Hi,

My doc wants me to go on tablets for high blood pressure and high cholesterol, I know she only has my health at heart but I will not take them!
I have got a bad family history though, dad died when he had his second heart attack at 86, one brother has had 3 strokes, the last one a month ago and all three of my brothers have high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
I really have got to get a grip on my weight as I am damm sure the 60lbs extra that I am carrying is causing the problem, I carry all my weight on my belly and that is apparently a major cause of "inflamation".
Does anybody have any links to sites where I can gain a better understanding of this phenomenen?
