Just like the don't eat eggs bull$hit, the numbers have been adjusted up by the CDC. What's next? 3 Vodkas a day to stay healthy? I hope so.

What really is important is resting number should be no higher than 80, FDA is full of crap saying 90 is ok.

I used to have high BP. I have been on those BP meds for 30 years and on cholesterol meds as well. I was also boarder line diabetic.
In July 2012 I had a workplace fall resulting in the end of my career and a spinal fusion surgery with rods and screws in Feb 2013.
I am 55 and 5ft 7in. I weighed 212lbs at surgery. My surgeon said lose weight to help my back after surgery and of course my regular doc has been saying that for years.
So Oct 1st last year I went on a diet and started walking 2.5 miles a day. I changed my diet to whole foods. No canned or frozen except frozen veggies. I learned to like salad and veggies. Started eating a lot of fish and lean chicken and less beef and pork.
As of today I have been off all the meds for 3 months. BP 115/68 on average. Cholesterol good blood sugar good.
I now weigh 163lbs!! lost 5 inches on my mid section and lots more all over!
So while I like the new guideline I say high BP is a killer and if anyone here is in any way like I was then I tell you, you can lose the weight and get off the meds and be around longer to enjoy your Mopar and your family. If I can do it anyone can do it!
My car is faster too!

:iamwithstupid: Awe yes, good ol' Pussy Galore & 007, the scene at the end; before boarding a plane Felix says "I told them alcohol for 3", 007 says "who are the other 2 ??" Felix says "just you James"...

Here it comes...LOL... you know why the standards have changed, so they don't have to cover all the High Blood Pressure condition & effects under the Obamacare un-Affordable Care Act/TAX, cut every corner they can, where ever they can... sorry I can't resist, I wouldn't doubt that it is part of the issues/reasoning changing the std.'s thou... It's Total BS

Thank you sir. I think you may be correct.
I am ashamed that it took my back injury and major surgery for me to wake up and smell the Mopar!
However, better late then never!
