Omega3s and Blood Pressure



I've always had problems with my blood pressure. I suppose after years of being overweight and not ever getting enough exercise it takes more than a year of eating right to get it back to where it should be.

Well, I was able to get my diastolic pressure down to below 75 a while back, but always had a problem with my systolic pressure. It was always over 140, usually between 140 and 150. At age 21, that is something to be concerned about.

So, I decided to try something completely stupid and completely against doctor wishes. I began taking up to 20 capsules of Omega3s everyday. Had some initial problems with going to the washroom, but I just tested myself this morning, and my blood pressure was after the 3rd test 121/55. It might not be the Omega3s by themselves, as a lot of people suggest that Omega3s along with exercise is the key if you have metabolic problems or high blood pressure.

My pulse was at 50, which is pretty cool too. I've always been able to bring my pulse down whenever I wanted too. Just depended on which ways I exercise.

I'm hoping to get it below 50, maybe below 45. Just something that motivates you to push yourself harder.

Oh, and take your Omega3s!
