Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is when the blood flow through your blood vessels and arteries is too strong. Prolonged high blood pressure strains the heart, damages vessels and kidneys, and increases risk of a heart attack and stroke. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women; however, it can be controlled and even prevented with a healthy diet.
