I have cut down my sugar and salt intake , I do alot more walking and stopped smoking . I had a stent put in as one artery was completely blocked and have a stress test every 12 months.
Sounds like a common theme. I gave up fizzy's for the most part (being the major source of sugar), salt as much as is reasonably possible. Less processed foods, more grains etc. I've lost about 20kg from my heaviest after my accident and ride a bike to work. Resting heart rate is down, blood pressure is down (needs a little more work though), weight is down and life is looking good
I can no longer drink JD's or Beam Black just too hard it kills me. Need to take 40mg of the gear if I do. I drink a bit of coffee but I like Immortality need to have something nice to drink. I have had to cut back on fizzy cordial because that is bad, anything spicy I take a tablet before hand and another a few hours later. I suffer if I eat too much bread and bananas are bad too if I have anymore than 1 or 2 a day.
I only take 20mg per day, always before breakfast (even when breakfast is at 3pm before night shift). I found taking it on an empty stomach was bad and stuffed up my gut even more.
