Something that I've been doing a lot more lately is cooking frozen vegetables when I want a snack. Mixed vegetables, corn, green beans, whatever have been quite filling for an evening snack instead of a chicken sandwich or piece of cake.
Also something unexpected has happened. My blood pressure has started to decrease! I am still a little above normal, but this change has made a huge benefit.
Just make sure that you do NOT eat the canned vegetables. They have 10 times as much sodium as frozen.
I got this idea because I saw a guy at my office cook frozen vegetables in the microwave as I was grabbing my daily Snickers bar.
I said, "Ok, that looks easy, and it's cheaper too!" Okay, it's better for me as well.
I've been starting to mix it up so that it doesn't get boring. Corn one day, mixed the next, green beans on Friday.
I hope it helps you. I'd love to hear your comments. I know that the garlic pills, low-dose aspirin, fish-flax-borage tablets, vitamin C, calcium haven't been helping me much.
