Right, which is why I’m surprised his doctor hasn’t put him on at least a low dose medication yet. Even if there are behavioral things he can do to lower it naturally, high blood pressure is not something you want to play with long-term. They literally call it “the silent killer.” I get wanting to take as few meds as possible, but if you’re going to take any, I’d think a BP med would be the one. And in my experience, most doctors aren’t nearly as conservative regarding BP medications as they are with other things, so again, it’s a little surprising his didn’t. Unless his BP is like 125/82 or something, just barely over “normal.”


Somebody mentioned lowering your resting heart rate above. Besides all the things mentioned to help lower BP (diet, less alcohol, more water, and obviously exercising), are there any specific foods/supplements that can help that? I fricked my foot up about 10 years ago and had to quit running and my resting heart rate skyrocketed. And at 42, it actually makes me nervous to get it up when doing any form of cardio now.
