BP Update & latest changes (brazil nuts, Daily Dozen)

BP has been pretty high for a while, usually around 170/115.  Heart rate has been somewhat low, in the 70s so I know the Metroprolol is doing something.    Started to think that maybe my high cholesterol is keeping my BP up.   Read a book called "How not to Die" and it is it said how just eating four brazil nuts a month can lower cholesterol.  So I had four nuts on 1-1-20 and an occasional one here and there.  Been trying to eat nuts when I remember, and also trying to incorporate ground flax seeds when i can.   That same book talks about the Daily Dozen so I got the app and trying to eat more on that list.  Basically try to eat daily:  beans, fruit, berries, cruciferous veggies, leafy greens, veggies, flaxseed, herbs/spices, whole grains, nuts/seeds, beverages, exercise, B-12 foods.  Could take a month or two to see results.  Keeping fingers crossed.   Hope this works.  Been feeling old and getting worried about what could happen.
