Blood pressure is undeniably one of the most critical health parameters that everyone should monitor regularly. In today`s fast-paced world, the upward trend in high blood pressure cases across all age groups is a cause for serious concern. While some factors contributing to high blood pressure are beyond our control, such as genetics, there are many elements that we can manage effectively.
