you must understand this
Brother it is hereditary.
Blood pressure issues and cholesterol issues are mostly hereditary, with only a small portion of it lifestyle-related. There is a small percentage of people who can control high BP or cholesterol with lifestyle changes, but most require meds.
Brother, I present to you a good example of this, in Master Scalir. He and I have similar diets, are a similar height and weight, and are a similar age. He has very good blood pressure but moderately high cholesterol. I have very good cholesterol numbers but moderately high blood pressure. The difference is in genetics.
Brother in the 1980s there was a big panic about cholesterol, and many people cut out fatty foods from their diet in fear of their cholesterol becoming elevated. Years later it was learned that diet only has a small impact on cholesterol levels for most people, but most still engage in this incorrect old school thinking.
Brother there are good reasons to stay away from a high fat diet (such as weight concerns), but cholesterol isn't one of them. Same thing with blood pressure and salty foods. Even if I cut out all salt and stress from my life, I would still have high blood pressure.
Brother, human beings are naturally wired to expect good results from good behavior, and bad results from bad behavior. It makes people feel uncomfortable to learn that certain things are completely out of their control. Brother, people who know of my high fat diet get very upset when they hear that my total cholesterol is 141, while theirs is over 200 and they watch everything they eat.
