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 called a 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.
