Considers investigating the effect of diet on blood pressure, including a macrobiotic diet.

 



I think diet is the one thing that I do wonder whether I should investigate, but both the canesiologist and the homeopath said that they didn't think that it was diet related. At the same time, given that it hasn't actually come down as much as I hoped, I think it's the next thing I need to look in to; but my diet I feel is fairly good already. Most of the family are vegetarian, I'm not actually vegetarian, but I eat very little meat. As I say, my cholesterol levels are already proved to be good. We don't have a lot of salt in our food so I'm not quite sure what else I could give up.

People do talk about dairy products but I'm not convinced. At the same time I think diet is the next thing I will investigate. I think it would be the next thing that would definitely worth trying. I certainly wouldn't go back to the doctor until I had tried a change of diet. We spoke about going onto a macrobiotic diet but as yet I've yet to find a good book on it, so it's something I keep meaning to do and haven't got round to doing yet.
