As the saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. This holds true for lifestyle diseases such as hypertension. Hypertension is not caused by one specific factor but rather many. While hypertension is typically attributed to a person’s lifestyle, there are definitely genetic and environmental factors that come into play. Because there is no “cure” for hypertension, prevention is the best option. In addition, following these tips can also help lower your risk of other diseases.
In summary, hypertension prevention is important to consider even if you are still relatively young. Do not wait until you start experiencing signs and symptoms of it, as hypertension does not go away on its own.
Preventing hypertension is also a great way to improve your overall health and quality of life. Talk to your doctor if you have concerns or questions regarding your blood pressure or heart health.
