Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 30
The doctor’s visit illustrated the frustrations that diet/fitness can produce. My blood chemistry is good. My mobility is good. (Apparently not all big 55 year olds can squat down to the ground and stand again without assistance.)
However, after over two years of relentless effort, my damn blood pressure is wrong. And it’s not the lab coat syndrome (I had 20 minutes yoga breathing in advance and I had not been riding for an hour before the test.)
Again, the damn weight. And age. I can’t do anything about time. WebMD writes that “For every 20 pounds you lose, you can drop systolic pressure 5-20 points.” I need to drop the 20 points or more. Actually for normal BP I need to drop 46 points.
So, little BP pills are in my system and I’ve changed my diet chart to track blood pressure.
My weigh-in and measurements are later today. I guess I’ll need those numbers as the new baseline to see how to knock down the blood pressure.
