We already know that there are trillions of microorganisms inside or digestive tract. Together they are known as Gut microbiota. What we eat, i.e., the type of food we eat can change the composition of these microorganisms. It can either increase the number of beneficial microorganisms inside our digestive tract or reduce their number, allowing the growth of bad/harmful microorganisms. Prebiotics are complex carbohydrates. They resist digestion and or absorption within our digestive tract. They act as a source of food for the good/beneficial microorganisms (Good bacteria). These beneficial microbes break down prebiotics to use them as a source of food and energy for their growth. It increases the number of beneficial bacteria inside our digestive tract, which has multiple benefits on our overall health.

Hypertension means High blood pressure. Our tissues and organs need oxygen and nutrition to survive. It is provided by the blood flowing through the circulatory system of our body. It includes Heart, Blood vessels, etc. When the heart beats, it creates pressure that pushes blood through a blood vessels network, including arteries, veins and capillaries. While flowing through these blood vessels, blood exerts the pressure on their walls, measured as blood pressure. This pressure (blood pressure) results from two forces: The first force (systolic pressure) occurs when the heart pumps out the blood into the arteries that are part of the circulatory system. The second force (diastolic pressure) is created when the heart rests between heartbeats. That is why blood pressure measurement always has to values one is upper (Systolic) & one is lower (Diastolic).
