Hypertension is estimated to affect 1.28 billion people aged 30–79 years worldwide, and it has become the leading preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, killing approximately 10 million people each year.

This is scary because almost half of the people who are suffering from hypertension (46 percent) are unaware of it since it may have no warning signs or symptoms. As a result, less than half of adults (42%) with hypertension are diagnosed and treated.

But you know what’s even scarier? Only 1 in 5 adults with high blood pressure has it under control.

People with hypertension spend almost $2,000 on healthcare costs each year compared to those without high blood pressure.

High blood pressure is a serious health risk. It can lead to some of the deadliest diseases, such as heart attack, stroke, dementia, and kidney failure.

It turns out, however, that managing your blood pressure has a lot more to do with lifestyle changes than medications. If you don’t make lifestyle changes, don’t bother taking blood pressure medications, because they won’t work effectively.
