By age 60, about six in ten Americans have blood pressure high enough to treat with drugs. Millions more have blood pressure high enough to raise the risk of heart attack or stroke. High blood pressure can damage the blood vessels of the heart, the brain, the eyes, and the kidneys. It killed 33,000 people in 1990; this does not include those who died due to a stroke or heart attack caused by high blood pressure. What's your blood pressure? Above 140/90 High 130/85 to 139/89 High normal 120/80 to 129/84 Normal Below 120/80 Optimum Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood against the walls of the arteries. It is read with two numbers, systolic and diastolic, which are often just referred to as "top and bottom." The top number, systolic, measures blood pressure when the heart is pumping out blood. The bottom number, diastolic, measures blood pressure between heartbeats, that is, when the heart is not pumping but is at rest. The usual cause of high blood pressure is a persistent increase in resistance to blood flow through the smaller branches of the arteries, which carry blood from the heart throughout the body. Why this happens is unknown 95% of the time. Research Volunteers Reduce Blood Pressure The 30 research volunteers who took AIM Herbal Fiberblend, AIM Proancynol 2000, and AIM CellSparc 360, experienced significant reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The results are based on group average measures of these factors before the volunteers started to use the products and after they had used the products for 90 days. As there was no change in the amount volunteers exercised, the results indicate that the use of these three products together lead to reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The volunteers did not experience significant weight loss or body fat loss.
