What can you still eat when having high blood pressure?

My mom has high blood pressure 173/80 <--- (NOT SURE if it was 80) but now she's scared to eat anything.

I feel bad now when I eat good food in front of her because I know she wants to eat it too. Like she cooks me steak and stuff for myself while she just eats vegetables and I feel bad for her. Now she's losing ALOT of weight from not eating anything.

Yes she's taking medication for her high blood pressure.
Can't she still eat meat? Just not over-do it. Any suggestions?

I cant stand it, that i put it up...:( It makes me so sad...is there anything I can do... what type of hairtype do I have? I have split ends, its oily, has everything...dried, falls out.

Help drug interactions; can't find an informative site for these drugs.?

i have a friend who is planing to add these diet supplements to his daily intake.
>FOLIC ACID
>SELENIUM

however he's worried they might interact with his medications,
here are the med's he takes daily.
-TENORMIN.
-AMARYL.
-ASPIRIN.
-GAVISCON.<-occasionally,

as you might have guessed from the list, he has high blood pressure and diabetes.
he also has a mild cholesterol problem which he has under control thru his diet.
also if it helps he's 53 and has only an above average BMI,

I've been looking online for a while now, but so far i can't find a site that fully tells you about their interactions not just with other drugs but with vitamins and other diet supplements as well

i appreciate any sites or information i can get on the matter,
as for Mechelle here,
GOOD GOD girl give it a rest already!
how many thumbs down can you take in one day,=?
also i was wondering if GAVISCON is okay to take for a type2 diabetic,
as for mechelle i have this to say,
GOOD GOD girl give it a rest already!
how many thumbs down can you take in one day,=?

TRAGUS PEIRCING!! Help!!!?

okay so i got my tragus peirced like roughly 8 months ago.. for the first month or so it was fine then a bump started forming on the front and back and they still have not gone away. i was putting salt water on it like 3 times a day.. some vitamin E oil.. and sometimes it would be smaller.. sometimes bigger.. but never went away. i went to my peircer and she said i am not a chemist and i dont know the perfect proportion of salt to water so i need to use H2Ocean 3 times a day and clean it with provon soap everyday. she told me it was hypertrophic scarring or whatever. ive been using the h2ocean everyday and it does nothing.. but i havent gotten around to buying the provon yet.. it just feels like nothing i do will make it go away!! i want something that will actually work! oh yeah and she said not to put hydrogen peroxide or neosporin

How Can I Help My Hair Grow?

So, i'm mixed and my hair is very curly and coarse. I cut it last year and it's grown about two-three inches since.I do flat iron it once a day, unless i know i'm not going out anywhere then I don't even bother. I also use thermal protector spray when I flat iron so I don't damage it with the heat. I've heard Vitamin E helps but to what extent? I don't have the money to buy every other supplement and such under the sun so, can anyone recommend anything?

thanks

Why won't my nails grow past the top of my nail!? Its piss*ng me off! Help!?!?

So my nails NEVER grow past the top of my nail. The longest they have EVER been was when I was sick about 7 weeks ago and the white bit was about _ < That long maybe.
But then I bit them because I was going through a really bad time.
But here's the thing. My nails are soo weak! They are so thin and I hate them! I want long, strong and beautiful nails like ALL of my friends do!
By the way, my dads nails are SOOOOO strong! They are long too LOL and he ruins our nail files. HAHA! My mums are strong and grow really long to. And my brothers... Well he has bitten them ALL his life so they are really crappy /=
All my life I have wanted long and beautiful nails. I try vitamin nail polish stuff. I try hand cream. Nothing works. And I can't go out and buy anything expensive. And I don't even think Sally Hansen long grow (or whatever it is) would work.
My mum was always so proud of me when I was little because I didn't bite my nails like all the other girls.
And now, I get so stressed sometimes that I bite them. If my nails were long, strong and beautiful, I would NEVER bite them... NEVER. *Huge dramatic pause*
I'm a vegetarian too and I don't think they would be stronger if I wasn't (I'm the only vegetarian in my family. I'm so proud =)
Soooo, what do you think I should do?
Should I give myself manicures every week? *Laughs sarcastically* If that will work.
*Sigh*
Obviously, if you can tell, I'm still young. And I'm so jealous of all of you who have beautiful nails!
Please help me.
xox
Clo- Sorry, but I said I was a vegetarian and I didn't want to spend loads of money.
When I say a lot of money I mean like 30-40 bucks haha.
Lloyd don't be such a jerk.
