Two weeks ago, on October 15th, in a routine medical check the doctor
found out that my blood pressure was so high that I could have
suffered significant damage.
I like to call it "the incident" for some reason, don't know why.
From that day on, my life has changed significantly. Now I eat without
any added salt, I avoid coffee, alcohol and any other thing that can
make my blood pressure rise.
What is more, since I need to lead a healthy life, I do not eat sugar.
The only sugar I get comes from fruit. Can't get any healthier.
Thus, I think I started a chain reaction in the sense that
avoiding salt and sugar I do not eat ultra-processed food anymore.
And, if you ask me, I will tell you that even though my life is a bit
boring I really feel good (as in healthy) and also happy that it was
all something I can write about without having suffered any damage or
attack.
As I am writing this, I have a blood pressure monitor attached to my
left arm and it is telling me that the results are back to normal.
Apart from regularly checking my blood pressure at home I have to go
from time to time to the doctor's so that she can see that my health
is on the right track. No problem, everything is ok now.
Stay healthy!
