Three Causes of Hypertension

By: Christian Goodman

There are three main reasons for hypertension...

- genetic causes

- dietary factors

- reasons relating to emotional tension and stress

Among the three, the most harmful is the third cause, emotional tension.

Genetic Reasons:

These reasons play a major 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.

The research that has been conducted in this field already has been primarily focused on factors affecting the renin-angiotensin-andosterone system which is responsible for helping the body regulate its blood pressure, primarily by controlling the balance of salt, and the state of elasticity within the arteries.

More than 30% of all cases involving primary hypertension can be credited to genetic factors.

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.

The lowest numbers of hypertension tend to relate to Asian Americans. And people who have been born to two hypertensive parents have a tendency to also develop 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 Reasons:

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.

In general, hypertension is likely to develop when you are overweight, especially if you also have the genetics that cause the disorder.

Regardless of whether you are overweight or not, eating the wrong foods can cause a steep increase in your blood pressure.

Foods high in cholesterol, tran saturated fats and an excess of salt are examples of bad foods.

One of the major "environmental" causes for hypertension is being overweight.

Too much caffeine or coffee in your body can also lead to issues coming from hypertension development if you do not moderate the intake of these beverages. Both are good in moderation.

Emotional Stress and Tension:

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.

These unwanted stress will stay with you longer than you realize, and can lead to hypertension, among other health problems.

Anxiety is another major cause for hypertension, as it normally leads to a spike in our blood pressure.

If you worry too much, or are stressed our, you can have chronic hypertension.

Emotional tension and stress is the more prevalent contributing factor for hypertension, and even if there are no hereditary or dietary causes, you can still develop chronic problems with hypertension simply because of your level of emotional tension and stress.

My natural blood pressure exercise program contains three exercises that eliminate stress and tension that relates to hypertension, and dietary and hereditary related hypertension problems as well.
