World Hypertension Day 2019: Yoga asanas to help manage high blood pressure

Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure the heart uses to pump the blood which circulates in the body. Medically, it is defined as the pressure of the blood on the walls of your arteries as the heart pumps it around the body. Depending on a person’s activities, it is natural for blood pressure to go up and down in order to adjust to the heart’s needs.
On World Hypertension Day, which is celebrated on May 17 every year to create awareness about the importance of monitoring BP and knowing about its natural levels, grandmaster Akshar shares a few yoga asanas which will help keep your blood pressure under control.
