High Blood Pressure:
The blood circulating in the body exerts a certain force on the walls of the arteries, veins and the heart chambers. If the force increases, then the blood pressure increases and high blood pressure can trigger the formation of plaque in the arteries (arteriosclerosis), which can later lead to heart attacks and strokes. So, high blood pressure needs to be controlled.
Natural Cures:
Quit Smoking: Smoking narrows the blood arteries and capillaries and increases blood pressure.
