Hypertension and ways to prevent it:
Blood pressure is an important vital sign that indicates the force of blood pumping from the heart and the resistance and elasticity of the blood vessels. normally when the heart contracts to pump blood into the arteries to the body the systolic blood pressure is around 120 mmHg 20 and when the heart relaxes to collect the blood back from the body through the veins the diastolic pressure is around 80 mmHg 20 , if your blood pressure reading is 140 /90 or above in more than one setting you are considered to be a hypertensive and you will have to add some lifestyle changes to avoid exacerbating the problem and progressing to severe heart diseases, kidney diseases and strokes .Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death from non-communicable disease in all countries of the world they are responsible for 32% of all global deaths with millions of people dying everyday there are many classes of cardiovascular disease including coronary artery disease, ischemic heart disease ,heart failure and strokes mostly attributable to obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, inflammation, smoking, and oxidative stress.
Some of the many great ways to reduce your blood pressure are:
1) exercise regularly:
Having a weekly workout routine is a fail-proof way to lower high blood pressure; as exercise helps your heart pump blood more efficiently and it lowers your resting heart rate and makes your arteries remain elastic and more dilated, all these effects combined can greatly lower blood pressure if done regularly along with the produced endorphins that open up your blood vessels.
