Good news/human measuring cup.
I got good news today. My high blood pressure is still going down. So the doctor cut my medicine in 1/2. Over the last 2 years my medicine has been greatly reduced and my bp keeps coming in good. I owe it to better eating and exercise. I was never an over-weight person so they determined that my hbp was hereditary and I would be a captive to taking pills every day. But now we are looking to eventually take me off of all medicine later this year and see how I do.
Here is an interesting thing I just read in an email from Mens Health.
Palm: One palm (not counting fingers!) is the equivalent of about 3 ounces of meat, fish, or poultry.
Fist: A 1-cup serving measures about the size of your fist. This will help you gauge the right portions of rice, pasta, and fruit.
Thumb: Your thumb is the equivalent of about 1 ounce.
