Micheal's family history has a lot of high blood pressure..long lives, but HBP. And as long as I've known him he's been a HUGE red meat eater. AND he stresses out pretty easily. AND he bottles everything up because he doesn't want to worry me. AND he's put on some weight around his tummy the last few years...30lbs or so.
for years I've been worried about all that in regards to his health. He RARELY goes to the doctor, and only when he needs stitches or something "emergency" like. It was 6 years from his last physical. He FINALLY agreed to make a Dr appointment. Blood drawn, urine sample. Full thing. YIPEE!!!
I was certain we were going to need to go on a reduced fat diet, watch the cholesterol, etc. however...
Tests came back with not just normal levels of hdl/ldl/lipids whatever..but GOOD! And the blood pressure was 130/74 :boxed: This man eats meat, mainly BEEF with almost every meal! Very few veggies. Some fruit. Meat and potatoes and bread kind of guy. :roll: oh yah...and lots of cheese and ice cream and eggs.
I tell ya what...I'm just gonna give up trying to figure it out! where's my wine? :drunk:
