Re: Blood Pressure standards

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the report on Blood Pressure. Both my numbers have lowered and the

diastolic

is quite fine but the systolic is still too high for me. It is not super high

but too

high even on my wrist monitor. Have you seen any article about the relationship

between

exercise and lowering blood pressure?

Helen, I saw the quote in a recent newsletter from HSI (Health Sciences

Institute), but blood pressure is, at the moment, not something I have to be

concerned with so no olive oil experiments are planned. I see that the word

(significant) popped up in your quote. I suppose " significant " coupled with

" obvious "

would translate to large, but it's disappointing that writers don't quantify

results.

In the same article was another " significant " ambiguity. I quote:

<< High intakes of olive oil, vegetables and fruits were significantly

associated with lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. >>

Despite my " significant " complaint, it's fair to point out that I have

obtained very useful tips from HSI

, and continue to read the newsletter. I might say with grain of salt, but

I'm on a low sodium diet at present <G>

Those of us who are taking bp medications to protect our kidneys may

find we are reaping a host of other benefits.

There is also more than one way to lower bp according to HSI

A blood fluidity study conducted in

Germany showed how a consumption of olive oil and chopped

onions lead to a significant decrease in blood pressure. And the

effects were obvious within just one week.

, have you seen this?

, Does it cost anything to get the HSI paper or magazine?

Thanks,

Lou
