as hard to pump blood.

minutes on most days of the week. Try increasing speed or distance so you keep
challenging your ticker.

history of hypertension. This has been recently found to be due to family
sensitivity to salt.

your diet comes from. Try seasoned foods with spices, herbs, lemon, and
salt-free seasoning blends.
