-
If you eat too much salt, blood pressure will increaseIncreased salt from dietSalt pulls extra water into blood vesselBlood pressure increase due to increased internal vessel pressure
-
WHAT IS HYPERTENSION?Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries.
-
BLOOD PRESSURE READINGSystolic: higher number; measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats (when the heart muscle contracts).Diastolic: bottom number; measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats (when the heart muscle is resting between beats and refilling with blood).
