I just took my blood pressure. My dad has high blood pressure (he's 79 yrs old). He is in town for the holidays and was taking his pressure which was over 200. Yes, yikes Anywho... my ex (ie my kid's mom) always criticizes me because I drink beer. But its like 3 beers a week if I had to estimate an average. Her BP was 150 something. That's stage 2 hypertension! She's a medical professional and thinks she knows about diet. She eat a lot more processed foods than me. She's skinny though. I try to focus on a whole foods diet. And I exercise a lot. In the past 10 years I have also grown, at least 1/8". That was in my.... 40s
