High blood pressure runs in my family - how do I avoid?

Glad that you are aware of the' heart ' of the problem, that runs in the family ! The normal BP of 120/80 is accepted by many. You should ask the doctor more about the 50, rather than worrying about 130- this is variable, as per your exertions- the heart has to pump more blood, so the pumping pressure can [has to]go up.If your family doctor has all the records of your gr pa, & dad, pl. check for their lower values, which may give some clues, esp for a cardiologist to analyze .He will give more advice, exercise,diet, if needed. Take plenty of water, a cup of lemon juice/day, with a pinch of salt. Being athletic, doing regular exercise is good, in your case periodic BP & heart monitoring, plus tests of ecg, dynamic ecg, are also advisable. But never panic- that can do more damages than what we think !

Regular exercise, 3 times a week, eat healthy and be at a normal weight for your height. That's all you can do.

The medical profession, with their "drink plenty of fluids" campaign, has implied that water is just as good as other beverages. This is dangerously untrue. Just because other beverages contain water doesn't mean that your body is getting the benefits - it isn't. People think that the kidneys are some kind of elaborate filtration system. They aren't - the only thing the kidneys filter is the blood. This is because the blood is in an enclosed system - we don't drink fresh blood every day to replenish it. We DO, however, drink fresh water every day (at least that's the plan), and so a filtration system for water is not necessary. Water contained in other beverages is "engaged" water (already in use) and cannot be used by the body. Any nutrients the water contains are assimilated, but the rest is disposed of. So why isn't the water assimilated? Because water is the transport device for everything. If the body could use the water that the unneeded components were in, how would these components get transported to the kidneys for disposal? It would take water. The fresh water that goes into the body is used by the cells. By the time it comes back out of the cells, it too, is full of toxic waste - it's already engaged. So now you have engaged water going into the body, and the body is making engaged water as it uses its resources. You have engaged water going out but no fresh water going in. How do you properly hydrate the body? Plain and simple, you need to drink fresh water, not soft drinks, and not coffee and not energy drinks or Kool-Aid or whatever else you prefer the taste of over water. The medical profession is giving out the wrong advice. They're leading you down a path of self destruction - and why shouldn't they? After all, who better to take care of you than the one who caused it? Click the link below and follow the guide you'll find on the page. Doing this will avoid high blood pressure. It will also fix any high blood pressure in your family (unfortunately, it's too late to help your grandpa).

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.
