  3. Small changes, big impact for blood pressure

    What is blood pressure? Blood circulating through the body moves with a certain force - that's your blood pressure. This force can be affected by how strongly the heart is pumping and by the size of the vessels the blood is moving through. Blood moves through large arteries into smaller vessels called arterioles, which can expand and contract. When they expand, blood pressure goes down. When they contract, blood pressure goes up.

Maybe you need to exercise a little harder and eat a little less (or sleep a little longer and stress a little less).&#182; As you read, bear in mind: The evidence for blood pressure-lowering is stronger for some lifestyle measures than others.
