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.
