I should be dancing raw

In October of 2005 I was diagnosed with hypertension and was given a prescription of half a caplet of Teveten every day for the rest of my life.  My doctor also advised me to take up dancing ("Magdancing ka!"). Though I suppose she really meant I should increase my physical activity.

Oh well, little does my doctor know, I stopped taking my medication ever since I noticed a drop in my blood pressure last November. And though I have a standby prescription from Dra. Ginny (there are some extremely stressful days when my BP rises abnormally), I have not swallowed the pill recently. Credit that to some adjustments in my lifestyle. More fiber. Less fat. Less salt. More exercise. Multivitamins. Jimmy Buencamino suggests that I add to my list some relaxation activities, so maybe I should take up yoga. Or increase my prayer time.

My BP this morning was 110 over 71 (though slightly higher for most parts of the day). Beautiful. The regimen seems to be working. Maybe I should pass by the grocery later for some Nesvita. Why not? Leilah should know (She lost 30 lbs. this year). Check out the ad:
