HYPERTENSION & BENEFIT OF GARLIC

What is High Blood Pressure/Hypertension?

Blood pressure is a measure of how hard the blood pushes against the walls of your arteries as it moves through your body. It’s normal for blood pressure to go up and down throughout the day, but if it stays up, you have high blood pressure. Another name for high blood pressure is hypertension.

For most people a blood pressure reading less than 140/85mmHg is desirable. For those already at high risk of cardiovascular disease (for example people with diabetes) the normal limit is a little lower, at 130/80 mmHg.

When blood pressure is high, it starts to damage the blood vessels, heart, and kidneys. This can lead to heart attack, stroke, and other problems. High blood pressure is called a "silent killer,'' because it doesn't usually cause symptoms while it is causing this damage.

Blood pressure changes throughout the day. In particular, it increases during exercise and decreases during sleep. It's also common for blood pressure to read a bit higher than normal when visiting a doctor. You may have what is called white-coat hypertension, which is blood pressure that goes up just because you're at the doctor’s office. Even routine activities, such as attending a meeting, can raise your blood pressure. So can commuting to work or smoking a cigarette.

If your blood pressure is normal then it needs to stay that way. If it's high, it needs to be brought down to a normal level.

There's no cure as such for hypertension, but following a healthy lifestyle and supplementing your diet can be enough to bring blood pressure down to a normal level.
