ZOE Science & Nutrition · Most replayed moment: Blood pressure: the silent risk you shouldn’t ignore | Prof Tim Spector · 30 Jun 2026 podcast

So I think you have got to be very positive about this and not think about the past.

Think about the future and your future years.

And especially, you know, I've seen my mother have a stroke.

She had poorly controlled blood pressure.

And we all know people like that.

And it's such a preventable condition that we really all need to be taking much more care of our blood pressure.

I think that's correct, yes.

The data show that if your blood pressure is well controlled as opposed to poorly controlled, it can halve your risk of having a stroke.

You can never eliminate the chance completely because sometimes people have stroke without having high blood pressure, but you can dramatically improve the odds.

Absolutely, yes.

So lifestyle changes, as we've discussed many times, are important.

So if you're too sedentary, that's going to put your blood pressure up.

So try and do some exercise.

Sitting on your bum all the time.

Yeah, exactly.

Modern lifestyle, working at home, very bad for you.

Get out there, do some walking, do some exercise.

That's good for blood pressure.

Sleeping well is also related to blood pressure.

So sort out your sleep as much as you can.
