Thank you for visiting Herbs and Oils Hub!!

When the heart beats, it produces pressure that pushes blood through blood vessels and capillaries. This distributes oxygen to the organs in the body. Blood pressure measures the pressure that occurs when the heart pumps the blood out of the heart (systolic pressure) and the pressure of the heart as it rests between beats (diastolic pressure). For example, 117/86.

The American Heart Association defines high blood pressure or hypertension Stage 1 as 140/159. High Blood Pressure Stage 2 is any reading 160+/100+

As blood is pumped through arteries the arteries stretch. If the force of the blood flow is too high, the blood flow can stretch the arteries to the point of damaging them. This can lead to a wide variety of problems:

Increased cholesterol and plaque build-up
A greater risk of blood clots
Reduced blood flow to major organs and resulting organ damage
An increased workout for the circulatory system
Heart damage and heart failure
And More

There are a lot of risk factors that can lead to high blood pressure. Here are just a few:

Being overweight
Smoking
Family History
Stress
Aging
Excess salt in diet
Sedentary lifestyle
