Stop! Do you know your blood pressure readings and what can happen to your life today? Read here and find out the secrets why:

Blood pressure is the measurable force that rushes your blood through the arterial system of your body.

This force has two components:
1.The diastolic component:
Is the constant basic force in the arteries that keeps the blood vessels full and under a constant basic pressure.
It’s the lowest reading on the measuring instruments.
The normally accepted figure for this reading is between 60 and 90.

  1. The systolic component:
    Is the sharp rise in force inside the arteries produced by the contraction of the left side of the heart when it forces the volume of blood in its ventricle into the already filled and under-pressure arterial system.
    The normal range is between 90 and 130.

Therefore, the accepted normal blood pressure systolic over diastolic is 90 over 60( 90/60) to 130 over 90( 130/90).

The difference in the two readings is significant.
It means that the blood is being stirred by the rush of new blood in the arteries. This prevents blood’s heavier constituents from sedimenting( forming clots) in the stagnant areas.
It means an added pressure that will squeeze some clear serum through the tiny holes in the capillaries and into the filtration areas in the kidneys for cleansing of the blood.

The significance of the diastolic pressure is in its effects of filling all blood vessels of the body so none remains empty. There are no problems like in the NWSC where they get air-locks which stops water flow or like in vehicles where they get air-gaps( okusika embeho) in the fuel systems!

The problem of blood circulation becomes apparent if the diastolic pressure raises well above or falls well below the normal range.

If diastolic pressure raises above the range: it means the heart has much more pressure to work against when forcing blood into the circulation. If this is prolonged, the heart will become tired ( heart failure) and the vessels will be overshocked, thickened and become inelastic to withstand the repeated onslaught.

Diastolic pressure well below normal affects circulation especially the brain.
Not enough pressure in the arteries that go to the brain thus less oxygen reaching the vital brain centers.

This results into feeling faint and not fully focused and you get blurred vision, severe dizziness and fainting to the ground on standing up suddenly.
