High blood pressure, affecting almost 50% of adults, is a significant health concern that requires attention. While medication is common, exercise can effectively lower blood pressure. Blood pressure readings consist of two numbers: systolic (pressure during heartbeats) and diastolic (pressure between beats). To diagnose high blood pressure, only one of these numbers needs to be elevated. Factors contributing to high blood pressure include modifiable lifestyle choices and non-modifiable biological factors, indicating the importance of personal responsibility in mitigating risks.
High blood pressure is a common health concern, affecting nearly half of all adults, highlighting the need for effective management through lifestyle changes and exercise.
Systolic pressure indicates how much pressure your blood exerts on artery walls during a heartbeat, while diastolic pressure reflects the pressure in arteries when the heart refills.
