“Theobromine is my blood pressure friend, takes 2 hours to kick in.”
I’m guessing coffee is NOT my blood pressure friend, but I doubt blood pressure BY ITSELF has a lot of meaning. I suspect it is a symptom not a cause, that while very high blood pressure IS a serious issue, what makes it serious is WHY it is high. If it is high because of gunk in your arteries, it is a problem.
Decaf only for me. My BP runs only slightly toward high, 145-90 some days. I have a small dose Benicar 5mg for BP but only need it once or twice a week maybe. I check it everyday and there is no doubt the cocoa n coffee lowers my BP within 2 hours. Not a lot but I believe it helps keeps me off everyday BP meds. The theobromine is what is believed to help. Plus Coca is full of all kinds of good flavonoids and fiber and no sugar.
