Link between elevated B/P and dementia

My blood pressure taken today is 126/68 and resting pulse rate is 69. I am happy with my BP and cannot ask for a better reading especially at my age.
According to the most recent study, a reading of 130 or more at age 50 (systolic or the above reading which is 126 in my case) may lead to dementia at around age 75.

2 hours later after a 2 km walk and 30 mins rest I took my BP (below)

BP gauge

I bought this blood pressure gauge from SG and thought the price was reasonable (S$80) until I saw it was selling for about $50 in Japan.  I have been fleeced!

I have been eating a lot in Japan and started to gain about 2 kilogram in weight. However, I am comforted by the fact that my blood pressure is still normal. I am quite bless in terms of health. I give God the glory!

Guardian Pharmacy sells the above blood pressure guage about $17 less ($79) than Unity which usually gives senior citizen some discounts. I was almost conned into buying it from Unity had I not checked the price with Guardian which has a store in the same shopping mall.

Papaya, fish soup,pies and the Lord's blessings

Our breakfast was 1/4 of a papaya. As for lunch, we proceeded to Ang Mo Kio Ave 10 for our favorite fish soup. The Q was long and it took us 20 minutes before we got our food. We brought from home slices of bitter gourd and cherry tomatoes and added them to the fish soup. It was a very good meal and we were satisfied even though we had to wait for 20 minutes.
A bowl of fish soup (although it's known as fish soup, the dish contains generous slices of mackeral fish plus tofu, bitter gourd, tomatoes etc) and rice cost us $4.50.
In the late afternoon, we had our coffee, chicken pie ($1.80) and a slice of pizza ($1.30) at a nearby coffee shop (picture below). With all the above, we decided to skip dinner.

Perhaps due to my good genes and reasonably healthy eating habits, my BMI is in the healthy range (24.6). My BP is also good or should I say normal, despite of my age. Well, besides good genes and healthy eating habits, I think I am fine because God has been gracious and kind to me.

My systolic reading is 123 and diastolic is 74. My resting pulse rate is 64. All these blessings come from the Lord Jesus and no one else.
