Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure or elevated blood pressure, is a condition where the force of blood against artery walls is consistently too high. This can result from factors such as genetics, poor diet, lack of exercise, or chronic stress. Over time, hypertension can damage blood vessels, leading to serious health issues like heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage.
To better manage and treat the condition:
1. Prehypertension: Elevated blood pressure that is not yet in the hypertensive range but could develop into it.
2. Stage 1 Hypertension: Higher than normal blood pressure that requires lifestyle changes and possibly medication.
3. Stage 2 Hypertension: More severe hypertension requiring more intensive management and medication.
Managing hypertension:
1. Maintain a balanced diet low in sodium and rich in fruits and vegetables.
2. Engage in regular physical activity, such as walking or swimming.
3. Practice relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation to reduce stress.
Implementing these strategies can significantly help:
✅ Lowering your blood pressure levels and reducing the risk of complications.
✅ Enhancing overall cardiovascular health and well-being.
✅ Improving your energy levels and reducing feelings of fatigue.
