4 Causes That Lead to High Blood Pressure | Healthy Life Vision

Gudrun Howell · August 7, 2016 ·

What causes high blood pressure? First thing that comes to mind is a lot of salt, a lot of stress and a lot of alcohol. But you are not exactly right. There are a number of obvious reasons for high blood pressure, a condition found in every third person.

Studies show that hypertension is almost inevitable with age, says Clyde Jens, Head of the Cardiology Institute Bloom in Chicago.

He adds that when you get to 55 years of age, you have 90 percent chance of becoming hypertensive, respectively, with high blood pressure.

This does not mean that there is nothing you can do about it. The first step is to change the way of life, to lose weight, to exercise, to change your diet etc. Another thing that can help is to know how we got at this situation and take a look at the following factors.

1) BPA (Bisphenol A – Carbon-based synthetic ingredient)

This is a chemical used in the production of plastic bottles and cans. Studies have shown that exposure to this chemical is linked to heart disease and high blood pressure.

Reduce the use of products containing this chemical. It is easy to come by plastics in products of this type of packaging. Do not eat canned food. Instead of plastic, use porcelain, glass or stainless steel, when serving hot food or liquid. Avoid food for microwave oven which is in plastic containers.

2) SUGAR

Too sweet products are not only bad for your waist, but also the blood pressure. In fact, sugar can harm the health of the heart more than salt. A recent study recommended guidelines for treating high blood pressure, which focus on reducing sugar. They blame mostly the fructose; sugar is added to most processed foods and beverages.

American Heart Organization recommended that the daily dose of sugar for women does not exceed six spoons, and nine for men. Only one soda contains nine teaspoons of sugar!

3) Snoring

It seems that this seemingly harmless disorder usually goes without diagnosis and leads to snoring and restless sleep. Experts say that when your breathing is disturbed, the level of oxygen in the body decreases. The brain sends signals through the nervous system to increase the level of oxygen in the brain and heart, increasing the blood pressure.

Changes in lifestyle, such as weight loss or surgery to resolve the problem of snoring can greatly help your sleep and blood pressure.

4) Solitude

Time spent with friends is associated with better health and life. Conversely, isolation is associated with stress as well as with high blood pressure. A five-year study by the University of Chicago showed a direct correlation between loneliness and high blood pressure in people who have more than fifty years.

– When you are close to friends and have social assistance, you feel better and more relaxed, says the expert of friendship, S. Levin, a professor of psychiatry at the School of Medicine in New York.
