After the exam, I was told by my doctor that the changes I noticed were just part of the aging process (!), not life-threatening and that I should monitor my symptoms to

Start walking. It's an easy form of exercise and doesn't require much motivation.

Use fresh garlic when you cook. Garlic is good for blood pressure.

Thanks for the tips! I happen to love garlic, so I'm halfway there. ^_^

I've been seeing an alternative therapist (energy worker) for awhile now, and it's only recently that it's kicked in. It's just a matter of convincing your body you want to be healthy, and then believing your body when it says it's ready.

My doctor is amazed by the changes in my health, and he and his partner have actually started referring patients to my therapist.

It's nothing too hokey -- lots of breathing, meditating, balancing energies in your body. If you have the chance to look into this, (Rapid Eye Therapy, Energy Healing, Reiki) I recommend it highly.

P.S. I've friended you back. :)

Thanks! I've been considering some alternative therapies myself. It's good to know that it actually works. I guess I have some research to do. Thanks for the idea!
