High blood pressure is a disease caused by blockage of certain blood vessels that carry messages to the brain, and as soon as they fail to function they have a problem.

The World Health Organization (WHO), in a report, estimates that there are 1.13 billion people living with the disease worldwide, and two-thirds are middle class.

A 2015 WHO study found that 1 in 4 men suffer from this disease, while 1 in 5 in women suffer from high blood pressure.

High blood pressure is a complex disease that cannot be cured once it is diagnosed.

Its treatment is expensive - it is not the same as headache or malaria.

If the cost of the medicine you bought in three years will be collected for this disease you will see it is not a small amount of money.

It is a highly contagious disease that causes heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and other ailments, according to the WHO.

Less than 1 in 5 people with the disease are able to take medication properly, which is why many die prematurely, according to health authorities.

In Nigeria, one study estimates that more than 100 million people suffer from the disease , and instead of declining, the number is constantly increasing due to the way people live, and the way people eat or drink, the head of the Lagos Teaching Hospital Professor Adewale Oke.

Due to the lack of access to hospitals, many people suffer from this condition but do not even know they have it.

Causes of the disease

  • Obesity or body weight

  • Stress in the brain

  • Alcohol

  • Eating too much salt

  • Cancer

  • Eating fatty foods

  • Bed

  • Lack of exercise

As we explained above that high blood pressure comes with some very serious diseases, yet it can be treated for a long time without rising.

  • Reduce salt intake (less than 5 kilograms per day)

  • Consumption of leafy vegetables

  • Exercise regularly

  • abstain from smoking

Blood pressure is among the diseases that can cause a serious problem to the person suffering from it. But I think the blood pressure, diabetes mellitus are all can be inherited from the parents. Thank you for sharing this wonderful information with us. Also in the process of curing this disease, we should be taking fruits, vegetables such as moringa olifera etc.
