Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the wall of the arteries. It is recorded as two numbers, for example, 120/80. The first number (the systolic blood pressure) indicates the pressure in the arteries as the heart squeezes out blood during each beat. The second number (the diastolic blood pressure) indicates the pressure as the heart relaxes before the next beat.
A healthy lifestyle is important to help prevent high blood pressure and its associated risks. The following tips can help maintain healthy blood pressure and general well-being: Achieve and maintain a healthy weight, eat a wide variety of healthy foods, be active every day, avoid alcohol consumption and speak to your body consistently.
