We can control the risks of heart attack and stroke by a simple change of what we drink every day.

Blood pressure is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases that cause stroke and heart attack.

According to a recent research on Web MD drinking three cups of Hibiscus tea will lower High blood pressure.

A habit developed to substitute all the other unhealthy drinks and instead take Hibiscus tea will also eliminate the intake of sugar which is dangerous to a healthy heart and body.

I work in a hospital and it is so heartbreaking to know that the greatest number of patients admitted daily suffers from either heart attack or stroke.

Young lives have been lost, people devastated and changed permanently by the effects of these nightmares. I conducted this research after successfully receiving testimonies from people who were healed by a change of lifestyle.

I will share the wonders of Hibiscus tea and other benefits to the human body and why everybody should start taking it immediately. 

Knowledge is power. I am now sharing with you power to control your own health and help others who are battling with the same.

We are a generation that eats unhealthy foods, work out less and wish for healthy body.

Most of the foods we take have more amount of salt, sugar, fat which are very dangerous to a sufficient fettle beating heart and body.

There is a call on all media, nutritionist, doctors and life for people to change their lifestyles and embrace eating healthy foods to avoid the risks of being overweight a condition that threatens the entire function of the body.

I can confess that we are used to eating what our mouth wants and not what the body needs. In that respect we end up stuffing the body with superfluous junk food which makes us vulnerable to health risk and diseases.

Not everyone wants to take even ten minutes to do simple walkouts to inhale fresh air to the lungs, yet the body desires a careful treatment. Soft drinks, caffeine filled drinks are on shelves for sale and not promoting good health

According to Web MD replacing our mugs with three cups of hibiscus tea will not only lower high blood pressure but help people to health again.

Diane L. McKay, PHD of Tufts University School of Nutrition showed in a recent research conducted in Boston that three cups of Hibiscus tea lowered the systolic blood pressure by an average of 7 points.

Saying while a 7 point drop in blood pressure might not seem like much, studies showed that even a small change in blood pressure when maintained over time will reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack.

The study showed that People with the highest blood pressure at the start of the six-week study benefited the most.

McKay presented the study of 65 healthy men and women with modestly elevated blood pressure at the American Heart Association (AHA) meeting.

Significantly there was more than the 1-point drop observed in people who were given a placebo in the form of hibiscus-flavored water, McKay says.

People may say they are now eating healthy organic foods. I agree but we still take soft drinks, we still use sugar, salt and fat in excessive and deny our body’s regular needed exercise.

It is not about blaming ourselves but embracing something worthy to give us less worries and peace now that we know.

The drink is made from dried flowers and fruit of the Hibiscus sabdariffa plant that is common in the tropics and available in stores all over the world.
