This sounds like the study which said diabetes patients had a higher risk of heart attacks and stroke if they had an A1C below 6.0. Between 6.0 and 7.0 was best. I told this to my doc and he was ready to bite my head off.

Somehow, keeping my blood pressure above 120/80 would likely meet the same response. The logic seems to be "if x is what the CDC says is right, then x -10% is even better so that's where we want you."

I'll only say I've had far fewer headaches keeping my BP below 120/80 than before then. And regular exercise, even walking, is the best medicine of all.

...you go, Orangehoof!

We're all different (I prefer swimming to walking), the drug pushers can't stand that, they even fudge the results of testing if it helps them sell drugs, "evil, pure and simple from the 8th demension"(quote from Buckeroo Bonzai")
