Look up the DASH diet, it's been proven to reduce bp the order of
6mm/4mm. May be enough to reduce meds. Weight loss of 10 kG (22 pounds
or so) has been found to be worth about -10mm/-7mm or so.

BP does matter: things start happening more often once you start
running above 115/77 pr sp, and of course get worse the high it is.
Hey, the changes aren't dramatic, but it's your life. Even if the
likelyhood of a stroke in a given year goes from 3% to 2%, if it's YOUR
stroke that's avoided, you're ahead of the game.

Take responsibility!
