• What is hypertension? Hypertension or high blood pressure is a condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is chronically elevated. With every heart beat, the heart pumps blood through the arteries to the rest of the body. Blood pressure is the force of blood that is pushing up against the walls of the blood vessels. If the pressure is too high, the heart has to work harder to pump, and this could lead to organ damage and several illnesses such as brain stroke, heart attack, stroke, heart failure, aneurysm, or renal failure. This is mainly caused due to elevated level of blood lipids (Cholesterol and triglycerides) • How fib ‘n’ sion FUNCTIONS? Fib n sion Lowers the blood cholesterol levels (below 200 mg/dl.) have been associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease. The body uses cholesterol in the production of bile acids some of which are excreted daily. The consumption of fiber binds to bile acids, suggesting that a high-fiber diet may result in an increased excretion of cholesterol.
