However you want to slice it and dice it, you have to keep pressure down to recommended levels or organs like your kidneys will not last and your risk of stroke/heart attack increases.Lot's of people around here and around the world are dealing with high BP. Many of them are given medicine to lower the blood pressure. Assuming the high BP is due to clogging of the pipes, does lowering BP with meds cause a reduction in blood flow volume moving through the pipes?
Here is my reasoning. Assume you need a given amount of fluid to move through a pipe in a given amount of time. If the pipe is obstructed with build-up, the inside diameter will be reduced. That would require a pump, feeding the pipe, to increase pressure to move the same amount of fluid through the pipe in the same amount of time.
My belief is, the body needs a certain volume of blood to move through it's pipes. If those pipes become restricted, the heart works harder to increase pressure to maintain the needed volume. If our pipes are clogged and we reduce the pressure the heart puts out with meds, wouldn't that reduce volume moving through our pipes?
