While blood pressure is best regulated through the diet before it reaches the stage of hypertension, there is a range of treatment options.

Lifestyle adjustments are the standard first-line treatment for hypertension.

Regular physical exercise

Doctors recommend that patients with hypertension engage in 30 minutes of moderate-intensity, dynamic, aerobic exercise. This can include walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming on 5 to 7 days of the week.

Stress reduction

Avoiding stress, or developing strategies for managing unavoidable stress, can help with blood pressure control.

Using alcohol, drugs, smoking, and unhealthy eating to cope with stress will add to hypertensive problems. These should be avoided.

Smoking can raise blood pressure. Giving up smoking reduces the risk of hypertension, heart conditions, and other health issues.

Fast facts on hypertension:

Here are some key points about hypertension. More detail is in the main article.
•Normal blood pressure is 120 over 80 mm of mercury (mmHg), but hypertension is higher than 130 over 80 mmHg.
•Acute causes of high blood pressure include stress, but it can happen on its own, or it can result from an underlying condition, such as kidney disease.
•Unmanaged hypertension can lead to a heart attack, stroke, and other problems.
•Lifestyle factors are the best way to address high blood pressure.

Mods its time to enlighten people about the dangers of hypertension

Hypertension is another name for high blood pressure. It can lead to severe complications and increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and death.

Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels. The pressure depends on the work being done by the heart and the resistance of the blood vessels.

Medical guidelines define hypertension as a blood pressure higher than 130 over 80 millimeters of mercury (mmHg), according to guidelines issued by the American Heart Association (AHA) in November 2017.

"As it is currently, nearly 30 percent of Nigerians in a population of 170 million are hypertensive".Said Dr Amam Mbakwem, A consultant cardiologist to Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, Idi Araba and Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Lagos.

Around 85 million people in the United States have high blood pressure.

Hypertension and heart disease are global health concerns. The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests that the growth of the processed food industry has impacted the amount of salt in diets worldwide, and that this plays a role in hypertension.

Get well soon sir Alex ...My thoughts are with you .

Legendary former football manager Sir Alex Ferguson has undergone surgery for a subarachnoid brain haemorrhage after being rushed to hospital
amid fears for his health.
The 76-year-old suffered a fall at his Cheshire home as a result, and was quickly taken via an ambulance to Macclesfield district hospital.
The Scotsman was subsequently transferred, with a police escort, to be treated at the Salford Royal where he underwent surgery and now remains in intensive care.
The family of the iconic manager are said to be very pleased with
how the operation went, and are hopeful Ferguson can make a full recovery.

Dr Richard Mackenzie, senior lecturer and specialist in cell metabolism and physiology at the University of Westminster, said: "Each of the ten films tested set pulses racing, sparking an increase in the heart rate of the case studies.

"As the pulse quickens and blood pumps around the body faster, the body experiences a surge in adrenaline.

"It is this release of fast acting adrenaline, produced during short bursts of intense stress (or in this case, brought on by fear), which is known to lower the appetite, increase the Basal Metabolic Rate and ultimately burn a higher level of calories."

Helen Cowley, editor of the movie rental company LOVEFiLM - which commissioned the University of Westminster study - said: "We all know the feeling of wanting to hide behind the sofa or grab a pillow when watching scary or hair raising scenes, but this research suggests that maybe those seeking to burn some calories should keep their eyes on the screen."

Watching a horror film could burn off a whole bar of chocolate, according to new research released today.


Viewers who put themselves through 90 minutes of adrenaline-pumping terror can use up as much as 113 calories, close to the amount burned during a half-hour walk and the equivalent to a chocolate bar.

The movie top of the list of calorie-burners was found to be the 1980 psychological thriller The Shining, with the average viewer using up a whopping 184 calories.

Jaws took the runner-up spot, with viewers burning on average 161 calories, and The Exorcist came third, with 158 calories.

The University of Westminster study measured the total energy expenditure of ten different people as they watched a selection of frightening movies.

Scientists recorded their heart rate, oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output - and discovered the number of calories used increased by on average a third during the films.

The research also revealed films featuring moments designed to make viewers jump in terror are the best calorie-burners, as they cause heart rates to soar.

First of all I will advice you don't get desperate about it.

Foods like legumes,fruits and vegetables are great and a little carbohydrates.

Not to mention the time and type of food you do have for dinner.This plays a great role as night is the time your body gets maximum rest.

Furthermore,exercise plays significant role...what I mean by exercise is relevant exercise not just jumping up and down in the name of exercise.
