what is blood pressure

Blood is pumped around the body by the heart carrying oxygen and nutrients. As a result of the pumping action of the heart and the size and flexibility of the arteries that carry blood, the blood is under pressure. This blood pressure is an essential and normal part of the way the body works.

High blood pressure develops if:

the walls of your larger arteries lose their elasticity and become rigid

the small blood vessels become narrower

Top 5 ways to prevent it

1) Follow a healthy eating pattern

2) Reduce the salt and sodium intake in your diet

3) Maintain a healthy weight

4) Be more physically Active

5) If you smoke (then Quit!)

There is not a set in stone known cause of high blood pressure but it is proven that the previous implications can add to it.
