RE: New Year with New Challenges
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I went almost two weeks ago and received bad news about my blood pressure, also. I made the necessary changes immediately. Food is nice, but I can change my eating habits. Reduced my sodium to not more than 1000 mgs a day. Reduced (almost eliminated) saturated fat. It's already showing. Systolic and diastolic both down significantly. I know that's the salt reduction. It will take a while, but medicine is not the answer if it can be avoided.
As my doctor told me, a stroke is not a good way to die.
I hope you can make the changes you know are necessary. Bland food is boring, but there is so much to enjoy in life, it's worth the loss.
Take care, truly.

Yeah, I've started keeping track what I'm eating. I've also been sleeping more.
So far, I'm only managing to keep it at around 1600-1800mg a day. The goal is to go below 1500.
I have see some 10-point drop in both systolic and diastolic, but they are still high.
Good luck to both of us. We will do it.
