What Can I Do To Lower My Blood Pressure And Cholesterol?
What can I do to lower my blood pressure and cholesterol on my own without meds??
I am wanting to stop taking so many meds and I was wanting to know what kinds of food should I *avoid* and what kinds of foods would *help* me lower these two things? I know that getting active will help but what other things can I do on my own?? Thanks for your help.
