Nutrition and diet are the basis of a healthy lifestyle. We provide our body and immune system with the nutrients it needs to protect us by fighting against all kinds of illnesses through the food we eat. But even beyond the direct impact of good nutrition, our diet and lifestyles contribute to our blood pressure.
High blood pressure (HBP) is a medical condition that affects nearly half of American adults. This condition is also called hypertension, marked by the high rate of pressure at which blood flows through the veins.
