Most hypertensive sufferers suffer from primary hypertension which is not
known to cause. Several factors can increase a person's risk of suffering from
hypertension, including:
Age. As we get older, the risk of someone suffering from hypertension
increases. Hypertension in men generally occurs at the age of 45 years, whereas
in women it usually occurs above the age of 65 years.
Descent. Vulnerable hypertension occurs in people from families who have
high blood pressure
Obesity. Increasing body weight results in increased nutrition and oxygen
flowing into cells through blood vessels. This results in increased pressure in
the blood vessels and heart.
Eating too much salt or consuming too little food containing potassium.
This can result in high sodium in the blood, so the fluid is retained and
increases the pressure in the blood vessels.
Lack of physical activity and exercise. This condition can lead to
increased heart rate, so the heart must work harder to pump blood. Lack of
activity and exercise can also lead to increased body weight, which is a risk
factor for hypertension.
Smoke. Chemicals in cigarettes can make blood vessels narrow, which
results in increased pressure in blood vessels and the heart.
You can prevent hypertension in the following ways:
Maintain ideal body weight. Excess weight can make someone more at risk
of developing hypertension.
Exercise regularly. A person who is actively exercising will be more
protected from the risk of developing hypertension. Do brisk walking or cycling
2-3 hours every week.
Eat foods that are low in fat and rich in fiber. For example, bread from
whole grains, brown rice, and fruits and vegetables.
Reduce salt. Limit in food, not more than one teaspoon.
Reduce alcohol consumption. Eating more than the recommended dose of
alcohol can increase the risk of hypertension.
Quit smoking. Although smoking does not cause hypertension directly, but
cigarettes can make arteries narrow, thereby increasing the risk of heart
attack and stroke.
Consume caffeine as recommended. Drinking more than four cups of coffee a
day can increase the risk of hypertension.
