Does Paleo Diet Cause Elevated Blood Pressure Levels?
I just took my blood pressure and it was really bad 131 over 81. I m a 52 year old woman. I work out 4x a week. I ve been on a paleo diet off 4 days on and average 3 days off every week. Could the diet be causing the high blood pressure? I don t have bacon, if that s what you re thinking. Mostly an egg with cheese for breakfast, salad with chicken at lunch and meat, 2 veggies and salad for dinner with a glass of wine...help!
