High blood pressure, or hypertension, is almost always the underlying cause of our heart problems because it unleashes a series of events with very serious consequences. Just to give you an idea what hypertension can cause:

1. High blood pressure damages the arteries
2. Damaged arteries lead to the formation of plaque
3. The formation of plaque promotes clogged arteries
4. Clogged arteries cause heart attacks and strokes.

One of the main causes of high blood pressure is an imbalance in our body cells between sodium and potassium. This video explains the most common causes of this imbalance and how to remedy them.
