Hypertension means high blood pressure. It can lead to serious health complications such as heart disease, stroke, and sometimes increase the risk of death. Today, high blood pressure levels can be observed in nearly half of some populations. We often see people using blood pressure-lowering drugs around us.

Blood pressure is the force a person's blood exerts on the walls of their blood vessels. This pressure depends on the resistance of the blood vessels and how long the heart has to work. It is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and aneurysm.

Medicines to keep blood pressure under control are only beneficial as long as they are used, lifestyle modification is crucial to maintaining health and reducing the risk of these dangerous situations. It is an important step in the treatment that patients learn why their blood pressure may increase, how to monitor it and how to keep it within a normal range.

Nutrition and lifestyle are very important factors in controlling blood pressure. For example, studies have shown that magnesium deficiency causes high blood pressure, and calorie reduction is beneficial even when administered alone.
