In today's fast-paced world, stress has become a constant companion for many of us.
00:07
But did you know that this stress can take a toll on our health, especially our blood pressure?
00:13
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, occurs when the force of blood against the walls of your arteries is consistently too high.
00:22
This puts strain on your heart and blood vessels, increasing your risk of serious health problems.
00:28
Hypertension doesn't discriminate. It can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background.
00:36
However, certain factors can increase your risk.
00:39
Unhealthy lifestyle habits such as poor diet, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption can contribute to high blood pressure.
00:48
Additionally, if hypertension runs in your family, you may be at a higher risk.
00:54
The tricky thing about hypertension is that it often doesn't have noticeable symptoms until it reaches a severe stage.
01:02
That's why it's often referred to as the "silent killer."
01:06
But here's the good news. Hypertension is manageable.
01:10
By making healthy lifestyle changes and seeking medical treatment where necessary,
01:15
you can take control of your blood pressure and reduce your risk of complications.
01:20
Healthy habits like eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, managing stress, quitting smoking,
01:27
and limiting alcohol intake can all reduce one's chances of developing a high blood pressure.
01:33
Prevention, detection, and control are key.
01:37
Start by adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle.
01:40
If lifestyle changes alone aren't enough to manage your blood pressure, your doctor may prescribe medication.
01:46
And remember, it's important to take your medication as directed and monitor your blood pressure regularly.
01:53
On this World Hypertension Awareness Day, let's join hands in promoting prevention, detection, and control of high blood pressure.
02:01
Together, we can make heart-healthy choices and protect our health for years to come.
