Roasted veggie salad recipe: I love you and it is legal now to marry you. Too bad I don’t want to get married again, hate to break your heart. LOL!

But seriously. I am STILL on my roasted vegetable kick. No sign of it fading. And I’ve made sure at least 2x a week to include beets or golden beets because now I have high blood pressure and I am taking my BP twice a day now, and I don’t - won’t - take BP meds. Beets are a BP lowering food. (Anyone have any success stories about naturally lowering BP, please share.) That salad looks so perfect for me! And I like the part in the description where the writer says you will get hurt if you make her share.

Well, I’m already married; but we can be BFF!

I like beets, whether they’re canned, pickled, or fresh and roasted; but it’s kind of hard to sit down to a whole side of them. I like that salad because it has a few beets in it along with lots of other things.

I don’t know much about the beet/blood pressure thing; but it seems that lots of people are recommending beet JUICE. I think there are supplements that you can buy, as well.

If you’re against pharmaceuticals, has your doc recommended a diuretic? If you don’t want to take pills, there are a lot of foods that are somewhat diuretic and may help. A lower-carb diet usually leads to dropping a lot of water, too.

My husband and I have been on BP medication for years. Haven’t had any side-effects, but when I’ve been ‘good’, and stayed on a low-carb diet, my BP has dropped quite a lot.

(NOT medical advice; don’t even play a doc on TV ;-)
