Update to my "I have High Blood Pressure" thread

[*Happily Me*]

http://www.longhaircareforum.com/for...d.php?t=202397

I went in for my checkup and my pressure was good. 122 / 80. Doc is putting me on half the norvasc for a week and wants me to check pressure daily. If it remains good, I get to come of that junk.

i'm soo psyched

Yay!!! Did you take magnesium? To what do you attribute your results?

[*Happily Me*]

OMG, so many things

Breakfast:
Organic smoothie which consists of
blueberries
strawberries or raspberries
Stevia
Green Vibrance
Coconut oil
Maca powder
Flax Seed Oil
Water, almond milk or coconut milk




When I get to work I take the following vitamins

Taurine 500 mg (The Health specialist at my local organic food market told me most HBB meds have taurine)

L-Lysine 500 mg

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine

SAM-E (S-Adenosyl Methionine) 200mg

Calcium Magnesium - 1000 mg of cal, 500 mg of mag (I only continued using this one to use it up. I'm going to purchase the one you recommended next)

Super Milk Thistle

Woman over 40 daily foods -- Now that I've tried this, I'll never use GNC brand again

Green Vibrance in my smoothies


Lunch

A tub of watermelon. Eating watermelon has been shown to reduce HBB

A small pack of seaweed salad

and potato chips



Dinner

A reward. Anything my lil heart wants. Sometimes, it's Johnny rockets, other times it's chinese. Whenever i cook, I use organic sea salt.

I have a glass of lemon water with MSM and stevia


I'm working my way to a mostly raw diet...

I exercise at least 4 times a week I do cardio and strenth training regulalry.

Congratulations DSylla, that's a great accomplishment, that cycle of pill taking is a bummer...magnesium, high magnesium foods, foods calculated to reduce bp levels, water intake, exercise, reduced stress is the way to go.

thanks ya'll. I check my pressure today at cvs and it was 144/90

but this was before i took my meds and I had a pork filled breakfast

~~

I stopped at the org food store and bought Daily Foods Magnesium. I stocked up on watermelon, seaweed salad and salsa and quacomole. In order to fix hbb, I have to focus on kidneys (says doc). So, I'm will be eating live foods and less meat .

I'm sure i'll grow to love it...
