  • High Blood Pressure. The Risks And The Solutions.  By : Graeme Lanham
    World Health Organisation research has shown that 11 percent of all significant disease in a developed country is caused by high blood pressure. It is one of the top ten conditions most commonly reported to doctors, accounting for 61 percent of all complaints. Deaths from coronary heart disease and stroke are strongly linked to high blood pressure.

    It is the number 1 cause of strokes and normalizing blood pressure cuts the risk of stroke in half, according to studies at the Stroke Prevention and Atherosclerosis Research Institute in London, Ontario. No other preventative measure is as effective.

    So what is high blood pressure or hypertension and what can you do to control it? The Heart Foundation defines “normal” as less than 120/80. High blood pressure is defined by the US National Institute of Health as a reading of 140/90 or higher. These “normal” and “high” figures increase with age, so you should discuss this with your doctor.
