Bye bye to BP, eat these things

Blood Pressure Problems: Changing food habits and lifestyle have become the cause of many diseases. Due to bad lifestyle, today the problem of blood pressure ie BP has become common. Generally, you will definitely find a patient of BP in every other house. Our heart pumps blood to different corners of the body. The pressure exerted by the blood on the walls of our arteries is called blood pressure or BP. Due to increase in BP, there is pressure on the arteries and heart due to which people have heart attack or heart related diseases.

There are two types of BP

First of all, understand that there are two types of BP. First systolic and second diastolic. The blood pressure of a healthy person is usually less than 120/80 mmHg. If a person’s BP is less or more than this, then he has a problem of BP. Due to high blood pressure, a person can have serious problems like stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure. The symptoms of BP usually do not appear earlier, so it is important that you keep checking your BP regularly.

According to health nutritionist Bhakti Kapoor, high BP is a condition that affects the arteries of the body. If a person has high BP then the pressure of the blood against the walls of the arteries increases continuously. Due to this the heart has to work harder to pump blood. He told that if BP is not treated on time then the person may have stroke, heart attack and other serious health problems. Bhakti Kapoor told that high BP can be prevented by lifestyle changes, not smoking, exercising and eating well. He told that people who do not detect high BP in the beginning or who start having more problems with blood pressure, they need medicines. People whose blood pressure is high, they are advised to take BP medicines daily.
