Runter mit dem Bluthochdruck

Without a healthy lifestyle, Dr. Jörn Klasen would likely suffer from high blood pressure like millions of Germans. However, the well-known TV doctor and nutrition expert knows: "There are many ways to take action against hypertension." These include exercising more, eating plenty of vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats, avoiding refined sugar, and reducing stress levels. It's best to take preventive measures. High blood pressure is one of the most common health issues in the modern world. In Germany, nearly one in two people is affected. The condition often goes undetected for a long time, but it is a silent risk factor for kidney diseases and cardiovascular problems, significantly increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke. Our psyche, influenced by stress, performance pressure, and constant overexertion, is closely linked to pulse and blood pressure. Increasingly, even young individuals of normal weight are affected.
