So, anyone that doesn’t fit that image feels pretty safe. But unfortunately, hypertension can occur in anyone, even in children.<br> In this week’s show, I discuss what blood pressure is, why you should care what yours is and what you can do to prevent or combat high blood pressure.<br> <br> Some references I used while researching this show are The New Wellness Encyclopedia, <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/high-blood-pressure/DS00100">Mayo Clinic</a> and <a href="http://www.americanheart.org">American Heart Association</a>.<br> This week, I was interviewed by iProng magazine.
