An apple a day keeps the doctor away

It all started some time in March when I went for my scheduled final dose of Hep B vaccination. My doctor told me to watch my blood pressure for it was marginally high over my last three visits to see him.

I decided I needed more fruits in my diet and launched into a habit of taking an apple a day. Sometimes the apples that my wife bought from the market were huge, equivalent to two regular Washington apples. I took each one, all in a day nevertheless.

After seven weeks, it looks like this regimen has paid off well. My b.p. has dropped from a high 130+/80+ in early March, to 135/82 on 16Apr20, finally down to 120/73 today 03May20. With two consistent readings. Yay!
