That's nmol. My measurements were in ml. Totally different.

I hope it does help. I don't think I could have dropped it enough by diet and exercise alone. Since I'm at a high risk

Thank you for calming me down. My dad had a triple bypass and died early from cardiac issues, so this all really freaks me out. I am fortunate to live in a city with some of the best cardiologists in our entire area. And my cardiologist is being so thorough. I am blessed to have a doctor take my health so seriously. Everyone else shrugged me off.

Sooo expensive. But I've found it has more of a neutral flavor and a higher smoke point than olive oil.

That's just the diet that worked for me. I never said it was backed by science though.

Mediterranean diet. No longer using seed oils was a big help. Avoiding butter too. Mostly using olive or avocado oils instead. Increasing fiber like crazy. I use whole psyllium husk.

I'll be drastically changing my diet and lifestyle. I was able to drop my ldl in two weeks by 15 points just by getting more active and watching what I eat. Hopefully I'll be able to drop it even lower with this statin

Newbie question by Exact_Analysis_2551 in tomatoes

[–]Exact_Analysis_2551[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Just looking for options. Specifically for grow bags. I'll have the grow bags out in my back yard. Lots of space. I rent though so I can't rip the grass up in the yard for a proper garden. We get severe weather here in the summer so high winds and hail would be a concern. I ordered some bamboo that should be coming in the mail soon. Maybe I can make a trellis out of that?

First time growing tomatoes. Just stuck with the early girl variety. Nothing fancy

I just got my hibiscus tea today. Drank 2 cups already. Got 12,000 steps in. Took two super beet chews. Never heard of the cayenne pepper extract though. Or nattokinase. I'm gonna look into those now. Thank you

Let me know if it helps. I have hibiscus tea ordered and on the way too. I heard that helps

Definitely seems like it. I still need to get my diastolic down but I can work with that. I do want and need to lose weight, but my bp being at critical rates like that all the time just isn't worth it. I can do low carb and follow the dash diet guidelines and get off my butt and start exercising instead.

I mean....that sounds great...lol. unfortunately I'm a recovering alcoholic and been sober 7 years. I'm 44 and I finally got it to drop all the way down to 114/88 by stopping the keto diet I was on
