Описание: Seniors, Blood Pressure, Which Number Is Actually Dangerous? | Senior Health Tips
Most seniors are told to focus on one thing: the top number. If the bottom number looks “beautiful,” they relax. But here’s the terrifying truth — for many adults over 60, a reading like 160/60 is not reassuring. It can be a silent signature of arterial stiffness and a dangerous condition called wide pulse pressure — the hidden “gap” that can quietly raise stroke risk, kidney damage, and cognitive decline without warning.
In today’s survival-style briefing, we start with a real-world case: a senior who did everything right… and still suffered a devastating stroke. The reason wasn’t diet, genetics, or “bad luck.” It was the one number nobody calculated — the space between the numbers.
🧠 In this eye-opening video, you’ll learn:
Why a low diastolic number isn’t always “good news” after 60


How stiff arteries turn your heartbeat into a water-hammer effect inside the brain and kidneys

⚠️ If you’re over 60 — or caring for someone who is — pay close attention to the section on diastolic pressure and heart oxygen supply. Lower isn’t always safer in older adults, especially with stiff arteries.
👇 Do this now: take your most recent reading and calculate your gap.
Then comment: “My gap is __” (example: “My gap is 70”).
If you understand the calculation, type Max1 in the comments so I know we’re locked in together.
✅ Ready for the challenge? If you’ll add one potassium-rich food in your next meal, type: “Potassium Yes”.
