Why Your Blood Pressure is Important
You have 66,000 miles of blood vessels of various sizes in your body.
Your arteries carry oxygenated blood from your heart to the tips of your fingers and toes.
Your veins carry waste products from the tips of your fingers and toes back to the lungs and heart.
Blood pressure is what keeps this system working at its best.
When you have a blood pressure reading of 120/80, for example, systolic pressure is the first number in the reading.
It is the greatest arterial pressure generated when the left ventricle of the heart contracts.
According to recent studies, the systolic pressure is the most influential and important factor in predicting longevity in patients with heart failure.
Patients with heart failure that have systolic pressure higher than 120 have greater longevity than patients with a reading lower than 120.
Scientists postulate that people with lower systolic numbers may have weaker heart pumping capabilities and a more advanced stage of disease, resulting in a mortality rate four times higher than those whose numbers were over 161.
People with the higher numbers have stronger hearts that can work harder to move blood volume.
In some studies it was found that people with blood pressure issues have more metabolic and dietary acids in their system and by drinking more water and alkalizing their bodies, their blood becomes less sticky and flows more easily through the miles of blood vessels.
Scientists have known for years that blood pressure will naturally lower with proper diet and exercise.
A vitamin and mineral rich diet of fruits and vegetables along with good dietary sources of omega-3 fats from cold water oily fish, improves heart and circulatory health.
A predominately alkaline diet with 80 percent alkaline forming foods and 20 percent acidic forming foods is the ideal diet to keep the overall body healthy.
The medical misconception that having lower blood pressure is healthy is inaccurate according to the study published in JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association.
In people with any kind of coronary heart disease, lower blood pressure can be deadly.
By correcting dietary deficiencies and eliminating unhealthy food choices, heart health can dramatically improve.
Add a walk around the block to the mix and over time, heart efficiency can improve, bringing blood pressure back into normal ranges.
Since blood circulation is critical to health, by gradually making changes to your lifestyle you will feel more energy, renewed vigor and life won't seem to be as much of an effort.
Put your heart into making your life better.
Believe me, you'll enjoy life that much more.
