High blood pressure is a medical condition whereby, a person's a heart pumps blood, using excessive force. The blood flows through the arteries at a higher than normal  pressure. This increased pressure, makes the heart work harder
than required thereby, making the heart become weak.

If this condition is left unattended to, it could lead to serious complications such  heart attack, kidney disease, stroke or even death.

There are so many people, who are hypertensive and are unaware of it, because high blood pressure  does not really have its symptoms, that is why it is popularly called the 'silent killer'.
However, when a person continuously feel severe headaches, weakness or  low/ shortness of breath, it is advised to seek  medical help.

High blood pressure also known as hypertension, could be hereditary, as a result of lifestyle, pregnancy in women or medication.

Even though there are medications, which have been proven to help manage hypertension effectively, there are some fruits which are also effective in helping to fight high blood pressure.

Most of the everyday fruits we see around, contain disease fighting nutrients and are helpful in fighting medical conditions such as high blood pressure. However, these fruits do not in any way replace your medication or doctors' advice.
