Re: low blood pressure

hi MH and all,
HAY

I have always had low blood pressure and while there are a lot ot talks everywhere about high blood pressure, I have never heard or read about LOW.

any suggestion ?

Definition:
The pressure exerted by blood upon the walls of the arteries, depending upon the force of the heart beat, the elasticity of the vessel walls, the resistance of the capillary network and the volume and viscosity of the blood. In Back to Eden, p. 448, we find the following: "Blood pressure shows the contractile powers of the heart and resistance of the blood vessels. The blood pressure increases every two years about one degree. The normal blood pressure is approximately 125 and at sixty it is 140. Persons who are weak physically have a slightly lower pressure. Those who exercise have higher blood pressure" The old accepted routine of taking the blood pressure count has been 100 systolic plus the age, wherein a person of thirty years, it was felt, should have a normal blood pressure of 130, and a person of forty a blood pressure of 140, etc. But this is very erroneous, because at any age heavy meat eaters will have a higher blood pressure than vegetarians. There is actually no hard and fast rule on blood pressure.


Symptoms:
Excessive pressure is exerted on the valves and the pumping muscles of the heart. A pressure is also exerted on the functioning lifelines in the body--the arteries, the capillaries, etc. This condition is characterized by a red or flushed complexion, excess weight, discomfort, and sometimes skin pallor. High blood pressure is the result of improper living habits, which cause a rundown condition in the body.

Cause:
High Blood Pressure: There is a thickening of the blood from catarrhal and excess glutinous and fibrinous matters loading the circulatory system. Generally there is a clogging of the bowel with putrid body waste, making it necessary to cleanse the excretory systems in order to purify the blood.


Low blood and high blood pressure are both due to malfunction of the circulatory system. High blood pressure in many cases works just like low blood pressure. Cholesterol must be eliminated from the system in order to get the blood flowing more freely. The condition is brought about by improper diet, insufficient rest and exercise and a lack of vitality within the system.

NOW WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST LIFETIME LOW BLOOD PRESSURE TO BE?
