I just went to see the doctor last week for my annual check-up.
Everything was good, but my LDL was borderline, and I was advised to lose a bit of weight.
We had a chat about high blood pressure (BP), and here are some key points:

1. The youngest high BP case he has seen was as young as 9 years old. The child wasn’t obese, so it could be genetic.
2. Coffee can cause a temporary spike in BP due to caffeine.
3. Lack of sleep and stress also play a role.
4. If you are obese, the best thing you can do is get to a normal/healthy BMI first.
5. Diet (eating right) is more important than exercise.
6. Leisure walking is better than running especially for obese people.
7. Weight/Bodyweight training is better than HIIT or cardio.
8. Unless you have a specific fitness goal, points 5,6 and 7 are enough to maintain your health.

Stay fit and healthy /ktard~

Need to go to doctor to check and determine what is the cause of high blood pressure.

Contrary to popular believe, high blood pressure can have multiple cause that is not related to diet.

My last check shows that everything in my blood test is OK and need to perform further check for endocrine and MRI since I am also constantly dizzy.

MRI result shows that I have a blood vessel impacting a nerve in my left brain leading to vertigo, discomfort and contributed to high blood pressure.

I am curious on point #7. Weight training is better than cardio? Mind to explain on that? Thanks.

I suffer from HBP since age of 40 (now in 50s) with weight around 70kg. The meter went up > 200 until error displayed when first discovered. Have to stay hospital a few days for observation. I don't feel any pain or anything cause by HBP. The doctor prescribe HBP pills. However all these years blood pressure is not stable, mostly high. Much later more dosage prescribed until doctor said dunno what other medicine to add.

A few years ago, I discover sugar/carbohydrate is the culprit. By doing intermittent fasting and low or no sugar/carb diet, I manage have stable blood pressure and permanently reduce medicine by half. Eat only two meals a day. No rice, noodles, bread etc. Only vege and meat. Skip breakfast. No snacks, late dinner and supper. Eat real food and not process/junk/fast food. Avoid sweet and alcohol drinks. It may take weeks or months for blood pressure to come down. Intermittent fasting and diet also reduce weight which is a good thing.

IMO, in general Malaysian food contains too much carbs and drinks are too sweet. Also poor eating habits. That's why more youngsters nowadays get HBP and diabetes.
