There are three main reasons for hypertension...

- genetic reasons

-dietary reasons

- reasons relating to emotional tension and stress

Among the three, the most harmful is the third cause, emotional tension.

Genetic Causes:

These factors play an important role in the cause of primary hypertension.

Currently, researchers and scientists do not know for sure which genes are actually responsible for the development of hypertension.

The unique characteristics of each one of us are determined by our genes and chromosome's production of proteins.

Only reasons affecting the renin-angiotensin-andosterone system have been researched on. This system is the one responsible for helping the body regulate its blood pressure, basically by controlling the balance of salt, and the state of elasticity within the arteries.

More than 30% of all cases involving primary hypertension can be credited to genetic factors.

What this means is that despite a healthy nutrition and fitness plan, those with the high blood pressure genes in their system already may still have to deal with the disease. (This can however been dealt with. I'll explain how later in this article.)

For example, it seems that high blood pressure or hypertension is most rampant for people of African heritage in the the United States.

Asian Americans seem to have the lowest cases of hypertension. Also, those born to parents with hypertension have the most probability to also develop the condition.

It is rare for unusual genetic disorders to have anything to do with primary hypertension, as these cases typically identify secondary hypertension instead.

Dietary Reasons:

There are a number of dietary factors that can lead to the development of hypertension, including drinking too much alcohol, consuming too much caffeine, and eating the wrong things.

If you are overweight, it can have a large influence on whether or not you will develop hypertension, especially when you already have the genes that cause the disease.

Regardless of whether you are overweight or not, eating the wrong foods can cause a steep increase in your blood pressure.

Foods that are rich in cholesterol, Tran saturated fats and an excess of salt are good examples of these bad foods.

Being overweight is one of the largest "environmental" causes for hypertension.

Drinking too much caffeine or too much coffee can also lead to issues stemming from hypertension development if you do not seriously limit the intake of these beverages. In moderation, both are okay.

Emotional Tension and Stress:

If you take on too much more than you can handle at home, or at work, or with social obligations, you may find yourself with a lot of unnecessary stress.

This stress will stick with you a lot longer than you realize, and can cause many health problems including hypertension.

Worrying too much is another cause for hypertension, as anxiety generally leads to a spike in the blood pressure.

If you make worrying a habit, or stress yourself out too much, you can cause chronic hypertension.

Emotional tension and stress is the more prevalent contributing factor for hypertension, and even if there are no hereditary or dietary causes, you can still develop chronic problems with hypertension simply because of your level of emotional tension and stress.

My natural blood pressure exercise program has three exercises that not only eliminates the emotional tension and stress related causes of hypertension, but also removes the dietary and hereditary related hypertension causes as well.
