What I constantly see is a situation where it's 95% diet and 5%
hereditary - and yet all of the 95% think they belong to the 5% - ie "it's not my fault - and nothing can be done about it" Well, we're gonna have a serious go at discerning the difference. Day One of my new diet is complete -- lots of fruit and vegetables, very little salt, no red meat. I feel positively *burp* fruity... I'm going to forego taking the meds for now, and go to my follow-up doctor's visit in a month. We'll see if the BP is any different. If it's not, after a serious month of dieting, I'll quietly take my medicine, dammit. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

In addition to the diet, exercise, and meds discussed in this thread,
I've always been curious whether there is any incremental benefit from devices like these?: www.cardiogrip.net http://www.intercure.com/products.asp |

My stepson had just seen some of those at the Philly zoo when Elisabeth found a kitten in a culvert - hence the name. We have a total of six cats, all of which were strays. We also get to yell at our coonhound sometimes (the neighbors are used to hearing "G*dammitt Ruby" at odd hours). Our conures yell at us. None of which leads us to believe reports that keeping pets reduces blood pressure. Unless the pets are fish. George Patterson Drink up, Socrates -- it's all-natural. |

The good news is that the ACE meds are very effective and, for me, have had no side affects, not even the cough often mentioned. Matt |

I have a dog. Some studies have shown that pets help reduce one's BP I'm not positive but I think studies have shown that it's not so much having the dog that makes the difference, it's the excersize you get walking it... Although petting your adoring dog might have some palliative effect. Corky Scott |

I think the same "relaxation" effect can be obtained with other types of pets (like cats), too, so I don't think they were refering to walking it. --- Jay -- __!__ Jay and Teresa Masino ___(_)___ http://www2.ari.net/jmasino ! ! ! http://www.oceancityairport.com http://www.oc-adolfos.com |

Then a year ago, Sally bought two Maine Coon Cat kittens. One of them is just a plan dumb feline, or smart feline, but anyhow the sort of critter you'd kick out of your way if you were sure your wife would never know about it. But the other is the most endearing animal I've ever met. I just enjoy having him around. I'm a bit shy to say it, but we like to butt heads. I will also pick him up, inverted, and he will box my face with his claws tucked in. This is the first time I've experienced what others seem to get from pets, and I must say that to the extent that being overtly happy will translate to a longer life, then pets are a good thing. (Unless they're the kind you want to kick Harry Potter (such is his name) makes me happy. -- all the best, Dan Ford email (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's Forum: www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum: www.pipercubforum.com the blog: www.danford.net |
