Description: High blood pressure is a major global health challenge and one of the main reasons why it has become more prevalent is because increasingly more economically developing countries are adopting the western lifestyle which leads to sedentary behaviour, physical inactivity, consumption of calorie dense fatty foods, high sodium intake and excessive levels of stress. It is also well recognised that excessively elevated blood pressure numbers can be associated with harm to the body at a microscopic level initially and then over a course of years that damage can start manifesting as strokes, heart attacks and kidney failure and therefore there is great emphasis by healthcare bodies around the world to reduce high blood pressure numbers through lifestyle and medications.
