Knowing your blood pressure trend can help you tell whether
your body is in good condition or not. Human blood pressure
naturally increases after reaching middle age. This symptom is a
result of continuous aging of blood vessels. Further causes
include obesity, lack of exercise, and cholesterol (LDL) adhering
to the blood vessels. Rising of blood pressure accelerates
hardening of the arteries, and the body becomes more
susceptible to apoplexy and coronary infarction. The World

guideline of blood pressure range:

Grade 3 Hypertension ("too high")
