so blood pressure what is blood pressure well first of all it’s the if you’re

measuring two things you’re measuring the heart’s ability to contract and the

heart’s ability to relax so the contraction pressure it’s called the

systolic should be 120 amount of pressure and 80 is the diastolic that’s

the bottom number and that’s the ability of the heart to relax so if this is high

then the person the heart is like it’s like a muscle that’s contracting but

it’s not letting down and turning off enough this is too high we get too much

contraction this is controlled by the sympathetic part of the nervous system

and this is controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system okay so

that’s what this is and when you have an adrenal problem you’ll start to get a

problem with the systolic going too high at before the diastolic so make note of

that because that’s one another thing that you should know about when you do

your evaluation now pulse rate the pulse rate is the number of times the heart

will beat in a course of a minute normal it should be 72 the more fit the person

is it should go down to 60 50 maybe even 40 okay but if the person is not

exercising and they’re kind of overweight or whatever and it’s low that

means it’s a weak heart if it’s high too high they’re losing the parasympathetic

control and they’re not able to push it down and so that’s that on that HRV

graph that’s the small dial that going going to the left it’s weaker so if you

look at the HRV graph if the small dial which should be here you’re going to see

it go right here as they lose that parasympathetic the pulse rate will go

higher higher higher because it can’t push the thing down now the other

problem that can cause a high pulse rate would be potassium deficiency and why

would they get a potassium deficiency not just because they’re not eating

enough potassium and from the food because they have to

have seven cups but they’re eating a lot of sugar sugar depletes potassium

refined carbohydrates will deplete potassium cheesecake might deplete some

potassium if there’s sugar in it and then the pulse rate goes higher and higher

higher and the person is going to hear a little beat boom boom boom boom in their

ear so then you add more greens and then avocado whatever and then we have to

avoid the sugar so that’s what I want to talk about with blood pressure
