What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the force applied against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood through the body.


Know Your Blood Pressure Number
The first number, systolic blood pressure measures the maximum pressure exerted as the heart contracts. A measurement over 90 and under 140 is generally considered normal for an adult.
The lower number indicates diastolic pressure is a measurement taken between beats, when the heart is at rest. A measurement over 60 and under 90 is generally considered normal for an adult.

High Blood Pressure is a Global Epidemic. Over 1.5 billion people world-wide suffer from high blood pressure (or hypertension).

  2. I am diagnosed with high blood pressure. I had it in my early 40s, took medications and was ok until I passed a kidney stone. Miraculously the high BP went away. Doctor says it is not related. I say otherwise. Then last year at age 62 I was diagnosed again. I tried two different medicine, not really working. One day I read a comment of someone on internet who was cured from high blood pressure. He used herbal medicine, I contacted Dr. Fabien and I explain to him. I order the herbal medication I used it for 1 month, my blood pressure was normal I started eating food I was not able to eat before. My health is doing great, Vitamins/good diets.
