Peg's Story

In November 2011 my blood pressure spiked.  I had been taking blood pressure medication for many years and did not want to increase it.  I thought I had been eating a healthy diet, since I was trying to limit salt. My doctor said there was something else I could try, Dr. Fuhrman's Eat To Live diet style.  He explained the science behind the diet and I started the next day after buying the book. In just two weeks my blood pressure dropped and instead of increasing my medication I was able to drop them completely.

My husband also adopted the Nutritarian diet, dropped almost 30 pounds and is no longer pre-diabetic.  After following Eat To Live for over a year, we are both amazed at how good we feel.  I no longer have constant sinus congestion and headaches and am now hopeful that I can have an impact on my genetics. My parents both lived to around 90, but their last years were not healthy ones.  My mother suffered from a heart attack, multiple strokes and dementia.  She was confined to a wheel chair in a nursing home for almost five years without being able to clearly speak or feed herself. I now have hope that my end of life experience will not be the same. The change in what I eat has left me with a new joy for life and the future, instead of the dread of following in my parents footsteps. And our tastes have changed.  Now when hungry we crave vegetables.  Go figure!
