Probably the best thing you can eat for high blood pressure. It contains a strong phyto chemical called phthalides.

Xylitol is a sweetener derived originally from birch bark, from Finland, in the 1970's.

The name comes from the Greek word 'ξύλο' (kseelo) or wood. It is a sugar alcohol produced from hydrogenation of Xylose from wood and vegetables. It is a carbohydrate.

There are 3 calories per gram (compared to 4 in sugar) of Xylitol and it is as sweet as sugar.
It has lesser effect on blood sugar and doesn't spike insulin like normal sugar as it is very low on the glycemic index. It's considered safe as a sugar substitute, but can cause diarrhea and stomach cramps in certain individuals who are sensitive to it.

Vitamin B1 Thiamine is a cofactor in the main metabolic pathways.

It helps the cells turn carbohydrates into energy and can break down proteins and fats. B1 also aids in the production of melatonin and can aid in sleep, as well as muscle contraction and the conduction of nerve impulses.

Deficiency can cause many complications including beri-beri, peripheral nerve problems and can have a negative effect on the heart and brain.

B1 is destroyed by thiamines which can be found in tea, coffee, raw fish and shellfish. These can deplete B1 levels as well as alcohol.
It can be found in Pork, cereals, peas, beans, lentils, sunflower seeds and yoghurt. Requirements are usually met through a healthy balanced diet, although it can be supplemented.
