Question

Explain "high blood pressure is caused by lack of excercise and excess of weight".

Answer 1

Lack of exercise and more consumption of fat rich diet cause formation of fat tissues in our body and increases our body mass (excessive weight). These fat tissues require supply of blood in order to obtain nutrition and removes wastes.In order to supply blood via blood vessels in these fat tissues, heart needs to pump more blood that increases work load over heart. This increasing work load over heart develops pressure in the blood vessels. thus, it cause high blood pressure.
