Blood Pressure Rules Just Got Stricter

The American Heart Association just dropped new blood pressure guidelines, and the bar for high BP is now lower—130/80 is the new stage one. The wildest part? They want us to cut back on booze big time (like, none at all if you can), and keep it to one drink a day for women, two for men. Plus, daily exercise is a must (no Everest climbs needed, just 30 mins a day). Time to dust off that home BP monitor! #Health #BodyHealth #BloodPressure

Stick with what was normal 50 years ago…..140/90 was just fine until the docs got greedy. Or 110 plus your age was always acceptable too.

Many lab values have been arbitrarily reduced and tightened over the years. Nothing more than collusion by Dr’s and pharmaceuticals to sell more drug poisons
