Great Health Report for Dan

Dan had a followup visit with his doctor yesterday related to his blood pressure, and the doctor was very pleased. Dan is on a relatively low dose of blood pressure medicine and he has reduced his salt intake and is fairly careful about avoiding caffeine. Additionally, he exercises 3 or more times per week and has lost 25 pounds in the past 15 months. All this has combined to keep his blood pressure under control, and we are very thankful. The most difficult thing was giving up salt, because he has been a salt addict for over 50 years. However, his taste buds have made the adjustment, and he now even eats grits with no salt. Can you imagine! :)
