Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is often called the “silent killer” because it shows no symptoms but can lead to stroke, heart disease, and kidney failure.
How to fight it:
-
Reduce salt intake—too much sodium raises blood pressure.
-
Exercise regularly—at least 150 minutes of moderate activity weekly.
-
Quit smoking and limit alcohol intake.
-
Manage stress through meditation, deep breathing, or yoga.
-
Check your blood pressure at home or at the clinic frequently.
👉 Hypertension can be prevented and managed. Small changes to diet and lifestyle make a big difference.
