I am 41 years old and have been hypertensive since I was 27. I was on losartan 100 mg and amlodipine 10 mg already. I cannot eat high fat diet as I used to do even if I love to. Yesterday had been such a busy day because of high demands of my work, My BP rose. I aske my colleagues if they are not yet having diabetes, hypertension and other diseases. They are lucky because they are healthier. I have to go to work out now. I need to be healthy. More than anything, health is valuable

@Letranknight2015 that is why you should also take care of your health and your weight. I was heavy before and I was so sickly. Now that I lost weight, I feel good about myself

Our dishes are delicious but full of fats. I hope we could find ways to make Filipino dishes more healthy

@mimiang yes exercise is very important, we should skip it due to our laziness but it's not good.

My BP is low and I also have cervical spondylytes which is becoming severe these days even though I do regular exercises. After 40 years of age one must give special care on health, diet, exercise etc. Take care.

@marlina , That is true . We should strive to be healthy. We should also not strain ourselves to far at work and neglect our body.
