Again no doubt that lifestyle changes can positively affect health outcomes.
I am 67 walk several KM 4-5 times a week or ride my bike , work out in the gym, and do laps in the pool. I enjoy a mostly Mediterranean diet, and take supplements. No Processed foods. For breakfast I am Juicing it ( Tomato, beets, carot, celery.and a dash of tabasco.
Yet I have elevated BP.
I am highly offended offended when someone calls me lazy .
These are some of the question one needs to ask when thinking about the issue.
Does cholesterol affect BP? Do stress hormones affect BP? Does physiology affect BP? Do any of these things have a big genetic component? Can diet and exercise eliminate them?
Does aging affect BP, can diet eliminate aging?
