#1 NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY in HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE (HYPERTENSION) #shorts #bloodpressure

Hypertension is the elevation of systolic (greater than 120mmHg) and diastolic (greater than 80mmHg)
The most common primary diagnosis in the United States. It affects approximately 86 million adults (≥18 years) in the United States and is a major risk factor for stroke, infarction, vascular disease, and chronic kidney disease.
Primary or essential hypertension accounts for 85-90% of adult cases, and secondary hypertension accounts for 2-10% of adult cases.

Potassium can reduce the effects of sodium. Too much sodium has been shown to increase blood pressure. The more potassium you eat, the more sodium you lose through urine. Potassium also helps to ease tension in your blood vessel walls, which also helps lower blood pressure.
Potassium sources include
• Leafy green vegetables
• Fruits eg Cantaloupe, Durian, Guava, Jackfruit, Kiwifruit and also Dried fruits
• Electrolyte enhanced powder is a great source.
