Awww!, you beat me to it.
Try eating lesser food cooked outside, be it, hawkers centre, food court, coffee shop or any small, medium or large restaurant; famous or not! Had discussed this with my doctor, everything out there, is loaded with bad oils, plenty of salt, sugars, cheap bad flour, substandard ingredients...anything & everything is loaded like a gun that will shoot you dead!. How not to get Hypertension or HPB?? Rarely anyone who eats out most of the time will get a good reading of 120-130/80...most will go by, living life on the edge with 165-170/90.
Try cooking your own meals, though it may not be easy, but try! or eat moderately, as my doctor will say...watch carefully what you eat & exercise. I does a 2.4km, 30 minutes walk every day, doing a 6,000 steps a day..trying best to reach the 'recommended' 10,000 steps a day, by not using too much the escalator, & certain distances, walk...not take the bus etc.
Reducing or getting rid of the PxP will reduce the BP too...for they are the major causes of HBP...& even strokes...heh heh heh heh
