Blood pressure is the amount of blood circulated by the heart through the arteries to the rest of the body. When the heart beats, the amount of blood sent through the arteries can vary depending on age and other associated factors like gender, genetics, weight, smoking, cholesterol, physical activity, and diabetes. Ensuring healthy blood pressure levels is fundamental to overall health and quality of life. Poor blood pressure is associated with a number of serious health problems.

Low Blood Pressure
Maintaining normal blood pressure levels requires a healthy diet, regular exercise, and sometimes the help of medication. Hypotension (low blood pressure) is experienced when not enough blood is delivered to the body’s organs. Without sufficient blood, organs don’t work properly and can be damaged. In particular, the brain can malfunction without enough blood to maintain healthy functions.

High Blood Pressure
Both low and high blood pressure are serious medical conditions. That being said, hypertension (high blood pressure) is a more commonly experienced condition. A number of health problems can arise if high blood pressure is not addressed. Thyroid disease, kidney disorders, and sleep apnea are common causes of hypertension. A main factor in high blood pressure is age, with 75% of women and 60% of men over 75 experiencing hypertension, while only 25% of people under 75 experience high blood pressure.

Lifestyle
Lifestyle is a major concern. How you choose to live can have a huge impact on the quality of your blood pressure. Regular exercise can support normal blood pressure. The human body needs a minimum of 2.5 hours a week or around 20 minutes a day of exercise. Low-fat, low-salt diets are next on the list for blood pressure supporting lifestyle choices. Smoking, alcohol, and stress fill out lifestyle considerations when thinking about blood pressure.
