How do I have good blood pressure?

Question

I’m overweight and don’t have the best diet. Doctors seem surprised when my blood pressure reads normal. I’m wondering what could be the cause of that? I’m obviously not concerned but just wondering what I could be doing right to keep my blood pressure normal considering my weight and diet.

Answer

It has to do with peripheral vascular resistance, which in short means the way your blood flows through the vessels and arteries, the size of those vessels, and the viscosity of your blood. The faster it flows, the higher your blood pressure. The slower, it is, the lower it is. 
Yes, normally those who are overweight or have high cholesterol have higher BP. But it’s like 1 in 7 who aren’t affected by it. You seem to be the 1. 🤷🏼‍♀️ doesn’t mean it you’re not at risk though. The older you get, the more you risk it as well.
