Truth on Salt & High Blood Pressure

 

Nope.
I don't mean that.
Up to 140/90 is good to go for a 2 year card unless you are on meds to keep it that low.

 

Not true at all. Im 6ft 1. 175 lbs and have slightly high blood pressure. I work with a guy about 5ft 8. 350 lbs and he has low blood pressure without any meds.

 

Ok ok, I will edit my post. Thank you sir!

 

Avoid sugar, alcohol and caffeine a few days prior to your physical, sugar sends bp up more than people think. Also take omega oils like krill oil, about 1000 mg a day for a few weeks prior also..it helps thin the blood and drop blood pressure.

 

There are foods that have a high sodium content that you should avoid or at least consume in moderation. Read the labels on food containers. In general, foods with bacon, cheese and/or creamy sauces are often a problem. High blood pressure is very common. There is usually a better alternative in the grocery aisle if you read the labels and shop wisely. And don't stress about it so much because that can increase your blood pressure reading.
.
.For example: choose Pepsi or a store brand with lower sodium content instead of
Coke or Ginger Ale. Lightly salted chips instead of the regular chips. Personally, I avoid the no salt chips because they taste like [bleep]. Get your burger without cheese. Read the label on microwave Pizza carefully. The vegetable pizza would seem to be healthy but it is often terribly high in sodium level.

 

cut out all salt,,,ALL SALT also stop drinking soda pop, cut out all caffine too, get out of the truck and walk for 30 mins a day too,,

 

I read somewhere once that too much water before a BP reading can send it up as well. I guess it's something to with the body processing the liquid? Though I'm not a doctor and being a former radio DJ, I never played one on radio either.

 

I have heard the excess water thing before. Don't know if it has been proven, but it is easy enough to avoid drinking too much before an exam.

 

Dude i know with high bp took a viagra a couple hours before his physical and passed it. Then shortly after, he proceded to get a dr appt so he could get some bp meds.
