Blood Pressure Basics


Blood pressure’s a big deal for your heart—high numbers strain it, raising risks. NICE says aim for 120/80 mmHg post-heart event; anything over 140/90 needs attention. Exercise is your first weapon: 30 minutes of walking or cycling most days can drop it 5-8 points. Cut salt—skip processed snacks for fresh veggies—and watch portions. Meds like ACE inhibitors might join the fight, easing artery tension. Check it weekly (home monitors work great); stress or coffee can spike it, so measure calm. Studies show every 10-point drop slashes heart risk by 20%. Pair with deep breaths or a stretch—your heart’s chilling out already!
