High blood pressure (hypertension) affects approximately 1 in 4 American adults. It occurs when the force of blood against the artery wall is too high; which may eventually lead to health problems such as heart disease or stroke. Often, individuals have high blood pressure for many years without symptoms. Fortunately, hypertension can be easily detected and treated. Together, you and your physician can determine the best way to control your hypertension. Along with diet and exercise, there are a number of vitamins, minerals, and supplements that are beneficial in helping to lower blood pressure.
