Pretzels can be good, just watch for the salt content on those. Subway has the baked lays chips and I looked at the calorie content on those...they are around i think 140 per bag which isnt too bad. Small servings I admit, but it provides that crunch that im sometimes looking for.

Something new i found you can use to lower blood pressure and that is Apple cider vinegar, the organic brand Bragg is the best to use, it not only aids in lowering blood pressure but works great to get keep heartburn and acid reflux gone. you can also take fish oil caplets as well as vitamin c to help lower blood pressure, apple cider vinegar really does work 2 tablespoons in 8 ounces of water 3 times a day works great.
JustSonny Thanks this. -
My big downfall has always been mountain dew!! I tried just switching over to water and couldnt do it!! Then I realized it wasnt the taste I craved it was the carbonization! I went to the local grocery store and picked up a few dozen 1 liter bottles of house brand sparkling waters in various flavors...at first I couldnt even taste em...now the are like mountain dew to me! And no calories or sodium. You are right, just cutting out soda is half the battle!!

Wal Mart has some great tasting charged waters as well in one liter bottles and they have lots of flavor in em. I like the wild cherry. -

I take my meds, eat as best I can, and bought a blood pressure log off amazon that I can track it with so when it comes time for my physicals I know it will be well controled and I'm good for the road for 2 years.

If you take meds your only supposed to get a cert for 1 year.....Trust me,look it up in the handy little ol fed handbook....Lot of docs screw that part up,but if in a fatal accident,I GUARENTEE a lawyer will not.

And depending on your blood pressure, you may be certified for only three months!

However, my blood pressure was still high and I tried many things other than medication to help. My wife heard on the radio one day that vitamin D would help. So, she picked me some up and has made me take it ever since. Don't know the dosage right off hand, but I simply take two every morning and that is it. Went to the doctor two weeks before I started taking it and my BP was 160/98. About a month later, I took my daughter to the doctor and asked if he would take my BP. It was 138/87. First time my diastolic had been that low in ten years. -
Mine is 140/90 and have since made some changes like actually getting excercise now and giving up all soda. I used to drink a lot of diet pepsi and never realized the sodium content.
