Hypertension

Hypertension is when the pressure inside our bodies gets too high. Our bodies have a special system to keep the pressure at the right level. Sometimes, things like stress, not eating healthy food, or not exercising can make the pressure go up too much. If we don’t take care of our bodies by eating well and moving our bodies, it can be bad for our hearts and other important parts. That’s why it’s important to eat our fruits and vegetables, play and exercise, and listen to our bodies when they tell us to rest.
