High blood pressure (hypertension) is a condition in where the force of blood pumping through the arteries is consistently too high.
When this occurs, the walls of the arteries are extended beyond their normal limit, which can lead to damage and scarring and put people at risk for heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.
One of the first lines of defence against rising blood pressure is diet. By adopting a more healthy and well-balanced way of eating your reading will be naturally lowered.
