140 High Blood Pressure

My brother applied a blood pressure test on me and I got 140 and it is not a normal measurement.

I asked to have it measured because I feel wobbly for the past few days. I feel I am standing in the middle of  an earthquake. Even if I stand still or even seat still, there is an involuntary movement on some parts of my body, usually on my head.

Admittedly I have a very bad lifestyle, like I prefer cholesterol driven foods and not be active physically. I think I had better health when I am still commuting to work, I am more active at that time because I walk and move a lot, my weight is even lower back then.

I am now way overweight, eats a lot of junk food while watching television, I basically bum around the house after work since I consider this my relaxation period. Now, I want to change my lifestyle and I will try my best to cut down my blood pressure.

The basic remedies are the obvious ones like be physically active even in simplest form, as long as it can make you sweat and regulate the heart. Even walking around the park can do wonders and I will start with that. Eating healthy food is a must and I know this will be hard for me because eating is sometimes my outlet to stress. I will try to eat more on fruits and vegetables and less meat… and especially pork. I am a pork guy, I just ate Sisig few hours ago and probably that food triggered me to ask my brother, who is a doctor, for my blood pressure, its like “hey dude, stop eating me, you will have high blood”.

Stress.. well I know stress is part of life and I will  try my best to overcome stress both from work and personal life. Now I will focus primarily on setting everything right and have myself not fall to more deadly disease like stroke and heart ailment.

Wish me luck.
