Myth Exposed

Just 2 days ago, I was raving on and on about potassium and how it can help reduce my high blood pressure (HBP) but this bit of information I obtained from the internet turned out to be a 1/100 truth. Let me explain.

-------

I went to my cardiologist appointment today to see what can be done about my HBP. A bunch of blood tests were ordered along with an Echocardiogram (ECG). Results will be interpreted at a later date.

-------

During the consultation, I asked the specialist about the benefits of potassium. Specifically, I asked if it would help reduce my HBP.

She bluntly said 'No' then elaborated that it might help, just like some say celery will help, but it's overall effects can be loosely estimated to be about 1%, or less. The main thing I have to focus on is WEIGHT and SALT intake.

-------

So there you have it. This myth is busted. I'm hopeful, I will kick my HBP in the ass! This faith declaration deserves a Batman Sound-effect Salute.

*Whaam! ZaAAAaaP! KaPOW!*
