When it comes to high blood pressure – or hypertension – there are many factors that come into play: Diet, weight, smoking and alcohol use can all be attributed to your rising blood pressure.

In fact, lack of sleep is also a factor. Getting a good night’s rest not only determines your energy level the next day, but plays a large role in hypertension.

Blood pressure is the amount of blood pumped from your heart against blood vessels. This process is vital for blood flow, as well as carrying oxygen and nutrients. Hypertension refers to an excessive amount of blood flow being pushed from the heart.
