Blood Pressure- How to Reduce High Blood Pressure ?
What is Blood Pressure ?
It is the force that keeps your blood flowing throughout the body and thus provides food and oxygen to all the cells of the body. ۔ This force is created by the process of pumping your heart.
The blood pressure of all human beings also fluctuates. Whenever you are under mental or physical pressure, your blood pressure also rises. Whenever mental or physical pressure on you increases, so does your blood pressure. Excitement and exercise also increase it. It decreases when you are at rest or sleepy. Often your blood pressure stays at your normal level depending on your age.
In general, the younger the age, the lower the blood pressure.
When your blood pressure rises and rises all the time, it is called high blood pressure (hypertension) or hypertension.
Why does high blood pressure occur ?
Nothing can be said for sure about that. In 10% of cases, it is the result of an internal disease, such as kidney disease.
Blood pressure rises for three reasons:
(1) When the amount of water and salt increases the amount or volume of blood.
(2) When the arteries that carry blood from the heart to all parts of the body become hard and narrow.
(3) When the heart pumps blood very fast and hard
You dont feel it but it is damaging your body silently.
The damage is gradual, so high blood pressure is called a "silent killer."
Complications
High blood pressure causes the arteries to harden. The accumulation of fatty substances on the walls or lining inside them makes them hard. The following causes increase the risk of high blood pressure:
Hereditary effects
Observations suggest that hereditary effects may be the cause. If a parent, sibling has high blood pressure, you may also have it.
Eating more salt
Sodium in salt increases blood volume by accumulating more water in the blood. This causes many people to suffer from high blood pressure.
Overweight
If you are obese, you will have to push your heart harder while walking. More fat will build up inside your arteries and make them harder and tighter.
More stress
Blood pressure rises temporarily in times of anger, excitement and stress, so two to four people a day can gradually become hypertensive due to these conditions.

Suffering from high blood pressure ?
Since its symptoms are not obvious, it can only be detected by checking. Blood pressure test is also easy and this test is done very quickly without any pain or difficulty. Blood pressure (systolic =) is when the heart is beating. Blood pressure (diastolic = expansion) is when the heart is resting during the heartbeat.
This is how blood pressure is expressed
Contraction 120
Expansion 80
It is read by 120 and 80.
How to check blood pressure
Wrap a rubber band around your arm and fill it with air, until the pressure stops the flow of blood in the arm. When this air is released slowly, the first sound of the heart that comes during this time is your contraction, that is, increased blood pressure. When high air pressure is released, blood flow returns to normal, and the sound stops, it's your expansion, that is, less pressure.
Can the risk of high blood pressure be reduced?
Yes, the risk of high blood pressure can be reduced by changing the lifestyle and eating habits. You can't treat hereditary side effects, but you can be careful.

Find your standard weight and lose weight with moderation and exercise in your diet.
Eat less fats
Eat less fatty foods and high cholesterol foods. This way you can control your weight as well as protect yourself from the risk of excess fat clotting in the arteries.
Exercise regularly

۔Eat less salt
