lower BP results!

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

This may not work for everyone, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

I regularly question myself, what may be missing in my diet? To achieve best

possible results.

The first thing that popped into my mind, was regular green vegies. And another

thing which I questioned, was it appropriate for my blood type, ancestry (coming

from a British type climate etc).

My BP has come down to 127 over 60 and similar numbers.And I am not on any BP

meds.

The addition to my diet has been daily intake of brussel sprouts. They must be

rich in folate, I would suspect?

Anyway, I am thrilled so far with the results. I still struggle with giving up

certain stimulants in my diet, such as coffee, and sweet things like an

occasional doughnut.

And I continue to donate blood every 3 months.

I continue to struggle with being overweight, but not grossly so.

I do use cranberry juice as a regular feature for kidney health.

With every good wish for the suffering .

Pete.

Hi Connie and Ralph,

Here is the link for the GRF calculator. Remember to put his weight in kg,

not pounds.

This one is the inverse creatinine plotting tool which you can also use.

Thanks for the suggestion . I do have to add my caution

especially to new members to never start any diet until you check with

your Neph. Some of us (myself included) have to be extremely careful

about potassium and many fruits and veggies are high in potassium and

can do more harm than good.

Any renal diet needs to be established with the consultation of your

Nephrologist and based on individual lab results.
