About 85 million Americans have high blood pressure, a condition where the blood flowing through your blood vessels is consistently too high. Anyone, including children, can develop high blood pressure. It greatly increases the risk of heart disease and stroke, the first and third leading causes of death in the United States, the Center for Disease Control reported. How do you know if you have high blood pressure? A doctor will run lab tests to help conclude whether or not the blood pressure issue is consistent or not. Based on the results of your tests, a doctor will identify whether or not the condition warrants medication, a lifestyle adjustment or maybe both. Clyde Yancy, MD, Chief of Cardiology at the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute in Chicago explained that most people will likely have the condition. The best data demonstrates that hypertension is almost unavoidable as we age, he told the Huffington Post. "Once we reach age 55, we have a 90 percent chance of becoming hypertensive." That is not exactly great news. However, you can make changes in your lifestyle that could help you. Here are 6 ways you can address high blood pressure.

Prayer is powerful and will also make you feel good to vent about current struggles. Sometimes we just need to be heard and praying can help this process. Not only this, but prayer will also make you a calmer person and it will get your mind off your troubles. There is no magic words or a particular flow, just communicate from your heart. Before you hit the grind of the morning, try to be still. Starting your day this way will set the tone. Author Rebecca Barlow Jordan prescribed a simple prayer: "I can't handle these times alone, Lord. Will you speak peace and calm my storms, or hold my hand while we walk through them together? Will you bring the reassuring wisdom of those who have come through similar times into my life? Thank you, Lord. I'm trusting you. In the name of the One who makes the wind and the waves stand still, Amen."

High blood pressure is a serious matter. Work on changing your lifestyle and incorporating things like prayer, yoga to lower stress and eating better to improve your overall health. Meanwhile, it will keep your heart happy.
