10. Common Blood Pressure Myths — Busted
Let’s clear up a few misconceptions that can mislead people:
❌ Myth 2: “Only old people have high blood pressure.”
Even young adults and teens can develop it, especially with poor diet or stress.
❌ Myth 3: “I don’t need to check it often.”
Regular monitoring — even once a week — can save your life.
❌ Myth 4: “Coffee always raises blood pressure.”
Not necessarily. It depends on individual sensitivity and how much you drink.
11. The Takeaway: Know Your Numbers, Protect Your Heart
Your blood pressure tells a powerful story. It reflects your diet, lifestyle, and overall heart health.
To recap the normal blood pressure chart by age:
-
Children: 95/60 – 105/70
-
Teens: 110/70 – 120/80
-
Adults (19–39): 110/70 – 130/85
-
Seniors (60+): 120/80 – 145/90
A healthy blood pressure means a strong heart and longer life. Check it regularly, eat well, move more, and stay mindful of your numbers.
Remember: every small change counts — and your heart will thank you later.
