I was on four different blood pressure meds, including a Diuretic, an Ace Inhibitor and a Calcium Channel Blocker, plus Pravachol for my high Cholesterol.
Through a daily program of exercise; small serving, frequent feeding diet; and avoiding the things that negatively effected my blood pressure, heart rhythm, breathing and other health problems, I've been able to reduce down to just one blood pressure medication, Coreg.
Recently, I've increased the serving size and calories of my diet, and have seen a corresponding increase in my blood pressure. Then, I increased the servings size some more, and not only experienced another increase in my blood pressure, but also an increase in my blood sugar.
So...... now I'm having an issue of self control. I was on a very strict diet since 2004, and stayed with it religiously, BUT....... I am really enjoying the increased eating and snacking.
To me, a healthy diet is the best medication that one can take to improve one's health. But it is just so hard to do.
Anyone get to the point you were able to reduce their BP meds?
