Hypertension has no obvious symptoms, but it is likely to cause major chronic diseases such as heart attack (myocardial infarction), stroke, diabetes or kidney disease. High blood pressure is related to a high-salt, high-oil, high-calorie diet. There is a 7-day dietary intervention that could be effective to improve your blood pressure.
According to WHO, more than 1 billion people worldwide—more than one in four men and one in five women—have high blood pressure. The number of people aged 30 to 79 with hypertension has increased from 650 million to 1.28 billion over the past 30 years.
