My blood pressure is low, but that's genetics, no thanks to me!!
I feel that I eat too much chicken, although I try for free-range chicken that hasn't been injected with a lot of junk.
Same for eggs.
I eat a lot of dairy -- I believe women need lots of calcium.

I grew up on the Atlantic Ocean and I really enjoy shellfish.
However, like John W, I dislike fish. If I eat fishy fish, the taste has to be disguised.
Salmon on a cedar plank, sole with a sauce, etc.
I try hard to limit carbs in my daily diet, they make me sluggish.
I drink a lot of smoothies, almond/coconut milk with vegan protein powder and ground flaxseed.
We go out to eat a lot, and I usually order a salad with shrimp or chicken.
Oh, and I like wine!

I think we all need to find what works for us and makes us healthy and go with it.
There is no one right answer!

Bare - I'm a little surprised you don't like fish since you grew up near the Atlantic. I like most fish: tuna, haddock, salmon, cod, swordfish, etc. I'm guessing you had a bad experience with fish at some point. Fresh fish will never smell fishy - that's a sign that you should not eat it. Interestingly, I only eat fish from the ocean - no fresh water varieties, except for aqua farmed catfish (must be the 8 years I spent in Mississippi). Wine goes so well with fish.
