Normal Blood Pressure
December 5, 2007 on 9:28 pm | In Main, Fitness |Blood pressure (strictly speaking: vascular pressure) refers to the force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels, and constitutes one of the principal vital signs. The pressure of the circulating blood decreases as blood moves through arteries, arterioles, capillaries, and veins; the term blood pressure generally refers to arterial pressure, i.e., the pressure in the larger arteries, arteries being the blood vessels which take blood away from the heart. Arterial pressure is most commonly measured via a sphygmomanometer, which uses the height of a column of mercury to reflect the circulating pressure (see Non-invasive measurement). Although many modern vascular pressure devices no longer use mercury, vascular pressure values are still universally reported in millimetres of mercury (mmHg). The systolic arterial pressure is defined as the peak pressure in the arteries, which occurs near the beginning of the cardiac cycle; the diastolic arterial pressure is the lowest pressure (at the resting phase of the cardiac cycle). The average pressure throughout the cardiac cycle is reported as mean arterial pressure; the pulse pressure reflects the difference between the maximum and minimum pressures measured. Typical values for a resting, healthy adult human are approximately 120 mmHg (16 kPa) systolic and 80 mmHg (11 kPa) diastolic (written as 120/80 mmHg, and spoken as “one twenty over eighty”) with large individual variations. These measures of arterial pressure are not static, but undergo natural variations from one heartbeat to another and throughout the day (in a circadian rhythm); they also change in response to stress, nutritional factors, drugs, or disease. Hypertension refers to arterial pressure being abnormally high, as opposed to hypotension, when it is abnormally low. Along with body temperature, blood pressure measurements are the most commonly measured physiological parameters.

What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is basically a simple thing. Your doctor measures it to determine how strongly the blood is pumping through your veins. This gives the doctor a general idea of the health of your veins and heart. Most of the time, this system works perfectly, but a few things can cause difficulties.

If your results are high, it’s called high blood pressure, or hypertension.

If your veins accumulate debris, the inside of the “hose” is narrowed at that spot. The heart then has to work harder to force your blood through the narrowed area. This increases the pressure in your vascular system, and causes an extra strain on your heart, just as it does with a garden hose.

In most cases you won’t notice any symptoms of this condition. Your blood vessels won’t swell noticeably; there won’t be any bruising, and certainly no pain. You might notice a slightly faster heart beat, but probably not. This is why you need your doctor to test your blood pressure.

This is why it’s very important to support and maintain a normal healthy blood pressure.

Citric acid, although acid in its fresh form (lemon and limes) transforms during metabolism into alkali. This is helpful to your blood. Our American diet tends to be overly acidic from coffee, sodas, alcohol, and certain proteins. An acidic condition tends to be more inflammatory.

Citric acid is essential to the Krebs cycle, Citric acid, together with malic acid, are involved with complex chemical actions, resulting in the production of carbon dioxide, and its removal from the cells.

Citric acid is also used as a natural preservative to maintain freshness of many products, and serves this role, as well, in the Hypercet BPF.

Citric Acid is a naturally occurring substance with no known side effects.
