High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure is a dangerous disease. Nearly one in three adults in the country has high blood pressure, but most don't even know it. High blood pressure has no symptoms.

When you have high blood pressure your ability to engage in very physical work or activity is limited and your risk of getting a stroke or having a heart attack is elevated to dangerous levels.  There are ways of dealing with it and even ways of eliminating hypertension from your life.

Two factors undeniably related to high blood pressure are smoking and being overweight. Unfortunately two of the hardest things in the world to do are to quit smoking and to lose weight. Studies have shown that losing weight can lower your blood pressure significantly. Stopping smoking can also be significant as smoking tends to constrict the blood vessels making the blood pressure rise.
