High blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of arteries. Blood pressure rises and falls during the day. When the pressure stays elevated over time, it is called high blood pressure. HBP is dangerous because it makes the heart work too hard.  How can you prevent or control HBP?  Maintain a healthy weight, be physically active,  follow a healthy eating plan, and drink alcoholic beverages in moderation.  So train not to just look  good, but also for longevity.
