Understanding Blood Pressure: What Do Those Numbers Really Mean?

This video looks at blood pressure and what the upper and lower numbers mean. The Two Numbers 1. Systolic Pressure (Top Number): This is the first number you’ll see. It’s the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats and pushes blood out. Imagine your heart is like a pump pushing water through pipes—this is the force that’s needed to make it happen. 2. Diastolic Pressure (Bottom Number): This is the second number. It measures the pressure when your heart is at rest between beats. Think of it like your heart taking a little break before the next beat. 🧠 Free GIFT (Boost your Brain health): https://think-your-health.ck.page/497... 🩸 FREE GIFT: (Blood pressure chart):https://think-your-health.ck.page/blo... 🆓 FREE GIFT ( Walking program ) : https://thinkyourhealth.ck.page/8cb73... 📚: Atomic habits by James Clear: https://amzn.to/3yqTwkq 🌍 Here you can read the latest transcript:https://drthinkyourhealth.com/what-do... 🌍 Check latest Wellbeing blog: https://drthinkyourhealth.com/blog/ ⏰TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 00:10 Systolic and diastolic numbers explained 00:55 Understanding blood pressure numbers ❤️ Welcome to the Health Zone: 🆓 Free downloadable walking program: https://thinkyourhealth.ck.page/8cb73... 🌍 My website / blog : https://drthinkyourhealth.com/ 📧 Sign up to my FREE weekly email newsletter : https://thinkyourhealth.ck.page/4a4d6... 🍏 Check latest Wellbeing blog: https://drthinkyourhealth.com/blog/ 🔴 Affiliate links: 📚: Atomic habits by James Clear: https://amzn.to/3yqTwkq 📚: The power of habit by Charles Duhigg: https://amzn.to/44a2Zdj 📚: The ONE thing by Gary Keller https://amzn.to/47uRvUr 📚Start here: Master the lifelong habit of wellbeing by Eric Langshur: https://amzn.to/3YNl53X 📚 Eat that frog by Brian Tracey : https://amzn.to/447Wk3n 📚 Make time by Jake Knapp& John Zeratsky :https://amzn.to/3OQjF3P 📱Social Media links: TIKTOK:   / dr.thinkyourhealth   FACEBOOK:   / thinkyourhealth   INSTAGRAM:   / dr.thinkyourhealth   TWITTER:   / thinkyourhealth   🔴 Sources: https://drthinkyourhealth.com/can-ibu... https://drthinkyourhealth.com/which-o... https://drthinkyourhealth.com/how-to-... 🔴 Medical/ Health DISCLAIMER Although I am a physician by profession, I am not YOUR Physician.All content and information on this YT channel including our programs, products and/or services is for informational and educational purposes only, does not constitute medical, psychological or health advice of any kind and we do not warrant that the information presented herein is free of any errors or omissions.
