Understanding Hypertension
Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a prevalent health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the force of the blood against the artery walls is consistently too high, which can lead to serious health complications if left untreated.
Causes of Hypertension
Genetics: A family history of high blood pressure can increase your risk.
Diet: High salt intake, excessive alcohol consumption, and a diet low in fruits and vegetables can contribute.
Physical Inactivity: A sedentary lifestyle can lead to weight gain and increased blood pressure.
