Blood Pressure

What is Blood Pressure The pumping action of the heart generates the flow Blood pressure is the force that blood exerts againts blood vessel walls. Pressure occures when the flow is met by resistance from blood vessel walls.

DEFINITION Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood in the circulatory system, often measured for diagnosis since it is closely related to the force and rate of the heartbeat and the diameter and elasticity of the arterial walls.

Type of Blood Pressure Depending on the NATURE OF BLOOD VESSEL - Arterial B.P Venous B.P Capillary B.P

Causes of High Blood Pressure Often-times unknown Narrowing of the arteries Fast heart rate Kidney disease Medications Thyroid disease

Controlling Your Blood Pressure Lifestyle Changes Healthy eating plan Limit sodium Achieve a healthy weight Exercise/physical activity Achieve a healthy weight Don’t smoke Limit alcohol

DIETARY APPROACH TO STOP HYPERTENSION Follow the DASH dite to potentially lower your blood pressure
