I have read many articles on the interwebs about lowering blood pressure but I want to hear from real people. Have you lowered your blood pressure without medication? What did you do? What did you stop doing? How much did you lower your blood pressure, and how long did it take?
At the moment, I eat 3 squares a day, between 10:30 and 8:30, and stay hydrated. I do not drink alcohol or caffeine, don't smoke, and rarely eat fast food. Still my blood pressure has been higher than it should be for some time, so farewell to desserts, candy, chips, etc. I am also giving up other salty and sugary foods for at least a month and plan to become more physically active.
Will that be enough? Guess I will find out. In the meantime, please share your success story if you have been able to reduce your blood pressure without medication. If you tried but failed and want to share your story as a cautionary tale, that's good too. Thanks, hive mind! |
