Hypertension, aka high blood pressure, affects about 1in adults 3 worldwide or nearly 2 billion people. High blood pressure is referred to as a silent killer because it doesn't cause many symptoms but slowly damages the heart and blood vessels eventually contributing to heart disease, kidney disease, vision loss, sexual dysfunction.
Fortunately, there are several evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle strategies for helping to lower blood pressure and we are going to outline those in this episode today.
In this episode we are going to:
- Define high blood pressure
- Describe the reasons why our blood pressure increases
- Discuss how to test your blood pressure
- Outline the nutrition and lifestyle strategies that have been shown to improve blood pressure
