practice of drinking iced
tea in the early 1900s. Today, hundreds of millions of people drink tea around the
world, and studies are now suggesting that green and white tea have numerous health
benefits.

Hypertension: A Natural Approach

|
|
The body's ability to maintain its blood pressure is vital to life. Chronic hypertension is a major coronary heart disease risk factor. Hypertension contributes to half a million strokes and over a million heart attacks each year. The higher the blood pressure above the normal 120/80 mmHg, the greater the risk of heart disease. This condition is sometimes referred to as the silent killer, since people usually cannot feel the physical effects of high blood pressure.
