Blood pressure or the pressure against the walls of the arteries is measured as systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts to pump blood through the arterties while diastolic pressure is when the heart muscles relax. Pressure is created both by the heart pumping blood into the arteries and by the arteries resisting the flow of blood.
High blood pressure or hypertension generally carries no visible symptoms but causes damage to blood vessels in turn increasing the risk of heart disease, heart attacks and stroke. Many people have high blood pressure without realizing it. Diabetic patients are at an increased risk of having high blood pressure.
Recommended Blood Pressure for non-diabetic patients:
Systolic pressure: less than 130mg
Diastolic pressure: less than 80mg
For diabetic patients:
Systolic pressure: less than 140mg
Diastolic pressure: less than 85mg
Pure herbs such as Arjuna and Ashwagandha are well known for lowering and controlling blood pressure and hypertension
