Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessels. Blood pressure is usually expressed in terms of the systolic (maximum) pressure over diastolic (minimum) pressure and is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg. It will be relieving to hear that we have normal level but Read More …

What is Systolic Hypertension? Systolic hypertension is defined as an elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP). If the systolic blood pressure is elevated (>140) with a normal (<90) diastolic blood pressure (DBP), it is called isolated systolic hypertension (ISH). Cause of Systolic Hypertension This type of high blood pressure is more common in older adults, especially older women. In fact, the 
The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet is a lifelong approach to help treat and cure high blood pressure. Yoga can reduce stress induced hypertension for example Adho Mukha Shvanasana.
