I have a lot of questions about blood pressure, and by now, i have helped at least 100 individuals get off blood pressure medication that they seemed to spend a lifetime on. I am not a magician, intead i apply tried and tested ways to change a situation for people that can sometimes seem desperate!
A lot of people ask too what does blood pressure mean? And what ranges should they be in to be considered healthy?
A brief description would be that when doctors take your blood pressure, they are checking how hard the blood pushed against the arteries and veins as it moves around your body.
It is measured in mm of mercury and is always written as two numbers.
The top number, the systolic reading, measures the pressure of the blood when your heart pumps it out and the bottom number, the diastolic number, measures the pressure when your heart relaxes and refills.
Accoring to a million medical journals and accepted to be fact by 100% of the medical community, high blood pressure is diagnosed when readings are persistently above 140/90.
This means you are significantly increasing the risk of having a stroke or heart attack, and can lead to kidney disease, so its always a great idea to have your blood pressure checked at least once a year. You can also buy home machines cheaply in supermarkets these days.
One of the key reasons your blood pressure will be over the top is salt, this is the single most destructive reason why people get high blood pressure and this is why diet is so important. Salt really is the hidden evil in foods. People always go on about fats and sugars, but salt is equally as bad if not more so, and is more or less in every food, especially pre packaged food such as ready meals and all processed food, this literally is a disaster waiting to happen so try and get it out out of your life as soon as possible, and im VERY SERIOUS!!!!!
Other contributory factors are alcohol and a lack of exercise but we will touch on these important points again!!
Diet is so important, fail to pay attention and you’re on a one way track to ill health, change it now if you want to be at your best health levels!!!
Hi Ke, that was very enlightening, I did not know high BP can lead to kidney disease. As I told you yest, mine BP came down this month, alot better than what it was, and I am certain that the fact that I am back in the Gym is a contributing factor. Hoping for the same result with my cholestorol, will ring 2mo for the results. I am really enjoying it back in the Gym, I now have some structure to my day, week, life, I can honestly say that my peak flow has improved, my breathing has improved, not panting so much, and I generally feel so much better in such a short space of time. Thank you for inviting me back, best decision I have made this year. C u 2mo.
