Blood pressure is the pressure your body puts upon the blood vessel walls while the heart pumps. About 60 million Americans above the age of 6 years old have high blood pressure which means their hearts are required to work harder. High blood pressure increases the risk of strokes, heart attacks, kidney failure, loss of vision, and atherosceloris (hardening of the arteries of the heart).
You can prevent high blood pressure by maintaining a healthy weight, exercising, eating a balanced diet, reducing your salt intake, and by reducing stress.
