[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1623276, member: 438800"] [B]Day One: No coffee[/B] blood-pressure experiment. [B]140/90[/B] at 8:30 a.m. before eating any food. [B]137/84[/B] at 9:30 a.m. half an hour after breakfast. [B]139/93[/B] at 10:30 a.m. [B]127/79[/B] at 1:30 p.m. half an hour after lunch. [B]142/86[/B] at 4 p.m. one hour after the usual three-mile walk. Average of those five BP readings for the day: [B]137/86.[/B] Average of the three BP readings done on an earlier day in the caffeinated state: [B]139/88[/B]. So, "it's a wash" basically. I hope I will have the courage to continue the no-coffee experiment for another day or two, just in case the coffee is having a longer-term (several-day) impact on my BP and therefore I need to let more time elapse before the BP creeps downwards. I don't much like hovering somewhere near a 140/90 average because this may become too interesting for the doctors to ignore. I'm already doing all of the lifestyle things advised by the AHA, so what next, if it's not coffee.... [/QUOTE]
