The blood that circulates through the arteries in the body delivers nutrients and oxygen to all the cells. The blood needs a certain amount of "pressure" to circulate in the veins, but when this pressure exceeds a certain "limit", it is called high blood pressure or hypertension.
Symptoms of mild to moderate hypertension do not appear for years. The first symptom is pain in the back of the head and neck when you wake up in the morning, which also disappears quickly. Other symptoms include dizziness, arm, shoulder, leg and back pain, rapid heartbeat, chest pain, urinary incontinence, nervous tension, fatigue, lethargy, emotional turmoil, fatigue and insomnia.
The main causes of hypertension are mental and emotional stress and wrong lifestyle. People with mental strain usually suffer from high blood pressure. If this stretch lasts for a long time, the pressure rises permanently. Even if the tension is reduced or eliminated after that, the pressure does not decrease. Irregular lifestyles, smoking, excessive drug use, tea, coffee, cola drinks, flour products and other artificially produced foods impair the body's natural functions causing high blood pressure.
Here are some useful natural ingredients to control high blood pressure.
