Is it true that milk helps lower blood pressure naturally?   

Ooh! I didn't know that about the non-fat milk
helping with weight loss.

Will have to try that out. Losing weight and
keeping it off is my big deal, always such a
struggle for me.

But I know that it's so important for health reasons.

Thanks for your comment.

They used to run a campaign 24 oz in 24 hours to maintain a healthy weight or even lose some.

I love milk anyway!

Another good reason to drink milk.

OK, I got it.
Milk is good for preventing high blood pressure, stroke, osteoporosis, and possibly even cancer.
Has to be low fat or skim though.
Possible it could lower cholesterol too.
In the study used it was 4 eight oz glasses a day.

I don't like drinking milk because of the after taste it leaves on the tongue. But it is good for preventing high blood pressure, I would certainly go for it.

Zandi, have you thought about using
non-fat or low fat milk in cooking, instead?

Or, covering up the taste of milk with a
drop of vanilla, stirred into the milk.

Thanks, Ruth!

That's just the info I was looking for.
You know I've been looking for info on high blood
pressure and how to lower blood pressure
naturally.

And, this morning, that idea came back to me.

Am so happy that it could be a real
possibility.

I have noticed that he has fewer problems
in that area when there is milk in the house.

And her teeth are growing in quicker when
we have plenty of milk.

So, all around, milk won't be a bad thing to
have around more often, especially low fat
or non-fat milk.

Thanks for checking it out.

Thanks for checking it out, Hatley!

Nice to talk with you again.

Blood pressure has recently become an issue
in our house, too, so I'm on the look out
for natural blood pressure remedies.

I love milk anyway, so having more milk in
the house is not going to be a problem.

Thanks so much!

You're such a sweetheart for looking up the info.

I have been racking my brains lately trying
to figure out some natural way to lower blood
pressure. We're having some blood pressure issues with a
family member and I really hope it doesn't go
as far as blood pressure medication.

Always best to handle things naturally
when it comes to health.

Fewer side effects.

Thanks again.

Milk may help prevent high blood pressure.
Hopefully that's true.

Not sure if it will lower high blood pressure,
but there seems to be at least one study that suggests
it could help.

I hope its true, because I love milk. and its hard to find tasty things to eat and drink thats good for you as well, if you know what I mean, most of the things that are good for us taste like card bored lol.

Oh, it's so true! Just this past month, I bought
some no-salt bread to try out. My husband pretty much
told me it tasted like shoe leather. And, that kind
of makes me wonder how he would know that. It's not like shoe leather
is a regular part of our meals.

No really, I loved the no salt bread.

But he was not such a big fan. Later he admitted the
no salt bread didn't taste so bad when used as part
of a sandwich. And, I was like 'Duh! What do you think
I bought it for?'

That really makes sense, considering
milk contains lots of protein and
protein is said to make a person feel
fuller longer.

And because skim has less fat, but still has the protein...maybe I need to get me some skim milk. I just hate the taste!

Add a drop of real vanilla to each eight ounce cup
of milk and stir. That should make the taste
of skim milk more pleasant. Always works for me.

Or, use as part of your cooking.

That works too.
