I have already started regular physical activity. How long does is generally take for the effects to reverse. Also do i have to abstain from alcohol totally or can i continue to take in moderation sometimes.
Brief Answer:
it will take minimum of 3 months to see the change
Detailed Answer:
Its better you stop completly because if a person who is alcholic he will never stop with 1 or 2 drinks .
And the changes you can see atleast after 2 to 3 months but better you should continue even its normal in future.

My BP is also high. Its at 100/140. Is it very high or within reasonable limit. What can i do to bring it down without going on medication
Brief Answer:
Is it really 100/140 or its either ways .
Detailed Answer:
If diastolic is 140 then you need treatment but check it again its 100/140?
usually its unlikely to be like that .
if its either way around like 140/100 you can actually try some yoga ,meditation and low salt diet ,but still its persistently high then you need to consult your doctor for proper anti hypertensive.
