A diet high in salt can increase blood volume, damage blood vessels and kidneys, leading to high blood pressure.

Weight loss, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep are three of several recommendations from Professor Eric Topol, a US cardiologist, for effective cardiovascular disease prevention.

Low blood pressure affects the function of the heart, kidneys, and brain, increasing the risk of falls and shock when changing positions suddenly.

Consuming too much sugar, lack of physical activity, and prolonged sitting can reduce blood flow, leading to increased blood pressure.

People with high blood pressure can manage their levels by avoiding alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, and reducing salt intake.

Experts recommend wall sits and hand grips to regulate blood pressure.

Boiled soybeans, bananas, and potatoes are rich in potassium, magnesium, calcium, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids that can help balance blood pressure.

Beets, raw garlic, coconut water, and green tea contain active ingredients that benefit blood vessels, help lower high blood pressure, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications when used correctly.
