stroke level less than a year ago (200/100) I have lost 90 pounds, and
it now averages 120/70. Losing the weight really did help me."And it DID help me, Mu. How can you possibly disagree with that? The fact
that the other factors are intertwimed does not change the fact that losing
weight did, indeed, help me lower my bolld pressure. So did exercising
more. So did changing my diet. All 3, intertwined. I still have no idea
why you posted what you did.
Watch the slow, bouncing ball and read along.
If you cannot separate these intertwined activities then it is
impossible to tell if one, all, some, none or any has any
effect on your BP.
Think of your exercise, weight loss, change of eating...all the things
you have mentioned, think of them as if they were a, er, a baseball
team, yeah! Who won the game for you? Your pitcher, Mr. Weight Loss? Aw,
he did a great job, he shutout the Demon Overeaters..but what about Mr.
Exercise, your All Star shortstop, he gobbled up calories and threw them
to...Mr. Metabolism who caught them an...and... gave the ball to Mr.
Doctor Umpire who said, "End of inning, let's play two (no, that was
Ernie Banks), let's play the next inning. Score is Demon Overeaters, 12,
Team Teachrmama, -19 (you see your supposed to be losing, right!) Soon
Nurse UmpireBPReader calls the plate umpire, Dr., uh, Dr. UmpireDoctor
and tells him how badly, no, goodly you have lost!
Game Over, Winner TeachermamaTeam !!!
Now, who was responsible for winning the game with the OverEaters?

´Oh your koala very cute¡ ever again. If there is an off chance that if
I do encounter a koala, I may have to punch it in the face as a result.
Even a pretty koala looks ugly with a broken nose.
