- factors relating to emotional tension and stress
Among the three, the most harmful is the third cause, emotional tension.
Genetic Causes:
These factors play an important role in the cause of primary hypertension.
Researchers and scientists are not currently sure which genes are actually responsible for the development of hypertension.
The unique characteristics of each one of us are determined by our genes and chromosome's production of proteins.
Only reasons affecting the renin-angiotensin-andosterone system have been researched on. This system is the one responsible for helping the body regulate its blood pressure, basically by controlling the balance of salt, and the state of elasticity within the arteries.
Genetic factors contribute to more than 30% of all cases of primary hypertension.
What this means is that despite a healthy nutrition and fitness plan, those with the high blood pressure genes in their system already may still have to deal with the disease. (This can however been dealt with. I'll explain how later in this article.)
For example, for people of African heritage in the United States, high blood pressure or hypertension seems to be common among them.
Hypertension cases are low for Asian Americans, on the other hand. And when two hypertensive parents have kids, these kids have a tendency to also get the condition.
It is not normal for unusual genetic disorders to be the cause of primary hypertension, as these cases normally involve secondary hypertension instead.
Dietary Factors:
Dietary reasons can also be the cause of hypertension, which includes amount of alcohol we drink, amount of caffeine we take, and amount of food we eat.
Being overweight in general can have a large impact on whether or not you develop hypertension, especially when you already have the genetics that lead to the disorder.
Eating the wrong foods can also cause your blood pressure to rise, regardless of your weight.
Foods that are rich in cholesterol, Tran saturated fats and an excess of salt are good examples of these bad foods.
Being overweight is one of the largest "environmental" causes for hypertension.
Drinking too much caffeine or too much coffee can also lead to issues stemming from hypertension development if you do not seriously limit the intake of these beverages. In moderation, both are okay.
Emotional Tension and Stress:
If you get involved with too many things at work, at home or with social obligations, you may find yourself with a lot of unnecessary stress.
This stress will stick with you a lot longer than you realize, and can cause many health problems including hypertension.
Worrying too much is another cause for hypertension, as anxiety generally leads to a spike in the blood pressure.
If you worry too much, or are stressed our, you can have chronic hypertension.
The major contributing factor for hypertension is emotional tension and stress, and even if there are no hereditary or dietary factors, because of the level of stress that you might be in, you can develop chronic hypertension.
My natural blood pressure exercise program has three exercises that not only eliminates the emotional tension and stress related causes of hypertension, but also removes the dietary and hereditary related hypertension causes as well.
