The curious case of high blood pressure around the world
My dad got diagnosed with high blood pressure when he was 30.<p>For the past 26 years, our family has maintained a low-salt, low-oil diet. There is regular exercise and walking. Low consumption of alcohol and also junk&#x2F;saturated fatty food, meditation and breathing exercises.<p>I&#x27;m damn proud of my dad and the way he&#x27;s maintained his blood pressure problem throughout his life. As a by product, the entire family is health conscious. Props to my mom for making sure we always eat well and healthy. It wouldn&#x27;t be possible without her constant effort.<p>As a result of growing up in this household, I&#x27;m extremely sensitive to salty, oily,and junk food. In the sense that, it doesn&#x27;t cause a reaction or anything, but I can TASTE the HIGH amount of salt and oils in All the food that&#x27;s served around me, and I see people gobbling it up without even realising.<p>Lifestyle diseases.
