About Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the vessels. Blood pressure is determined by the heart’s output and resistance to blood flow in the vessels. If either of these factors changes and there are no compensating changes, blood pressure will change.Blood pressure is a good measure of the health of a person's heart and blood vessels. Higher than normal blood pressure is called hypertension.

Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent diseases such as heart and cardiovascular disease. It can also fight type 2 diabetes, depression, and obesity. Exercise is just not for the body, it is for the mind also. It can even help change a person’s body image.
