Hi there, I'm not sure if this sub is the best place to ask this but you guys all seem friendly and helpful.

About 6 months back I was told by the doctor that my blood pressure was far too high (180/120) and reluctantly had to go on meds to help reduce it. I say reluctantly as after watching several PB documentaries such as Forks over knives I was convinced that I could tackle the issue naturally and without meds.

Cut forward 6 months and my blood pressure is still very high, on average around 155/95. I haven't been hugely consistent but am now sick and tired of feeling like crap and having a constant buzzing and beating in my head so I'm hellbent on doing this consistently but also in the best way possible to help my health.

I absolutely love vegetables, fruit, oats and have never liked dairy so the only thing I need to stop is eating junk and cut down on the booze - my problem is that I really do dislike cruciferous vegetables, are these the only foods are efficient at cleansing and opening the arteries back up? I really hope not as the thought of piles of cabbage and broccoli turns my stomach - give me a big bowl of avocado, tomato, beetroot, spring onion and sweetcorn with a splash of balsamic any day of the week though.

Is anyone else here successfully reversing heart health issues without cruciferous vegetables?
