Manage hypertension: Reduce high blood pressure, boost heart health with these 8 foods in your daily diet

May 1, 2025

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is often referred to as a “silent killer” because its symptoms are subtle yet its effects can be life-threatening. Factors such as genetics, an unhealthy diet, a lack of exercise, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking can all contribute to hypertension. In some cases, underlying health conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, or sleep apnoea also play a role. Left unmanaged, high blood pressure can lead to serious complications, including heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage.
