If there is one function in the body that needs to be maintained optimally and ensured it is monitored every now and then in our life, then it has to be our blood pressure. Maintaining a healthy blood pressure is vital because the higher levels of a BP becomes, the higher risk of health issues we are exposed to. All of our bodies vital organs such as heart and brain receive their share of oxygen and nutrients through the blood that flows in our body. The beating of a lively heart is what pushes the blood into our blood vessels allowing them to flow throughout our body and reach all our important organs. The blood vessels in our body will adjust and either become narrow or white in order to maintain healthy blood pressure levels.
