Blood Pressure July 7

Blood pressure readings were encouraging back on July 7, still dropping after having sworn off fast food:

How low can you go?

Blood Pressure July 1

Blood pressure still dropping after quitting Taco Bell and any other fast food. I may have reached a plateau at this point. Dropped ten lbs to 195 as a nice side-effect. Here it is:

Blood Pressure Update

After five days without Taco Bell for lunch and sometimes dinner, my blood pressure has dropped 13 points in systolic pressure and 2 points in diastolic pressure. Relaxation phase (diastolic) is obviously going to be more challenging, over time to improve upon.

Blood Pressure Concerns

After several months of 10 hour days in a health-care office and living on Taco Bell "fast food" I noticed that my blood pressure is the highest it has ever been. I decided to see if and how far I could bring it down, starting today. Beginning tactics:

1. Quit Fast Food
2. Eat Sardines in Olive Oil
3. Jog or run more often at 25 minutes per session.
4. Jog at least 3 times per week.
5. Avoid red meat

If this has no effect I will further cut calories and increase exercise time and intensity.

Stay tuned for blood pressure updates!
