There is a clear link between high blood pressure and an increased risk of heart disease, in particular having a heart attack or stroke.
Family history, salty foods, smoking, alcohol, being overweight, and not enough exercise all increase your chances of developing high blood pressure.

The good news? Small lifestyle changes make a big difference to your heart health. ๐ชโค๏ธ
