How does weight affect blood pressure?
The more you weigh the higher your blood pressure is likely to be.
If you are overweight, then losing 22 pounds (10kg) can help lower your systolic blood pressure by 5 - 10 mm Hg.
If you combine weight loss with other lifestyle changes, like being more active and eating less salt, you should see even larger drops in your blood pressure.

My and Lattes’ Low Bone Mass
On 24 May 2008 (Saturday), I had a bone density test at All Link Medical & Health Products Pte Ltd booth at the Singapore Food Expo 2008 this evening at about 6.00 pm. Results = T-score = -1.9 in the yellow zone meaning Low Bone Mass requiring me to take ALL LINK Prescription “Bone & Joint Restoration (GAG & Collagen II) 2 capsules 2 times daily. I had similar results last year at the same booth of the same exhibition.
So I need to take two tablets of my 600-mg calcium with Vitamin D instead of one from nowon and control my coffee intake. And have the same test next year.
Latte’s result is worse than mine. Her last year result was just above –1 in the green zone, i.e. in the lowest end of the Healthy to borderline Level
According to a lady at the booth, calcium supplement should be taken empty stomach and two hours after taking coffee.
Latte bought two packs (60 tablets +bonus 10 tablets) of “Bone & Joint Restoration (GAG & Collagen II) at $68.00 paid by my Nets Giro. Usual price is $38.00 per pack.

Your Bones and Calcium (Bank on your bones)
The following are the key points in an article entitled “Bank on your bones” by JUNE CHEONG in the Mind Your Body of the Straits Times dated 14 may 2008.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build healthy bone mass before the age of 30 to prevent fractures in old age.
To build and maintain healthy bones, you should exercise regularly, have a diet high in calcium and Vitamin D and avoid alcohol and smoking.
Asked why calcium is so important for bones, Dr Lau said: 'Calcium is the building block. If you take less than 500mg of calcium a day, you'll reduce your bone strength because your bones won't have enough building blocks to work with.'
Dr Lau recommended a daily calcium intake of 800 to 1,000mg.
According to the National Nutrition Survey in 2004, the average daily calcium intake of Singaporeans is 627mg.
Low calcium intake has been linked to lower bone density and high risk of fractures.
Clinical Associate Professor Tan Seang Beng, senior consultant and head of the department of orthopaedic surgery at Singapore General Hospital, added that Vitamin D is essential for the body's absorption of calcium and in drawing it from blood into bone.
The best sources of calcium are dairy products like milk, yogurt and cheese. For those who are lactose intolerant, foods like ikan bilis, tofu and dark green leafy vegetables are viable alternatives. But more of these would have to be eaten as they contain smaller concentrations of calcium.
Dr Tan said excess calcium is passed out in urine and faeces if too much is ingested. 'It doesn't really form stones in kidneys,' he said. 'Stones are often formed due to poor kidney function rather than calcium itself.'
Doctors advise those under 30 to build up their bone mass to achieve a high peak. Indians generally have higher bone mass than Malays and Chinese.
Dr Lau said: 'Then even if you lose bone mass later, you may not get osteoporosis.'Osteoporosis is a disease of the bone in which bone mineral density is reduced, increasing the risk of fractures.
Comparing the maintenance of strong, healthy bones to plumping up one's bank account, Dr Lau said: 'It's like saving money in a bank. If you save very little when you're working, you can't retire on much.'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build healthy bone mass before the age of 30 to prevent fractures in old age.
To build and maintain healthy bones, you should exercise regularly, have a diet high in calcium and Vitamin D and avoid alcohol and smoking.
Asked why calcium is so important for bones, Dr Lau said: 'Calcium is the building block. If you take less than 500mg of calcium a day, you'll reduce your bone strength because your bones won't have enough building blocks to work with.'
Dr Lau recommended a daily calcium intake of 800 to 1,000mg.
According to the National Nutrition Survey in 2004, the average daily calcium intake of Singaporeans is 627mg.
Low calcium intake has been linked to lower bone density and high risk of fractures.

My current BMI and Waist Size and Health Risk
My BMI (this morning) = 19.632 and my waist size = 30.5 inches = 77.47 cm. So both my BMI and waist size are within the healthy range.
According to federal guidelines, a clinical diagnosis of obesity also includes a determination of your waist circumference and risk factors.
If you are within the normal BMI range and your waist measurement is lower than the cutoff, maintain that weight and check your fitness level, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.
In men, a waist circumference greater than 40 in. is considered a health risk. Women who have a waist size larger than 35 in. are considered at risk. In Asian people, health problems are seen with a smaller waist size. In Asian women, a waist size of 32 in. (80 cm) or more raises the chance for disease. In Asian men, a waist size of 36 in. (90 cm) or more raises the chance for disease.2
If your are in the overweight (BMI of 25 to 29.9) or obese (BMI of 30 or above) category and your waist measurement is higher than the cutoff level, talk to your doctor about other risk factors you may have, including type 2 diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and being inactive. If you have two or more risk factors, your doctor will probably advise you to lose weight and to change your eating and physical activity habits to reduce your risk factors for blood vessel disease, such as coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and coronary vascular disease (CVD).

Loneliness!
I made my regular weekly visit to MM today. I can appreciate her loneliness more this time after her spat with Thoo. Being illiterate and very old-aged, everyday, other than one or two telephone conversations with a few old relatives, nobody talks to her. Occasionally she has a chance to watch TV. Most of the time what she can do is sleeping or lying down. I know she is very lonely. Especially she looked frailer than before today. I also advised her not to be too concerned for Ling's well being. I should do more to make her happier in her remaining years!

Excessive Concern for another person can be counterproductive and sour relationship.
Thoo called me last Saturday complaining that MM nagging to her regarding Ling’s unemployment after he stopped studying about 6 months ago. Thoo said she could not take it any more. She asked to tell MM to stop asking her anything about Ling.
Lesson learnt: Excessive Concern for another person can be counterproductive and sour relationship.
