What is The Causes of High Blood Pressure(HBP)

High Blood Pressure Causes

In 90% of people with hypertension, the cause of high blood pressure is not known and is referred to as primary or essential hypertension. While the specific cause is unknown, there are risk factors that can contribute to developing high blood pressure.

Factors that can not be changed

Age:

The older a person is, the greater the likelihood that he or she will develop high blood pressure, especially elevated systolic readings. This is largely due to arteriosclerosis, or “hardening of the arteries.

Race:

African Americans develop high blood pressure more often than Caucasians. They develop high blood pressure at a younger age and develop more severe complications sooner in life.

Socioeconomic status:

High blood pressure is found more commonly among the less educated and lower socioeconomic groups. Residents of the southeastern United States, both Caucasian and African American, are more likely to have high blood pressure than residents of other regions.

Family history (heredity):

The tendency to have high blood pressure appears to run in families.

Gender:

Generally men have a greater likelihood of developing high blood pressure than women. This likelihood varies according to age and among various ethnic groups.

Factors that can be changed

Obesity:

As body weight increases, the blood pressure rises. Obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30 kg/m². A BMI of 25-30 kg/m² is considered overweight (BMI=weight in pounds x 703/ height in inches ²) Being overweight increases the risk of high blood pressure. Health care practitioners recommend that all obese people with high blood pressure lose weight until they are within 15% of their healthy body weight.

    * Obese people are two to six times more likely to develop high blood pressure than people whose weight is within a healthy range.

    * Not only the degree of obesity is important, but also the manner in which the body accumulates extra fat. Some people gain weight around their belly (central obesity or “apple-shaped” people), while others store fat around their hips and thighs (“pear-shaped” people). “Apple-shaped” people tend to have greater health risks for high blood pressure than “pear-shaped” people.

Sodium (salt) sensitivity:

Some people have high sensitivity to sodium (salt), and their blood pressure increases if they use salt. Reducing sodium intake tends to lower their blood pressure. Americans consume 10-15 times more sodium than they need. Fast foods and processed foods contain particularly high amounts of sodium. Many over-the-counter medicines also contain large amounts of sodium.

Read food labels and learn about salt content in foods and other products as a healthy first step to reducing salt intake. Fast food restaurants also make the salt and calorie content of their food available to consumers at their restaurants,

Alcohol use:

Drinking more than one to two drinks of alcohol per day tends to raise blood pressure in those who are sensitive to alcohol.

Birth control pills (oral contraceptive use):

Some women who take birth control pills develop high blood pressure.

Lack of exercise (physical inactivity):

A sedentary lifestyle contributes to the development of obesity and high blood pressure.

Medications:

Certain drugs, such as amphetamines (stimulants), diet pills, and some medications used for cold and allergy symptoms such as pseudoephedrine, tend to raise blood pressure.

A Trip to Saidpur Village, Islamabad - Pakistan

A Trip to Saidpur Village, Islamabad - Pakistan


One such village is Saidpur, situated just off the Margalla Road, hardly a 5 five minutes drive from the upscale neighborhoods of Islamabad. I knew Saidpur only as a place one ordered garden-manure from. You didn’t have to go there. You just called the guy on his cell phone and he would have a Suzuki-full of manure delivered at your doorstep – literally, sometime.

A newly built adobe gate welcomes you to the village. Actually, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) is developing Saidpur into a tourist attraction, and is spending a lot of money (nearly 400 million rupees) and efforts on resurrecting the old village and giving it a quaint look.

















Solution to Get Rid of Red Irritated Skin

Solution to Get Rid of Red Irritated Skin

 Having red skin can be embarrassing for anyone, but there is hope. There is a cure for this skin disorder, and skin redness treatment is one of the easiest you can use on the market. Those who suffer from it often think the best red skin treatment is to cover it with foundation or other makeup. While this can be an effective way to cure it, however, it doesn’t treat well and does not offer a long term cure either.

Step 1:

Do you have any friends or family with a similar problem? Ask them what has worked in their cases and give those methods a try. If you are still red in the face, read on.

Step 2:

Give yourself exposure to sunlight and water. It has been shown that about 80 percent of people who enjoy daily sunlight see improvement in their complexion. Water is also known to clear up complexions if consumed in large amounts.

Step 3:

Try balneotherapy, a water-based treatment used in Europe and Asia that uses natural thermal springs, hot springs, mineral water and sea water. This technique is generally used at spas.

Step 4:

Climatotherapy is another technique that can improve your skin. This a combination of sunlight and water, like the ocean or other water bodies, used to treat psoriasis. It uses natural elements to help with the problem.

Step 5:

Other possible treatments can include acupuncture, herbal remedies, prayer and meditation, although they are not scientifically proven to work.

Tips & Warnings

Make sure to consult a skincare professional if your red, irritated skin condition persists for more than a few weeks.

Don’t use harsh scrubs, facial peels or microdermabrasion treatments–these will only make the problem of red, irritated skin worse.Don’t go in to get a facial or give yourself an at-home facial as it will increase the amount of irritation in your skin.
