Why It Matters for Your Health Journey of Serenity and Self-Discovery?
What Is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps. It is recorded in two numbers:
-
Systolic pressure (top number): Pressure when the heart beats
-
Diastolic pressure (bottom number): Pressure when the heart rests
A normal blood pressure reading is usually around 120/80 mmHg.
Why Is Blood Pressure Important?
Maintaining healthy blood pressure is essential for overall well-being. Uncontrolled blood pressure can silently damage vital organs such as the heart, brain, kidneys, and eyes. That’s why it is often called the “silent killer.”
Types of Blood Pressure Problems
-
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension): Increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease
-
Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension): Can cause dizziness, fainting, and weakness
Both conditions require medical attention and proper monitoring.
Common Causes of High Blood Pressure
-
Stress and anxiety
-
Unhealthy diet (excess salt and fat)
-
Lack of physical activity
-
Obesity
-
Smoking and alcohol use
