Blood pressure is a vital sign in the healthcare world. The definition of vital is absolutely necessary or important. In other words, essential to the function of life. Blood pressure is one of five vital signs that indicates the trajectory of your past, present and even future health. So what exactly does blood pressure mean if it is so important? Blood pressure measures the force of blood against the blood vessel walls as it travels throughout your body. It is the body’s way of telling you how healthy your arteries are. Too often, the common issue many people have when it comes to blood pressure is it being too high. A text book blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg. As those numbers start to creep higher and higher it is the body’s way of telling you that your arteries are becoming stiff, inflamed, and less capable of doing the job they were designed to do. The heart has to work harder in order to pump blood, through unhealthy arteries, to other organs. High blood pressure develops slowly over time, it rarely ever just happens overnight. It is built meal by meal, habit by habit, year after year. The foods you eat, the quality of those foods, and the patterns you repeat every day shape the health of your arteries far more than most people realize. Yes, there are medications designed to lower blood pressure, and millions of people rely on them. But medications do just that, lower the blood pressure. They do not fix the underlying problem. They lower the number on the monitor, but they do not repair the damage that created the number in the first place. In many cases, they act more like a bandage; managing the symptom while the root cause continues quietly in the background. So what do you do? You start where the problem began. In the kitchen. One bite at a time, you can heal your blood pressure.
