Primary And Secondary Hypertension


Hypertension is a common condition, as is generally said that the hypertension experienced by one person among ten people. Hypertension was initially depend on genetic factors. On the way to adulthood, many influential environmental factors, such as dietary factors and psychological / stress.
Know the primary and secondary hypertension and to prevent
Food is an important determinant of blood pressure such as excess consumption of fatty foods, salt, due to alcohol consumption, and low potassium intake. Patients who come to doctors generally have severe, because it did not know he suffered from hypertension. So, it is very important blood pressure checked regularly.
14./90 blood pressure (systolic / diastolic) mm Hg or more, indicates that we have hypertension. A healthy blood pressure was 120/80 mm Hg. If the blood pressure of 120/80 mm Hg and 139/89 mm Hg, twice the risk of developing a hypertension. Hypertension or high blood pressure is one of the important health problems. Once hypertension was found in a lot of people of various ages.
The list of types of Hypertension mentioned in various sources includes:
Primary hypertension, there is no real cause but may be derived or associated with unhealthy lifestyle, fast-paced and easy it is irregular or hypertension that occur together with increasing age, stress, and heredity, commonly known as primary hypertension.
Usually middle-aged patients were aged (30-50 years). Ninety percent of people with hypertension in this category. Bad behavior, like smoking, lack of exercise, like salty foods and fast foods, eating excessive calories which contains a lot of salt, sweet, spicy, and obesity, contribute to the emergence of hypertension.
Secondary hypertension, patients with younger age (below 30 years), influenced by factors related to physical conditions, such as excess weight, impaired renal function, impaired hormonal balance, excess cholesterol, the pill and others.
Both types of hypertension above do not show obvious symptoms, but if the symptoms are not anticipated to be dangerous can cause hypertension with symptoms of chronic headaches. In general, hypertension is not dangerous, but if ignored and cause complications of hypertension prone to heart attacks, heart failure, even in a short time will cause a stroke.
In extreme high blood pressure can damage the inside of the small arteries, may cause blood clots. If this happens, it can cause a heart attack (if it occurs in the heart), blindness (if it occurs in the retina of the eye), kidney failure (if thrombosis occurs in the kidney), and stroke (when blood clots occur in the brain). Stroke can also occur due to rupture of blood vessels caused by hypertension resulting in bleeding in the brain.
It is important to limit fatty foods and increase foods high in fiber, especially fruits, vegetables, and vegetable foods. Flaxseed oil and food abundant potassium, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C and omega-3 is very good for people with hypertension.

Simple Ways to Prevent Hypertension


Changes in eating habits lead to a ready to eat meal that contains fat, protein, and high salt but low-fiber foods (dietary fiber), a consequence of the development of degenerative diseases (heart disease, diabetes mellitus, various cancers, osteoporosis, and hypertension. In general, someone said suffering from hypertension if the systolic blood pressure / diastolicexceeds 140/90 mmHg (normal 120/80 mm Hg).
Simple Ways to Prevent Hypertension or high blood pressure
High blood pressure should not be underestimated. People with hypertension are two times greater risk of cardiovascular disease, such as stroke and heart attack, than those without. The good news is, hypertension can be managed with healthy lifestyle. Some foods can help control high blood pressure, because it contains substances that can lower blood fat levels and make blood vessels relax. Salt intake is no more than 2.4 grams per day (sodium) or 6 grams per day (NaCl) and aerobic physical activity such as walking 30 minutes every day.
It is important to limit fatty foods and increase foods high in fiber, especially fruits, vegetables, and vegetable foods. Flaxseed oil and food abundant potassium, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C and omega-3 is very good for people with hypertension. Healthy lifestyles, such as diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and low in fat, can lower systolic and diastolic 15.9 points 8.7 points. Body weight is maintained in the range of 18.5 to 24.9 body mass index.
How to prevent high blood pressure (hypertension)
Blood pressure is the pressure experienced by the blood in the arteries when the heart pumps blood to all members of the human body. Blood pressure is created by taking two measurements and usually there are two numbers that will be referred by a physician. For example doctors call 140-90, it means it is 140/90 mmHg. The first number (140) showed upward pressure due to pulsation of the arteries when the heart or heart beat or beats, and is called the systolic pressure or pressure is often called upon. The second number (90) shows the pressure when your heart rest in between pumping, and is called diastolic pressure, or often also referred under pressure.
Research shows that as age increases a person, blood pressure will rise. After 35 years of age, blood pressure rises. Blood vessels thicken and increasingly rigid. You can not expect that your blood pressure when the young will be the same when you get older. But you can control to avoid over the limit of normal.
For patients with hypertension, treatment is useful to reduce morbidity and mortality due and kidney. With drug therapy include hypertension, type angiotensin receptor inhibitors (angiotensin receptor blocker / ARB) such as valsartan, according to Kyoto Heart Research Center can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease
Trigger factors for hypertension can be distinguished which can not be controlled (such as heredity, gender, and age) and that can be controlled (such as obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, and alcohol and salt consumption). Hypertension can be prevented by setting a good diet and enough physical activity.
