I’m relieved to know that! I’m losing weight and exercising every day, along with taking Losartan.

That is just great. The top number on your blood pressure should be 130 or less. You should be on a statin and something like aspirin to thin the blood. If your fasting sugar is over 100, you should be on metformin.

This is very helpful, especially knowing that the Losartan I’m taking is an antioxidant. Thank you again for providing a strong case for diet and exercise together.

Thank you. Providing the lifestyle measures and meds together produces a five-fold reduction in stroke compared with usual care.
