Just like with cholesterol numbers, Big Pharma has gone and altered blood pressure numbers so that nearly every American will think they need prescription drugs and blood thinners just to survive. Plus, with the Covid clot shots producing millions of spike proteins in the vascular system of all the sheeple, their heart is working overtime to push the blood through, so it’s likely all the jabbed vax cultists will see high numbers. Go figure.
A growing wave of heart issues among younger Americans has prompted experts to overhaul national blood pressure guidelines for the first time since 2017. Once considered a problem of aging, hypertension is now affecting an estimated 25% of young adults between ages 18 and 39 — and even children and teens are increasingly impacted. With half of U.S. adults living with high blood pressure, the condition is now a leading driver of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, cognitive decline, and dementia.
The American Heart Association’s new guidelines aim to encourage earlier detection, treatment, and prevention. They emphasize addressing what specialists describe as a “growing burden of morbidity and mortality attributable to high blood pressure.” A major innovation is PREVENT — a risk-calculation tool that estimates both 10- and 30-year cardiovascular risk in people aged 30 to 79. It factors in age, sex, blood pressure, cholesterol, and even zip code, using social determinants of health to refine individual risk scores.
Medication recommendations have also evolved. For some patients who are overweight or obese, GLP-1 medications — originally used for diabetes and weight management — are now endorsed for controlling hypertension. The updated measures also provide clearer guidance on managing blood pressure before, during, and after pregnancy, since hypertension during pregnancy can be life-threatening.
Lifestyle interventions remain a cornerstone of prevention. The new guidelines stress dietary changes, including the use of potassium-based salt substitutes instead of regular table salt, particularly in households where most sodium comes from food preparation. Adults are advised to limit sodium to less than 2,300 mg per day — ideally 1,500 mg — by checking food labels carefully. The DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) remains the gold standard: a plant-forward, low-sodium eating pattern with vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, lean proteins, and non-tropical oils. Alcohol intake should be limited to no more than two drinks per day for men and one for women, with zero being safest.
Additional preventive steps include regular physical activity — at least 75 to 150 minutes per week of cardio plus strength training — weight management, and stress-reduction techniques such as meditation, yoga, and controlled breathing.
New data from the CDC highlight the urgency. Between 2020 and 2023, 47.7% of U.S. adults had hypertension — essentially unchanged since prior surveys — but 40% of them didn’t know it. Just 21% of all adults had their blood pressure controlled to a healthy level, and younger adults were least likely to be aware or treated. Only 27% of those aged 18–39 knew they were hypertensive, and just 14% were receiving treatment, compared to 74% awareness and 69% treatment in people over 60.
This lack of awareness may help explain rising stroke and cardiac event rates in younger people. Strokes in Americans under 45 have risen nearly 15% since 2011, partly due to increased hypertension, but also obesity, drug use, and sedentary lifestyles. Hypertension — the “silent killer” — remains a leading factor in more than 685,000 U.S. deaths annually, underscoring the need for urgent, proactive intervention across all age groups.
