Alcohol, Caffeine, Salt

 High Blood Pressure.

I'm told I've got it- or, at least, the little machines say so.

What do you to counter it (apart that is from taking nasty medicine)?

You cut back on alcohol, caffeine, salt.

Now interestingly I've been cutting back on alcohol and caffeine anyway- not for any thought-through reason but simply because I no longer want them. Wine, beer, coffee? No, most of the time I'll pass. Make mine a lemonade or even water. Water is good....

Because I think the body has its own wisdom. It knows what it needs or doesn't need. It makes its requirements felt. 

It hasn't yet told me that it doesn't care for salt, but I'm listening.....

Dietary

 Ailz says I should have put sugar on the list, along with alcohol, caffeine and salt. I don't remember the doctor mentioning it, but perhaps she did.

I like cake, but I don't think I have a sugar problem. I don't add it to anything, anyway. 

Ailz also says that if we cut processed food out of our diet our intake of salt and sugar would fall to an acceptable level....
