Why So Many Nigerians Have High BP and Don’t Even Know It

(Friska Blood Pressure Tea Blog Series | Wellness Education)

In Nigeria today, stress has quietly become part of daily life. From the early-morning rush and unpredictable traffic, to the rising cost of living and constant hustle most of us live in a cycle that keeps our bodies on alert all day. We call it “being strong,” but what it really does is slowly wear us down.

Majorly, one of the clearest ways the body shows that pressure; is High Blood Pressure (Hypertension).


The Silent Visitor

High blood pressure doesn’t shout.
It doesn’t come with loud warning signs. Most people feel fine until something happens; a sudden headache, dizziness, fatigue, or a hospital test that changes everything.

That’s why health experts call it the silent killer. It creeps up quietly, damaging the heart, blood vessels, and kidneys without making a scene.

In Nigeria alone, it’s estimated that 1 in 3 adults lives with high blood pressure; and almost half of them don’t even know it.

What Causes It?

For most people, it’s not just one thing.
It’s a mix of stress, poor diet, lack of rest, too much salt, processed foods, and inactivity.

Here’s what’s even more interesting: the body has a built-in way of maintaining balance — if we support it naturally.

That’s where the Friska philosophy begins.

Nature’s Gentle Balance

At Friska, we believe that wellness shouldn’t be forced, it should be nurtured.

That’s why Friska Blood Pressure Tea is carefully blended with Hibiscus, Moringa, Tumeric and Ginger; herbs long trusted in African homes for helping the body relax, improve circulation, and maintain a healthy rhythm.

  • Hibiscus: Helps support blood vessel flexibility.
  • Moringa: Nourishes with natural minerals and antioxidants.
  • Tumeric: Helps calm the mind and ease tension.
  • Ginger: Supports heart vitality and energy.

Together, they help your body find balance; naturally, gently and consistently.

The New Definition of Strength

In our culture, we often say, “man must be strong.”
But true strength isn’t ignoring your health; it’s taking control of it.

Drinking two cups of Friska Blood Pressure Tea daily. One in the morning and one at night; while reducing salt, managing stress, and resting well, can make a difference over time.

It’s not a magic fix. It’s a daily rhythm that helps your body do what it was designed to do which is to stay balanced.

Start making small changes today.

Drink water. Move more. Rest often; and add Friska Blood Pressure Tea to your routine. Your heart will thank you, Because at the end of the day, wellness isn’t a destination; it’s a lifestyle.
