    Default Not only is it fun, but it is good for your health

    I go to the doctor several times a year, and my Systolic blood pressure is always borderline high. 2 of the last 3 times I have been to see the doctor I have been on the spyder. Both of my "spyder visits" have produced textbook Systolic numbers. Hopefully this means that I will have more time to ride, as I will be living longer.

    Just sayin'.............
    Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
    The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally

    Just sayin'............

    I found this all out about a dozen years' ago...
    My first real episode with a diabetic ulceration on my left foot; I was going to the Wound Clinic a couple of times each week for them to cut away the dead tissue. Of course; they'd always take my blood pressure... We quickly discovered that if I drove my truck, it'd be 140/90. BUT. If I rode my bike; 90/60!
    I did some testing; I thought about riding my bike, but that had no effect.
    Then I tried thinking about how I felt when I rode... BINGO! 90/60 each and ever time!

    It's a proven fact that thinking of something pleasurable will lower blood pressure. Also keeping you feet flat on the floor, not crossing your ankles will help too.

    I found that I needed to think about how it made me feel; not just about riding...
    But it DOES work!!

    I have the same problem and it will not go away. So I decided to avoid fatty foods and more of fruits and vegetables, coffee and sugar also on my lists. I am doing very well so far.

    Do you think it may have something to do with having a job now and not being under as much stress, looking for one?

    Default Not a cure all but the second best

    it has to rank pretty darn high I think. But it has to be between 60/79 degrees to work for me.
