    For a short while I was trying to do the "Halalela Diet".

     

    One of the ingredients was celery.  At the time, I was concerned about the salt content, but it did't seem to be a problem.  Salty foods are a problem for me.  If I eat the skin from a roasted chicken I swell up like a ballon (at least I think that is it).

     

    You might start a thread about Nitric Oxide.  It is produced by the one cell thick edothelial lining in our veins and arteries.  Anyhow, the Nitric Oxide gas produced lasts about 10 seconds before it is gone.  Luckily it is produced over and over and over.

     

    Nitric Oxide is the chemical that causes our veins/arteries to relax and bring out blood pressure down.

     

    Do a google search on Nitric Oxide to start you off.  By the way, the research that was done on NO won the researchers the 1998 nobel prize in medicine.
