In one 2009 study, every hour less of average sleep duration per night was associated with a 37 % increase in the
odds of developing hypertension over five years.
An analysis showed that participants consuming less than 250 mg per day of magnesium had a 50 % greater
chance of developing hypertension than had men who consumed 400 mg / day or more.
WARNING: The consumption of this product, which contains alcohol, can increase the risk
of developing hypertension, liver disease, and cancer
Young adults in their twenties who regularly binge drink have higher blood pressure which may increase the risk
of developing hypertension, concludes a study conducted by researchers at the University of Montreal Hospital Research Centre (CRCHUM).
Now researchers have demonstrated, for the first time, that binge drinking may have an effect on blood pressure, which can increase the risk
of developing hypertension and chronic diseases related to hypertension.
What is clear: A poor diet can increase the risk
of developing hypertension, cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes, which in turn can end up compromising an individual's cognitive function.
High blood pressure and heart diseases — Researches that were conducted at Harvard University showed that women with vitamin D deficiency had a 67 percent increased risk
of developing hypertension.
Dr Cassy Richmond explains how simple lifestyle changes can help reduce your risk of developing hypertension
Reducing your risk We can all do something to minimise our risk
of developing hypertension.
Did you know that drinking moderate amounts of alcohol may in fact increase your blood pressure, and binging may increase your risk
of developing hypertension?
Tobacco use can cause temporary increases in blood pressure, and long - term tobacco use also affects your heart and arteries — increasing your risks
of developing hypertension.
Generally, hypothyroid individuals must limit their daily sodium intake to no more than 1500 mg per day in order to decrease the risk
of developing hypertension.
In hypothyroidism intake of large amounts of processed foods increases the risk
of developing hypertension and hypernatremia.
This imbalance can increase your risk
of developing hypertension.
Regularly consuming processed oils increases your risk
of developing hypertension, coronary artery disease and a variety of other ailments.
But they were not linked to diastolic pressure or the risk
of developing hypertension, according to Jan Staessen, MD, PhD, of the University of Leuven in Leuven, Belgium, and colleagues.
A sedentary individual has a 35 - percent greater risk
of developing hypertension than does an athlete.
Using the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study, we systematically and prospectively investigated the relationships of the 3 main components of the type A behavior pattern — hostile attitudes (hostility), time urgency / impatience (TUI), and achievement striving / competitiveness (ASC)-- and 2 other major psychosocial factors, depression and anxiety, with long - term risk
of developing hypertension.
The prospective relationship between psychosocial factors and risk
of developing hypertension may be confounded or mediated by demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral factors.47 In general, younger persons, blacks (except for TUI), women (except for ASC or hostility), and less educated individuals (except for TUI or ASC) reported higher levels of measured psychosocial attributes.
In this cohort of white and black young adults, we found that TUI and hostility assessed during young adulthood were associated in a dose - response manner with a higher risk
of developing hypertension 15 years later.
Beef and other red meat has also been proved to accelerate the levels of bad cholesterol in blood and increasing risk
of developing hypertension, atherosclerosis and consequent death from stroke or cardiac arrest.
