Age 64, no meds. BP was 97/57 last time I donated platelets. (Do I win for lowest BP? ;-)) Only drawback is that I have to watch it right after donating blood or blood products because I get lightheaded if I stand up too quickly.
I do over an hour of cardio every day, weigh less than I did when I graduated HS and am careful about consumption of fats, meats and sugar. OTOH, my mother needed meds to lower her BP and she was also thin, active and ate healthy. She used to apologize for not putting salt in her cooking. Partly luck, I guess.
