Mi not even a go badda talk...... I've been on the on-again-off-again wagon where eating is concerned. I don't know why but the minute I get into a haze it is no eating (period) and I was like that for the past two months. I'm trying to do better -- so ate breakfast, lunch, and well... mi couldn't badda wid dinner.. a glass of wine is suffice.

I lost 7lbs.. regained 3 lbs. lol! Doing 26 miles per week for the running, mixed with core and strength training.

I'm not even sleeping at nights. My body clock has been messed up. </div></div>

Keep at it Sandi

Please watch your potassium ... I think you should go see a bush doctor ... yes my aunt ended up in the hospital because of low potassium issues thanks to blood pressure meds I gone do some research for natural ways to help keep the pressure down so you can dash weh the meds.

Re: Healthy living -Exercise or lack there of

alrite this list seh HBP influenced by these factors:

Who Is More Likely to Develop High Blood Pressure?

People with family members who have high blood pressure.
People who smoke.
African-Americans.
Women who are pregnant.
Women who take birth control pills.
People over the age of 35.
People who are overweight or obese.
People who are not active.
People who drink alcohol excessively.
People who eat too many fatty foods or foods with too much salt.

Look like Skelly just need to watch her diet with the fatty salty food, and increase her exercise?

or is there more she can do?

Re: Healthy living -Exercise or lack there of

eerrrr...not that simple CB.

If you are pre-disposed to have it ..yuh coulda 95lb, you can get it
HBP is chronic in my family. My Bro at 35 who goh a gym 5 times a week have it.

Yep diet have something to do with it especially if you are overweight but you cannot discount other factors that can lead to it.

My Doc even told me that watching sodium intake not going to help much...especially when it is hereditary

Worth highlighting. on my online food log i make sure to track both my sodium and potassium. i'm prone to HBP too, and hate taking pills, so have gone the low/no salt route, lots of liquid, moderate exercise and diet (mostly whole foods, little to no processed food), and increased potassium intake.

potassium rich foods include most fruits, especially bananas. Potatoes in skin, swiss chard and greens are also good, and, i believe, yellow yam.

my last blood pressure reading at the doc was 130/82, good for someone of my health history. and that's without taking meds.

you can do it, skelly.
