	Optimal blood pressure is when it does not significantly
increase cardiovascular risk (heart attacks and strokes).
	That would be <140 over <90 for middle age and over.
	Any other values are big-pharma crap.

	My grandparents lived to their 90's (one had her 103
birthday). Their average blood pressure was in the region of 130/90.
	3 of them died due to complications from LOWERING their blood
pressure far too much. New WHO "blood pressure guide". 18 of the 19
"experts" admitted to funding by big pharma.....
	Also, the best treatment for high blood pressure is losing
weight, cutting out salt, doing exercise and if necessary diuretics -
chlortalidone, not hydrochlorothiazide(the latter has a short half
life, the former does not matter if you miss a dose due to long half
life, the elderly tend to forget).
	Only if that does not work should you start thinking about
other drugs.
	Cue #FAKE_NEWS_GUY to tell me that proves vaccines are bad...
LOL.
