Why is high blood pressure important?
If you have high blood pressure (known medically as hypertension), the heart must work harder to push blood around the body, increasing strain.
It is easy to get, and hard to get rid of. One in every three American adults have high blood pressure, and it contributes to 1,000 US deaths per day.
To normalise blood pressure is one of, if not the most important thing you can do to increase your health, quality of life and lifespan.

Other measures include physical activity, adequate sleep, sun exposure, meditation and other stress management practices.
