Diet For High Blood Pressure Treatment
Additional fat tissue in the body needs oxygen and nutrients in order to live, which
requires the blood vessels to circulate more blood to the fat tissue. This increases the
workload of the heart because it must pump more blood through additional blood vessels.
More circulating blood also means more pressure on the artery walls. Higher pressure on
the artery walls increases the blood pressure.
In addition, extra weight can raise
the heart rate and reduce the body's ability to transport blood through the vessels.
