Causes of high blood pressure

With the continuous development of modern science and technology, people's living standards have also been greatly improved. However, the incidence of some diseases of affluence that come with it is also increasing. Some people may not understand what diseases of affluence are. In fact, the diseases of affluence we are talking about mainly refer to diseases caused by a wealthy life, good food, overnutrition and reduced activity, such as constipation, obesity, high blood pressure and so on.

In daily life, we like to associate obesity with high blood pressure. In fact, this statement is not wrong, but it is not comprehensive. There are many reasons for high blood pressure, and obesity is one of them. Below, let us take a detailed look at the causes of high blood pressure.

1. Obesity is an important risk factor for hypertension. Being too fat will cause a certain amount of squeezing on the blood vessels. When the pipes are squeezed, the power source needs to increase the power to make the original circulation possible. As the power of the power source increases, the pressure in the pipe will also increase accordingly, forming high pressure.

2. High pressure caused by drying up of blood. It is recommended to drink water scientifically because the hardness of water is closely related to the occurrence of hypertension. Hard water contains more calcium and magnesium ions, which are important regulatory substances involved in the contractile and diastolic functions of vascular smooth muscle cells. If they are lacking, blood vessels can easily spasm, eventually leading to high blood pressure. Therefore, patients with hypertension should try to drink hard water, such as spring water, deep well water, natural mineral water, etc.

3. Caused by cerebrovascular disease. Attention should be paid to strengthening physical strength and physical exercise. Physical exercise is beneficial to improving blood circulation, promoting the consumption of lipids, reducing the deposition of lipids in blood vessels, increasing the activity of plasmin and reducing weight. Therefore, you should stick to housework and physical exercise within your ability. For those with intellectual disabilities, mental disorders and physical mobility difficulties, more thorough care should be provided to prevent accidents.

4. Caused by kidney disease. Such as congenital renal hypoplasia, congenital urinary tract malformation, renal artery stenosis, latent nephritis, pyelonephritis, etc., are also often accompanied by high blood pressure. Generally, the early symptoms of patients are mild, mainly manifested by developmental delay, pale complexion, weight loss, etc. As the disease progresses, severe renal hypertension may occur. In addition, acute and chronic glomerulonephritis often presents with symptoms of hypertension.

5. Congenital and acquired defects in the heart

6. People who consume a lot of salt have a high incidence of hypertension. It is recommended not to eat high-salt and greasy foods, tobacco and alcohol. Food should be light, easily digestible and contain high-water content vegetables. People with high blood pressure must pay attention to low salt intake and eat more fruits, such as persimmons, apples, walnuts, etc., and high-fiber foods. Also eat some coarse grains and drink tea often.

7. Mental stress is a major factor causing high blood pressure. Nowadays, most of us middle-aged people are the backbone of the unit, and the young people also have heavy responsibilities on their shoulders. In addition, many things happen in life, which will create a kind of mental pressure on the middle-aged and young people. Modern people are under increasing pressure, and mental stress is actually a very important cause of high blood pressure.

8. Calcium deficiency in the human body can also cause high blood pressure. Insufficient calcium in the diet can cause high blood pressure. Therefore, paying attention to the supply and absorption of calcium in the diet as early as possible is beneficial for the prevention and treatment of hypertension. Foods rich in calcium include soybeans and soy products, milk and dairy products, fish, shrimp, crab, eggs, fungus, seaweed, and snow vegetable, etc. We should pay attention to their appropriate intake in daily life.

The above are the causes of high blood pressure. We can see that there are many causes of high blood pressure. Hypertension is one of the serious diseases that threaten our health, so we need to prevent the occurrence of hypertension. We should eat more vegetarian food, exercise more, and drink more water to make our bodies healthier and healthier.
