My 14-year Weight Management Records from 2007-05-28 to 2021-05-28 (by Calorie Restriction, i.e. Dietary Energy Restriction):

Note: According to the Singapore Health Promotion Board, a Healthy BMI would fall between 18.5 to 22.9. A lower index would mean that the individual is at risk of nutrition deficiency diseases and osteoporosis. An index that is higher would mean that the individual is at risk of obesity-related diseases. (Ref: DD-P2016E02)


Total number of Monthly Weight monitored was 168 (100%)

The no. of times my BMI between 18.5 and 22.9 was 163 (97.02%)

The no. of times my BMI equal or more than 23.000 was 5 (2.98%)

7 Prehypertension Prevention Tips

7 Prehypertension Prevention Tips

Prehypertension can be prevented from becoming high blood pressure (hypertension) with food and lifestyle tips. Doctors from SingHealth Polyclinics (SHP) share more.

Prehypertension can develop into high blood pressure (hypertension) if you do not take steps to take charge of it.

"The good news is prehypertension (pre-high blood pressure) can be prevented or reversed by making healthier choices daily," shares doctors from SingHealth Polyclinics, a member of the SingHealth group.

Here are tips on what to eat and do to prevent or reverse prehypertension.

Prehypertension (pre-high blood pressure): 7 Tips to prevent or reverse it

1. Cut down on salt (sodium)

High salt consumption is linked to high blood pressure. When eating out, ask for no or less gravy. Say no to canned foods, salty soups, instant noodles, potato chips and french fries. Eat less condiments such as chili sauce, soya sauce, mayonnaise and oyster sauce.

2. Keep a healthy weight

Prehypertension is linked to being overweight and obese. Asians should aim for a healthy BMI (body mass index) of 18.5 to 22.9.

3. Exercise regularly

To prevent prehypertension or reverse it, exercise at least 30 minutes, 5 days a week, or 150 minutes a week. However, any increase in physical activity is better than nothing. If you’re just starting to exercise, consider climbing a few flights of stairs instead of taking the lift. Walk to a lunch venue that’s further away. On your way home from work, alight one bus stop away from your usual stop.

4. Eat more fruit and vegetables as part of a healthy diet

Fruits and vegetables are rich in fibre and nutrients, helping your kidneys get rid of excess sodium. This in turn helps lower your blood pressure. The Health Promotion Board of Singapore recommends a minimum of 2 + 2 servings of fruit and vegetables (see our healthy eating article for details). Eat more whole grains, legumes, unsalted seeds and nuts.

5. Cut down on saturated fats

Choose heart-friendly foods such as lean cuts of meat and low-fat dairy products. Avoid eating processed foods which are high in saturated fats such as bacon, ham and hotdogs. These foods increase your LDL and risk of high cholesterol, worsening your prehypertension.

6. Lower your alcohol intake

Alcohol can increase your blood pressure. Men should have a maximum of two drinks per day. Women should not have more than one alcoholic beverage per day. One standard drink is roughly the amount of alcohol contained in one can of beer.

7. Quit smoking (if you haven't)

Nicotine makes the heart work harder and over time, can increase blood pressure, raising the risk of heart disease and stroke. Smoking also contributes to several types of cancer including lung, oral and nose and throat cancer. Need help quitting? Check out this article on effective tips to quit smoking and where to get help.

High blood pressure: 5 Ways to lower it without medicine

 https://www.healthxchange.sg/high-blood-pressure/prevention/high-blood-pressure-lower-without-medicine

High blood pressure: 5 Ways to lower it without medicine

Here are five things you can do to reduce your blood pressure.

1. Stick to a healthy diet

  • Avoid foods high in cholesterol and saturated fats such as:
    • Animal fats
    • Eggs (Health Promotion Board recommends consuming no more than 4 egg yolks per week)
    • Red meat (e.g. beef and lamb)
    • Coconut milk
    • Palm oil
  • Instead, choose:
    • Lean meats
    • Fish
    • Low-fat dairy products
  • Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables
  • Cut back on salty foods

2. Exercise regularly

​​Exercise at least five times a week to lower your high blood pressure. Brisk walking is one of the best and simplest forms of exercise.

3. Watch your weight

It has been proven that ma​intaining a healthy body weight reduces the risk of high blood pressure.​

4. Quit smoking

If you smoke, quit! Not only can smoking raise your blood pressure, it’s also a risk factor for coronary artery disease and stroke.​​

5. Take it easy

A healthy blood pressure can be achieved through good stress management. To manage stress:

  • Exercise regularly
  • Adopt a balanced approach to work and family life

In addition, relax whenever possible to ease the tension, since stress may aggravate your blood pressure.
