Taking medicines every day is the fate of many hypertension patients. But that could soon come to an end if you take the following seven tips to heart.
Almost every third German suffers from high blood pressure – according to a study by the Robert Koch Institute. There is no one reason for this, usually it is a mixture of genetic predisposition and an unhealthy lifestyle that causes blood pressure to rise – with serious consequences such as heart attack and stroke.

Who every day rushing through the day, indulging in fast food too often and not exercising, risks becoming hypertensive patient. In order to prevent (and also lower elevated values) sensibly, the high pressure league advises to change an unhealthy lifestyle.
