Blood pressure
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against blood vessel walls. The heart pumps blood into the arteries (blood vessels), which carry the blood throughout the body. High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is dangerous because it makes the heart work harder to pump blood to the body and it contributes to hardening of the arteries or atherosclerosis and the development of heart failure.
Tips for lowering Blood pressure:
Stop smoking
Smoking reduces the oxygen supply to the organs of the body, improve cholesterol levels and increase blood pressure. Therefore, quitting smoking is a major step in controlling blood pressure and diabetes.
Lose weight
Weight reduction associated with decreased blood pressure, you can lose weight by reducing fat and calorie intake and exercise regularly. High-fat diet will automatically increase food consumption and total energy and will decrease if your diet low in fat.
Sports do not have the effect of too large in weight loss. However, the exercise 35-40 minutes a day is good for improving insulin sensitivity, reduces blood glucose levels and maintain body weight in the long term.
Normal" Blood Pressure

Normal: Less than 120/80
Prehypertension: 120-139/80-89
Stage 1 high blood pressure: 140-159/90-99
Stage 2 high blood pressure: 160 and above/100 and above
People whose blood pressure is above the normal range should consult their doctor about methods for lowering it.
Following Foods to reduce hypertension or prevent it.
Green peas: Green peas also contain plenty of fiber and vitamins. Plant them early in the spring since peas tend to wither and dwindle when temperatures rise.
Tomatoes: The chemical lycopene, responsible for tomato’s bright color, is also a powerful antioxidant. Buy disease-free tomato plants and wait until after the last frost to plant them.
Sweet potatoes: Sweet potatoes contain fiber, vitamin A and antioxidants, as well. Sweet potatoes need warm temperatures and a long growing season to mature.
Winter squash: Also high in fiber, beta carotene and vitamin A, winter squash need plenty of room, fertile soil and a long growing season.
Berries: Dr. Parente says a recent study found that eating a cup of blueberries or strawberries weekly may prevent high blood pressure. Strawberries grow well in full sun and moist, rich soil. Blueberries, on the other hand, have very specific growing needs. Unless your soil is very acidic (4.5 to 5.5) you’re probably better off buying fresh or frozen berries.Contact Detail:
