High blood pressure (hypertension) is one of the most common health problems in Nigeria—and one of the most silent killers. Millions live with it unknowingly until it causes a stroke, heart attack, or kidney damage. The good news? Hypertension can be managed effectively with the right lifestyle choices and medical guidance.

What Causes High Blood Pressure?

Common causes include:

  • Unhealthy diet (too much salt, processed food)

  • Lack of exercise

  • Obesity

  • Stress

  • Genetics and aging

  • Excessive alcohol or smoking

Recognizing the Silent Threat

Most people with hypertension feel fine until complications arise. That’s why routine blood pressure checks at Tender Link Medical Services are vital. Regular monitoring helps you take control before it’s too late.

Lifestyle Changes That Work

  1. Eat Less Salt: Nigerians love salty and spicy food, but reducing salt helps lower blood pressure.

  2. Exercise Regularly: 30 minutes of walking, three to five times a week, can improve circulation and heart health.

  3. Manage Stress: Prayer, meditation, and rest all help calm your heart and mind.

  4. Avoid Alcohol & Smoking: Both constrict blood vessels and increase heart strain.

  5. Stay Hydrated: Water helps regulate your blood flow and kidney function.

Medication & Monitoring

If prescribed medication, take it consistently—don’t stop because you “feel fine.” Hypertension is a long-term condition requiring consistent management and regular checkups.
