Blood pressure rising with global temperature


It was reported that almost 1 billion people have high blood pressure worldwide and this number is still increasing. Heart disease and hypertension has been some of the killers of over millions of people every year. Doctors have been warning us to have a healthy diet and regular exercise to lessen stress. Patients seldom notice symptoms until organs already have been damaged. Normal blood pressure is measured at less than 120 over 80. Anyone can get high blood pressure, a level of 140 over 90 or more. But being overweight and inactive, and eating too much salt, all increase the risk. So does getting older. Be more aware.
