Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps it around the body. It is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and expressed as two numbers: systolic pressure (when the heart beats) over diastolic pressure (when the heart rests between beats). Maintaining a healthy blood pressure is crucial for cardiovascular health, as elevated or low blood pressure can lead to various health issues such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. Regular monitoring and management through lifestyle changes, diet, and, if necessary, medication, are essential for preventing and addressing blood pressure-related conditions.
