...continued to eat bad, processed food all the time (which is full of sodium), despite having high blood pressure?

I'm concerned because heart problems and hypertension run in my family and this family member, my MOM, has high blood pressure. I'm not sure if she doesn't understand or just doesn't care that this stuff is majority of the reason she has high blood pressure...

I tried to cook three meals a day for my former alcoholic diabetic father in law who was dying of cirrhosis of the liver. He complained bitterly, told me the special diabetic foods I was fixing for him tasted like sh!t, and ended up moving out after four weeks living with us. He got to go home and drink himself to death, which is what he wanted.

You have to realize in a very hard way sometimes that you are not in charge of anyone elses body unless its your own or your own childs.

@4meAndyou I know I'm not in charge. I'm just wanting to help. Some people don't realize that food can help and heal and can also ruin health. That's all. I'm only in charge of me, I'm well aware.😐

@iamnikki Do what you need to do but be aware that some people don't really want to be helped.
