Do we blame ourselves for any increase in blood pressure? High blood pressure (hypertension) is a condition that is more prevalent in Western cultures, mainly from poor dietary habits. The cultures that are remote and follow their traditional diets have very little incidence of high blood pressure, even in advanced ageing.
This news is exciting as it promises that through diet and lifestyle changes, with intelligent and preventative measures we may be able to improve our heart and blood conditions to take back control of our health. Areas like natural therapies, particularly with lifestyle and dietary modifications can all result in significant improvements in lowering one’s blood pressure.
