What is Hypertension?

• Hypertension is persistent high blood pressure, on the walls of arteries. If left untreated, it leads to serious health complications like heart failure. It is mostly asymptomatic and often called as the silent killer.
• It is our poor lifestyle choices, poor diet low in fibre, high in sodium along with obesity, stress, and physical activity that leads to the development of hypertension.

How Do We Manage It?

• One comes across various ways in which they can control their hypertension and at times these increase the dependence on medication along with dietary changes such as a low sodium, high potassium and calorie restricted diet to assist weight loss. The question here is how long will the changes be sustainable. One needs to do lifestyle changes as hypertension is rightly classified as chronic lifestyle disease.
