While there is no exact cause of hypertension (or so the doctors say), several lifestyle factors have been found to raise blood pressure. In the tradition of making Here's my very own Top Ten Ways to Get Hypertension.
10.) Getting stressed out. Taking on much more than you can handle at work can give you a lot of unnecessary stress that sticks with you long after you leave the office. Stress has been found to cause several ailments, hypertension among them.
Take it easy and work at your own pace, tackling the harder chunks of work earlier on in the day.
9.) Worrying too much. This causes anxiety which has been proven to raise blood pressure. Making this a habit can cause as much damage as chronic hypertension, some experts say.
Things that you can do to relax include meditation, yoga, and massage.
8.) Eating the wrong things. Unhealthy food can cause your blood pressure to rise, even though you are not overweight or you exercise regularly.
Unhealthy food includes cholesterol, trans fat, and salt. The new food guide pyramid can start you off to eating right, and putting your blood pressure back on track.
7.) Lack of exercise. We spend most of the day sitting down, at work, school, or at home. This can lead to obesity, and obesity can lead to hypertension.
Get up and walk the last few minutes to work, use the stairs instead of the elevator, and play a sport during the weekends.
6.) Being overweight. This is the primary reason for the previous two ways to get hypertension. Unhealthy foods and lack of exercise will force your heart to work double time to deal with all that extra weight.
Good eating habits and exercising habits should make you lose weight and lower your blood pressure.
5.) Too much caffeine. Many of us depend on coffee to keep us on track for the rest of the day. Caffeine has been found to cause a temporary rise in blood pressure, which becomes more sustained the more caffeine we take in one day.
Stick to two cups (24oz.) of caffeinated coffee a day, and you'll be fine.
4.) Binge drinking. Anxiety and stress tempt many of us to escape from reality with some alcohol. Binge drinking constricts blood vessels and can cause a 10% spike in your blood pressure. Sorry, but if you suffer from hypertension, you'll need to limit yourself to a glass of wine or a can of beer a day to stay on the safe side.
Of course, you can just forget the whole thing and just follow my suggestions in #1, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Now for the top three reasons:
3.) Smoking. Each stick you consume makes your blood pressure to increase by 5-10 mm Hg. Also, the nicotine decreases the amount of oxygen in the blood, making your heart work double time to keep the body's cells healthy.
Stopping this habit will give you health benefits within minutes, instantly.
2.) Not getting enough sleep. Less than six hours of sleep per day will make you more likely to suffer from hypertension. Getting enough sleep will keep you from getting high blood pressure.
If you don't get enough rest, the heart works harder to compensate for the lower energy levels. If you snooze for less than six hours a day, see if you can take midday catnaps-these have been found to lower the risk of heart disease.
And the number one cause for hypertension?
1.) Not getting my hypertension program. My clients have tried to do all the tips I've given to avoid the first nine items, but only when they used my program did they lower their blood pressure to ideal levels-and stayed there.
