I am fifty eight years old. I am a smoker. I've had Hypertensive High Blood Pressure for over 4 years now and possibly longer. Currently I am on ten pills a day to control my blood pressure. The more blood your heart pumps the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure. You can have high blood pressure (hypertension) for years without any symptoms. Even without symptoms, damage to blood vessels and your heart continues and can be detected. My doctors have leveled my BP most days but I have my moments with it putting me in the ER. My fatigue levels I experience sometimes make me feel worthless. I have experienced severe blackouts when getting up too quick. It is like someone turning the lights out on me at night. Like a dimmer switch. My anxiety is thru the roof at time with a raise in my BP.I am a junk food junkie. I love quick pastries and greasy hamburgers. Fried Chicken was easy and quick at the KFC. I acted like a starved ravenous pig for the fast food fries. At eighteen I became a retail manager. Fast food was quick and easy. Never did I ever spend under a 70 hour week managing these stores. Later on in my life my friends and I created an Italian restaurant, a burger joint and Sunday Creek Restaurant. We dealt mostly in comfort foods we all love to enjoy. It is Ok to cheat once in a while but my condition no longer allows the carbs, sugar and sodium fast foods offer up.Four years into my Hypertensive High Blood Pressure I nearly went into Congestive Heart Failure. I thought I had pneumonia. My fatigue was at an all-time low. The ER connected EKG wires and took five vials of blood. After chest x-rays and injections to get fluid off my heart and lungs, the physician said, "John, did you know you have a bad heart?" I remember sitting in the hospital room and looking out the window at the beautiful day God had given me. I remember praying that my disease would go away. It has haunted me for nearly four years and possibly all my life. I look from the window as a nurse puts dinner in front of me. Really, where is the comfort food? I bowed my head to cry. As I rose my head to see the wonderful trees outside I realized what God was trying to tell me something. He told me to cook and eat smart. I got this!This is my 30 day journey to a leveled blood pressure, leveled sugar, good cholesterol thru exercise and nutrition. Please consult your physician before starting this diet. I forgot I was a cook and I can change this! Special thanks to David Green for helping.John R. Carpenter
