Lifestyle change(s) you swear by!! Need help and feedback.

CAUTION

I am 5’1”, and around 115 pounds (was 120 about one monthish ago). My BP has been mostly in 130/90s…. A few 140s…. And I have been doing everything under the sun!

I’ve added: Beetroot capsules, hibiscus tea, adding salads/greens, fruits, fiber, magnesium supplements, fish oil, deep breathing/meditation, 18:6 intermittent fasting fasting, stretching.

Prior to my BP journey, I have already been lifting weights three times a week and run around 20-25 miles a week. I have one interval run (will be adding one more) weekly. After my BP journey started I have been TRYING to add in a post lunch walk daily (1 to 2 miles).

For a short amount of time (few days), I got beautiful readings! Then it went downhill after Thanksgiving weekend. Despite recovering from the holiday eating (going back into the healthy routine), I can’t seem to get my “good readings”. Because I have seemed to have gone gung ho so quickly, it’s hard to pinpoint what has/had helped me get those beautiful readings. Wanting to hear others’ input- what is a lifestyle habit that you swear has worked for you??
