High blood pressure
The heart pumps blood through the arteries to various parts of the body. For a gentle flow of blood, a certain amount of pressure is exerted by the blood in the arterial walls. The normal pressure is 120/80 mm Hg. When the pressure goes above this limit and stays high for a long period of time, it is called high blood pressure or hypertension.

Food groups to consume in hypertension:
1. Calcium: It contracts and dilates the heart muscle and makes blood
smoother flow
Foods to eat: Milk, tofu and yogurt
2. Potassium: balances excess water in the body and lowers blood
