DESCRIPTION
It is widely recognized that uncontrolled high blood pressure is a serious health hazard. Yet, inspite of this knowledge, it is often ignored, or worse, misunderstood.
At the heart of high blood pressure is a vicious circle: high blood pressure is a precursor of many health problems, and is in turn, produced by certain diseases.
In this easy-to-understand book, Dr. Krishan Gupta explains how blood pressure is regulated by our body, why it sometimes goes out of control and what to do to maintain a healthy blood pressure. Within these pages you will find practical, everyday advice to manage blood pressure better, and to help yourself or your loved ones to lead a normal active life.
