What is high BP?

When the blood pressure in the blood arteries becomes higher than normal, it is called high BP. Normal BP is 120/80 mmHg. If BP remains higher than this repeatedly, then caution is necessary.

To control blood pressure, reduce salt intake along with yoga. Stay away from fried and junk food. Get 7-8 hours of sleep daily and try to stay away from stress.

Ignoring high BP can be dangerous, but it can be controlled naturally by adopting right yoga and lifestyle. Yoga not only balances blood pressure but also keeps both body and mind healthy. Include yoga in your daily routine from today itself and move towards a healthy life.
