Cut Your Risk of Dying from Heart Attack or Stroke by Up to 75%
High blood pressure kills thousands of people every year. Also known as hypertension, high blood pressure is a precursor for stroke, heart attack, heart failure and kidney disease - all of which can be fatal.
According to the American Heart Association, approximately one out of every three people have hypertension - and about a third of those people don't know it because the symptoms aren't obvious.
AHA statistics reveal that if you have hypertension, you are 3 times more likely to die of a heart attack, 4 times more likely to die of a stroke, 2-3 times more likely to develop heart failure and 3 times more likely to develop kidney failure than someone without hypertension.
Hypertension is a prolonged increase of blood pressure in the arteries as a result of constricted blood flow.
Most often this constriction occurs as an inflammatory response to excess levels of cholesterol or sodium in the blood or some other condition that the body feels is a threat to your health. This inflammatory response increases chances for clotting in the artery, which very often leads to heart attack or stroke. In fact, national and global health agencies have determined that high blood pressure is the number one controllable risk factor for stroke.
Fast food, television, 8 to 10-hour days behind desks and computers, modern conveniences and stress of every sort all contribute to hypertension. The major risk factors for hypertension are excess consumption of cholesterol and salt, lack of physical exercise and high levels of ongoing stress.
Fortunately, just as lifestyle can increase your risk for hypertension, changes to your lifestyle can drastically reduce your risk and reverse high blood pressure. Understanding why you have high blood pressure and how to make changes that will improve your condition is the best thing you can do for your hypertension.
