Blood pressure tends to rise as a person ages due to reduced elasticity of our blood vessels which happens over the years as we get older.

The reduced elasticity of our blood vessels can cause clogged arteries, which can lead to serious health problems such as strokes and heart attacks.

That's why it's important to keep your blood pressure in check and eat a proper diet and get plenty of exercise and stay active to help lower your blood pressure.

You can also make a tonic of Apple Cider Vinegar, Organic Honey, Lemon Juice and warm water and drink a few glasses of that per day which has shown to help lower a persons blood pressure naturally.
