High Blood Pressure A Silent Killer

according to the World Health Organization over a billion adults

around the world suffer from high blood pressure. It is now taking
steps to fight against what is calleda silent killer. High blood pressure
can lead to strokes and a heart attack.
Almost 10 million people die of these two diseases every year. They
are the number one causes of death globally. High blood pressure also
leads to kidney failure, blindness, and other illnesses. It often goes
hand in hand with diabetes and obesity, which increases health risks
even further.
 As the WHO reports, people in developing countries in Africa suffer
more from high blood pressure than people in developed countries.
The reason is that health care in the developed world is much better
organized and people go to the doctor soon enough.
High blood pressure should never be ignored and always taken
seriously. It is a warning sign from your body that something is not
OK. Although people may live with high blood pressure for years
without even knowing it, it is important to check your blood pressure
regularly and take the necessary steps.
The WHO says that you can reduce your blood pressure by changing
your living habits. Eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly,
avoiding alcohol and nicotine are some things that you can do without
consulting a doctor.

organs need the oxygenated blood that your circulatory system carries
throughout the body. When the heart beats. It creates pressure that pushes
blood through a network of tube-shaped blood (2) vessel/vessels, which (3)

pressure – is the (4) result/results of two force: the first force (systolic
