This is something that I have been very aware of since I was diagnosed with High Blood Pressure. It seems that the biggest majority of people who are diagnosed with HPB also are told that if they lose weight it will increase the chances of lower their Blood Pressure.

Losing weight is harder than just a saying it, trying to do it and actually doing it. I do not believe in diets. I am sure there are diets that are affective, and I am sure some people have great results from them. If you do a Google Search on diets there were 22,000,000 results. So out of the 22,000,000 you know people have had to have results! I have often heard that losing weight is more than just losing it, the objective is keeping the weight off. I am a firm believer instead of dieting, people that focus more on changing your eating habit have better over results.

Believe you can do it and you can. My husband always tells me that once I set my mind to something, I can achieve it. I often think about my "Life Patterns" and in an odd way I agree with him. But for me it a two-fold thing now; I know what I must do, but my "Senior" mind is telling me if I want something then I have earned the years to have it. Of course I am talking about one of my addictions and that is "Sweets".

It has been a year now since I was told that I have High Blood Pressure and I needed to lose some weight. I look at this situation, look at the amount of food I eat, and not making any excuses, I really do not eat a lot. BUT what I do is eat the wrong foods and not exercise enough??

The Silent Killer

Clipped from www.squidoo.com

High Blood Pressure

The Silent Killer

What happens when you get up one morning and your legs are so wobbly that you cannot walk without feeling like you are going to fall because your sense of balance is off? Have you ever wondered why you seem to have a headache every single day? Have you ever wondered why your heart seems to beat faster than normal? Have you ever thought that you would have to go to the hospital and be hooked up to a heart monitor machine and your blood pressure read 214/114? Well, neither did I until two months ago.

I have never understood all of the things I have read or seen on the television about High Blood Pressure being the silent killer. Today I understand from firsthand experience. From my understanding there really are no early symptoms. In some cases it is known as Heredity Hypertension. I was told that no matter I had tried to do or what I planned to do that it was going to happen to me that it was just a matter of time! My first thought when I was told this was, How dare you say that to me what because I turned fifty one that automatically meant I was be diagnosed with High blood Pressure? It was no different than when I turned forty and went to the eye-doctor and he told me I would have to wear trifocals after he asked me how old I was!!
