Keeps the doctor away. Too bad, I’m not too fond of apples. I only like the skin. Once all the skin’s gone, that’s it. The apple goes down the trash. And that’s the reason why I don’t buy apples often.
Even if I load up on apples now, I guess it’s meant for me to see my doctor every quarter. Oh, I forgot, it should be every four months. Yes, I just got the word today, that instead of every quarter, it’s now every four months. This is my “heart ” doctor, I’m talking about. I see him for my hypertension. If you don’t know by now, yes, I’ve had high blood pressure for so many, many years already. No one ever thought I would get it that early as I was skinny as a rail. I guess it’s in the genes.
I pop a pill a day, and just eat whatever I want. Although I should be steering away from salt and salty food, I continue to ingest highly seasoned food. Why not? I figure, that’s the reason pills were invented. My blood pressure is very stable and maintained at 110/80 with my current regimen. I wonder what happens if I really cut out red meat, salt and fatty stuff from my diet. Maybe I can be withdrawn from the pill. Ah… wishful thinking.
This is it for today…in My World.

I on the other hand, take the skin off of the apple before eating it, hehehe! I don’t hypertension but I have always been on the “plump” side instead of “skinny”! *sigh*

Hello Juliana,
Nowadays, even if your skinny, it’s no longer a surprise if you have hypertension.
It’s a known fact that fruits like apple make us healthy but we prefer to eat unhealthy food such us meat/pork that deteriorates our health problem.
Hayyy, why is it so hard to stick with balance diet? Does it have something to do with discipline or just trying to enjoy life by eating whatever can make us happy?

hypertension does run in the genes. no matter how careful you are, it will still come out. so its better to enjoy what you like doing

I must pay more attention on my health like doing a medical check up. Both of my parents have high blood pressure.

It really isn’t that hard to let go of a lot of red meat. Eat lots of chicken, turkey, and fish instead. It doesn’t have to be organic. Red meat is expensive. Save the red meat for when you go out to eat.

I had terribly high BP a few years ago.. 160/110
I was on the conraceptive pill.. within 3 months of coming off, it was down to around 125/72 (average)
I was so relieved!

love apples! skinless or not.
am currently watching my weight because my OB tells me so. Am glad i do, because i feel less bloated. and i think am being good with what i eat because my parents are both hypertensive and high on uric acid. it’s never too early to be careful.
hey sis, take lotsa care huh?
