    heart attack, and stroke.
    How discovered High blood pressure?

    High blood pressure was already a serious health risk in the times of the
    Pharaohs, as evidenced by the results of research conducted on Egyptian
    mummies.
    Only in 1628 William Harley, a professor at the Royal School of Medicine in
    London, discovered that the heart is a pump that circulates blood in a
    closed system of blood vessels.These were the beginnings.In 1733,
    Stephen Hales, English clergyman and amateur researcher,
    for the first time in the world, he measured blood pressure by inserting the
    end of a 3-meter-long glass tube vertically into a mare's straight carotid
    artery. Blood filled the tube to a height of 2.5 m, which is 190 mmHg after
    conversion. Ten direct blood pressure measurements, an arterial incision,
    administration is still in exceptional cases always in the hospital.
    How to treat?
    In the treatment of High blood pressure diffrent
    antihypertensive drugs are used.
    It is very important to change your lifestyle before
    pharmacological therapy, above all, increasing
    physical activity, quitting smoking, weight loss (if
    overweight or obese), limiting salt and alcohol
    consumption, introducing a Mediterranean diet.
    What are the complications of high blood
    pressure?
    • Development of atherosclerosis in the arterial
    vessels of the heart, neck, kidneys and lower limbs;
    • Myocardial infarction
    • Varying degrees of renal failure
    • Stroke
    How to prevent high blood pressure?
    • The most effective method of avoiding or delaying
    the development of hypertension is lifestyle
    modification, especially obesity prevention, proper
    diet and increasing physical activity.
    Diet for high blood pressure?

    • In addition to avoiding salt and animal fats in your


    diet, proper meal proportions are extremely
    important - separate your food into 3 main meals
    and 1-2 smaller snacks. Breakfast should be eaten
    a maximum of 1.5 hour after waking up, and dinner
    2-3 hours before going to bed. Meals should be
    eaten at regular intervals - every 3-4 hours.
