Hypertension And Potassium

My blood pressure is staying above 140 mmHg systolic and 85 mmHg diastolic for two weeks now. I've lost 20 lbs since I started dieting but I've fallen off the strict keto protocol a few times too. I decided to check my blood sugar level. It is 193 mg/dL. The normal is 80 - 110 mg/dL. The reason I'm feeling uniquely unsettled is because my insulin is high, my blood sugar is high.

I have to get back into Keto. Today my first meal is cream soup with ground meat. My second meal is a cheese sandwich. I know not exactly keto recommended. I ran out of vegetables. I just went out for an errand down to our nearby talipapa ( neighborhood fresh produce market). I bought cauliflower, tomatoes, bell peppers and green peas. I remember I still have some left over stuff in the chiller section.

Insulin level is linked to high blood pressure. High insulin decreases potassium. Low potassium can cause high blood pressure. I have to increase my potassium intake. I should try and get it from vegetables. Potato is out of the question because it has high starch content. The recommended potassium daily intake is 4,700 mg or higher. This used to be 3,500 mg by the way.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

New ZFS Pool And the New 4TB Hard Drive

I am using the new pool for my videos and music. Downloading them using my torrent client, transmission. The old pool is raidz2 and now I am using a raidz1 only. But and a big but I gained space of up to 4.5 TB.

2024 So Far

I have a feeling of moving earth or walking off my itchiness. The growing fat in my belly tells me I am failing on many occasions to give in to this urge. My eyes are blurred by morning glory. I remember my father having the same ritual in the morning. After his weak stroke, he couldn't speak much, just a grunt but he would demonstrate with hand how he liked to wash his face. The weather wasn't helping. It's been raining cats and dogs the past week. The province of Rizal was soaked and spilled volumes of water into the bay and Laguna lake. Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place. The road widening project in San Mateo was in the middle stage. One side of the road ...
