[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 90/60 is considered low, but if you have a naturally low blood pressure you are less at risk for a heart attack. I have a low blood pressure and have been diagnosed with bradychardia. I’m thinking of taking up free diving 🙂
Pizza, ice cream, and fries are not food. One day they will have the same stigma attached to them as smoking. A major problem is people don’t know how to prepare, cook, and eat healthily. It isn’t helped by the food industry that has no interest in our health, and most doctors are not trained sufficiently in nutrition. Transitioning to a healthy diet is quite easy, the obstacle being more silly preconceived notions than anything else. If your digestive tract is telling to satiate by eating more of the bad stuff (salts, sugars), you will not be able to taste finer, healthy foods. Cut them out, and eventually you will see what you have been missing out on: a whole new range of new tastes and possibilities …and it is good for you. Wholefoods is a good place to start. Some vegetarian restaurants will also open up the palate. Don’t by a salad in a restaurant as most have no clue what a salad is. Healthy eating is fine eating.
