Hypertension
What is Hypertension (High blood pressure)?
High blood pressure increases the risk of dangerous health problems, like
cardiac arrests or strokes.
Physicians measure the blood pressure by means of 2 values: like 120/80. The first value shows
the pressure in the arteries during every heartbeat, the second number shows
the pressure between 2 heartbeats. If one of the 2 values is too high,
it could be dangerous.
Optimal 120/80 or less
Normal 139/89 of less
Hypertension 140/90 or higher
Keeping the blood pressure under control is very important and the treatment usually demands that the patients need to take medication.
However, changes in the nutrition pattern can bring down the blood pressure and can reduce the need of medication.
