Cardiovascular Health

Blood Pressure

The lateral force exerted by circulating blood on arterial walls.

Clinical Relevance

Chronic hypertension damages arterial walls, accelerating atherosclerosis, kidney scarring, and stroke risk. It is known as the silent killer because high pressure rarely causes active symptoms.

Why It Varies

Varies with sodium sensitivity, arterial stiffness, chronic stress, caffeine intake, sleep quality, and vascular fluid volumes.

Longevity & Lifestyle Pointers

  • Incorporate potassium-rich foods (bananas, spinach, avocados) to balance sodium.
  • Limit high-stress triggers and implement daily cardiovascular aerobic walks.
  • Reduce sodium intake from processed foods.

Clinical Governance & Disclaimer

Optimal blood pressure is below 120/80 mmHg. Consistent readings above 140/90 mmHg should be monitored and evaluated by a clinician or GP.
