OOC Let's Chat!

Yeah, I'm now 40 ; ; I feel so old now. I don't have high cholesterol but it's slightly elevated they said. I do have high BP though but that may be from my anxiety/panic and covid symptoms (long-term).

The good thing is since I started eating healthy it's been going down bit by bit. So I just have to continue and I should be good. It's just hard to consistently stick gah. But I will be doing it!

[quote]I just turned 26 on the first. Kim, I think your the oldest here

Well atleast you got it after a age, I am 18 and already with BP due to some tension and health problems and on the verge of diabetes; It makes me feel old too sometimes lol,

Healthy food does help but in my case I just cant control my love for Korean and Japanese cuisine like Tracey

[quote]Y'know, I think it'll be fine if you make it from home like how I do. But then again, my health is fine same with bf's.

Hii
How is everyone???

gnight yall

Good night!!

If you make korean and japanese food from home you should be fine since you can adjust what goes into the food. If you need to use oil, instead of vegetable or corn (which are the absolute worst for your health) make it with olive oil instead as olive oil is the healthiest. Sometimes you can use canola but that oil is neither good or bad, unless it is one or the other for you as everyone is different. You can also make use of air fryers which use no oil and are healthy! You just want to make sure to read the ingredients for everything you use to see how much sodium is used per serving and what a serving is etc... you can check the same for sugar. The best types of desserts are those that use honey as the sugar instead of sugar or fake sugars. Fruit is also a good alternatives for normal sweets as they are naturally sweet. For soy sauce use the low sodium ones and don't use that much at all. A serving is usually like 1-2 tsp or tbsp I can't remember which one. But it's like 790-990 or something per serving of sodium which is nuts. With high BP you can only have up to 1500 per day.

Well I guess I must try following those instructions since haven't eaten Korean and Japanese food since I moved back into my parent's house, Overprotective parent

What sucks is surely about just 1500 per day, I am honestly a sucker for sodium food, which makes me loath BP more than anything

Yeah I hear you. I didn't know how much sodium was in all the stuff I loved....
