What Is HYPERTENSION?
Hypertension, also known as “High Blood Pressure” (HBP), is a medical condition where one has a blood pressure that is higher than normal. Although our blood pressure does change throughout the day depending on what we are doing, those with hypertension have blood pressures that are consistently above normal ranges.
Why is hypertension so dangerous?
Hypertension should be something that we are concerned about because it has been established as a major risk factor for stroke, heart disease, and renal dysfunction. Research shows that hypertension plays a central role in the development of these diseases, so if one has high blood pressure, it can be an early warning sign of what is to come if lifestyle changes are not made.
What are some early signs that you may have hypertension?
It is important to know the early signs of hypertension so that you can get ahead of it before it gets out of control. For example, if you are constantly feeling dizzy or lightheaded, this could be a sign that your blood pressure is getting too high.
How do you prevent Hypertension?
1) Detoxification & Rejuvenation Programme (DRP)
The DRP is a great way to kick start your lifestyle changes and acts as an “overhaul” for the entire body.

2) Low Sodium Diet with a Daily Intake of Apple Cider Vinegar, Honey, and K-Salt
One of the most common causes of hypertension is the high sodium intake in most of our diets. Sodium is found in salt and all savoury seasonings. Try reducing your salt intake in the foods you eat.
3) Niacin (Vitamin B3)
One of the 8 water-soluble vitamins from the vitamin B family, niacin is a key nutrient for better cardiovascular health.

4) Stress Management and Exercise
Chronic stress is one of the risk factors for hypertension, while exercise can help to lower blood pressure and improve heart health and strength. The good news is that regular exercise helps with stress management as well, so these two points can be tackled at the same time!
