My Battle with Hypertension Day7

It's been a week now when I started monitoring my blood pressure and I am so pleased that after the many fluctuations, my BP has officially dropped to 110/80.

Was it the Reducol of Del Monte Pineapple Juice, the magnesium and potassium contents of my vitamins or my Simvastatin?

We will soon see after a month.

My Battle with Hypertension Day3

Yay! Today my blood pressure reading dropped to 120/80, which is also good because I feel a lot better now as compared to a few days ago. I have to attribute this to yesterday's all vegetable lunch (minus the coconut milk of course), pineapple juice, an oatmeal dinner and moderate exercise. Taking Simvastatin before bedtime also helps with my sleeping.

I hope this stabilizes at 120/80 for now, though I hope to get a lower reading soon.
