Further Explanation:

Heart is the most vital circulatory organ in the body. The pumping of blood in the body is done by the heart. There are several heart issues that occur due to different reasons of malfunctioning of the heart. Hypertension, heart diseases and stroke are few of these heart issues.

Heart disease means the ailment that influences the heart. Heart diseases incorporate vein ailments, for example, coronary artery disease; heart rhythm issues and heart attack. It is otherwise called cardiovascular illness. Cardiovascular disease is a condition that includes limited or blocked veins which can cause a coronary failure, chest pain, stroke, etc.

Hypertension: This condition happens when there is constant pressure of blood against the walls of the arteries leading to several heart problems. The blood pressure is measured by the thickness of the artery and the amount of blood that flows in it. If the amount of blood is high and thickness of the artery is less, the blood pressure tends to be higher. The high blood pressure can be asymptomatic for several years. The continued damage to the blood vessels leads to hypertension in later stages of life. Hypertension can increase the risk of stroke.

Stroke: is the condition when oxygen fails to reach the brain due to malfunction of heart as well as the related organs the weakening of arteries causes blood clots due to high blood pressure. This causes less blood to flow to the brain causing stroke.

All these heart related problems can be cured by having a good diet as well as good lifestyle. Good lifestyle may include:

1.Getting enough relaxation and rest

2.Avoiding alcohol and other forms of intoxication.

3.Having a healthy and balanced diet.
