I left the doctors office for two hours after arrival. I decided I would drive my wife to work and tell her personally bad news and good news about my health. Instead of just sitting around and talking, we went for a walk and talk.
Honey I've got some good news and some bad news, let me give you the short version during our walk starting from the bad news.
My intake of food can not have more than 1500 mg of sodium per day.
Dining out in restaurants is history for me.
Dried spices are the sodium, so that they can not be used anymore.
I'll probably have to take medication for the rest of my life.
This information explains a lot of things that are happening to me as why we get headaches when I eat certain foods. When I looked back, my blood pressure was probably great for some time, and high sodium foods such as wings, burgers with fries and meat lovers pizza probably pushed my blood pressure numbers so high I dare not imagine.
As a proud man, I never wanted to be told how I should live my life. Success or failure is something you want to be able to control. Now I have to take medicine every day if I want argument was brief. It's almost a monologue, take a pill and live.
For now is good news.
We can push away the silent killer for many decades, if we do it right. There are numerous restaurants that serve crappy food now have a reason not to eat any of them.
