Blood Pressure
The pressure that our heart generates in our cardiovascular system as it pumps blood is a good indicator of the health of the system itself. Hypertension, that is elevated blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Blood pressure can be easily measured at home or by our physicians, e.g. when we are in for our quarterly blood draw. If we want to have frequent measurements and easy tracking we use the WiThings Blood-Pressure Monitor, that connects wirelessly to our smartphone.
Optimum Blood Pressure: 115 / 75
Hypertension is not caused by too much salt, as often reported. Too much salt usually goes hand in hand with a bad diet that is the true culprit here. On a balanced diet, there is absolutely no need to control salt intake.
Additionally, hypertension is usually a result of too little exercise, bad detox, and low mental well-being. By implementing the foundation building blocks of nutrition, exercise, detox and mental well-being we can usually revert our blood pressure to optimum ranges.
