[quote=scaredyclassic]I do have low blood pressure 112/72. I feel like I should have high blood pressure. I get uptight. Nervous. But I dont. So in spite of the potential futility of it, I will eat my oatmeal and flax. Some herring from Costco and some salad. And the occasional protein shake at the gym.[/quote]
I think you’re taking things a bit too extreme. I think unless you have a hereditary condition, just do normal things in moderation is fine…
Cardio-exercise (not that I do regularly..loll..).. Eat relatively healthy (most of the time)….
And get your annual checkups…
If it makes you feel better, a glass of red wine every so often, since it’s suppose to be good for the heart too. (your liver on the other hand…)…
For the longest time, I took a small baby aspirin almost every day, as recommended by my doctor… It was for something else (supposedly cuts down on colorectal polyps) but supposedly he mentioned also beneficial for the heart..
For me, I’m going sort of the opposite side… I figure I’m being scoped, doctored, monitored almost every week, I refuse to be 100% careful now.. You could be 100% health conscious and still be hit with some health issue beyond your control..You can go to the gym everyday, exercise like a fiend, and then because of the strain, get a heart attack like it happened to some early 30ies-40ies…
So live life a bit…That KFC sure tastes smacking good every so often… As much as I like Chick-fil-a… Deep fried extra crispy KFC is still the best…
