[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1642757, member: 25884"] I had an episode thinking it was maybe a stroke when my eyes locked to the right and I literally couldn't move them. No slurred speech or any other signs but went to the ER and then they tried to say it was a seizure and wanted me to go on a seizure medicine.... but no one could find any real answers. So had to get a doctor for followup, and also went to a neurologist who didn't find anything.... but the new dr said that my blood pressure was a little high, and that I should start taking these meds, and that I needed all this other stuff. I refused the blood pressure meds.... had an ankle replacement in Feb and it went from 185/94 all the way down to 117/72.... with all the times I had checkups and such. I try to not overdo the sugar, and don't drink much soda. I do like ice cream.... but walking is not an option right now due to the very bad knees that need replacing next. However, all this said.... My chiropractor who said that the eye problem was a severely out of alignment spine that I went to him for awhile to get it back in alignment, and try to go for maintenance to keep it decent.... and my body has had some major abuse.... told me that the last time he recently went to some more updated/schooling... that they say take your age ; add 100 and that should be the top end of your top number and that your bottom number should be below half that. The formula is for people over 50 or so. He said that the numbers they have come out with nowadays are way too low for most seemingly normal healthy people. He did say that walking or MODERATE bike riding is better than running or alot of strenuous workouts.... weights will build muscle which will bring down actual BP numbers. Most everyone could due to lose a little weight, and as the joints ache more, the weight does creep up. That has been my problem with the ankle and now the knees. It just hurts too much to walk the pastures like I used to. The Mennonite women here are big on the 10,000 steps a day to lose some then as your body gets more accustomed, to keep it in check. If you are anywhere near a pool, that is the easiest on the joints, and it is great resistance as well as non-weight bearing stress on the knees, feet and hips. And look at the Keto diets... with all the fats; that are considered healthy fats.... I have several friends that have incorporated just a few things into their diets from keto plans and have lost a little weight and toned up and have lost cravings for sweets that they used to have. Yes, high-fructose corn syrup is worse than regular sugar.... the body processes it differently and you get alot more bad effects from it.... most of us ingest too much sugar.... but the refined high fructose kind is worse [/QUOTE]
