Conquered High Blood pressure naturally



In my quest to bring down my blood pressure natually from stroke level of 150/90, I have succeeded well beyond my wildest dreams. My blood pressure was verified at the Take Care Clinic yesterday at 108/58. This is well below the recommended 120/80 or less. This along with me getting a flu shot at the same time earned me a total of 600 points on my wellness points which put me less than three hundred points for the Gold status level.

To natually bring it down it was a combination of watching my soduim intake, eating bananas and yams and exercising daily. So I have avoided having to take blood pressure medications. This is a big deal for  me because my mom and brother are on high blood medications and have Diabetes. I haven't had that but was pre diabetic last year.

Now I need to put more focus on losing more weight. My last three weigh my weight has stayed the same in the 286-287 range. So I haven't lost any weight in a while. I've been drinking more soda and junk food but has drastically cut out fast food. Good news on the cut in the fast food is more money in my pocket, that stuff is expensive. My steps on my fitbit have come down from my normal of 60,000 steps a week to around 45,000 steps. So that has to go back up along with more gym time.

So I got more work to do and still conquer new goals. My next weight goal is to lose six more pound so I can gain 1,400 points in my wellness points and put my wife and I in the Gold status. More later, take care.
