I'm Overweight, Do I Need To Lose Weight To Lower My High BP? by BPdoc: 11:59pm On Mar 03 |
Your weight can determine how healthy you are or will be A person that is used to consuming fatty foods might have to deal with cardiovascular health issue later on Why is that? Because accumulation of too much fat and excessive cholesterol in the body can cause the accumulation of fatty deposits within the artery walls, common known as plaque This accumulation can lead to a condition known as "atherosclerosis" Atherosclerosis hence is one of the potential factors that causes hypertension Because it causes hardening and narrowing of the blood vessels, This causes resistance to blood flow hence raising blood pressure So, is weight loss significant to reversing High BP? Of course Yes This will prevent the excess cholesterol from accumulating around vital organs and in the vessels And hence prevent resistance to blood flow But the truth is that, most Nigerians don't even know their Body Mass Index i.e BMI It is very important to know your BMI to know BMI= Weight (Kg)/Height (m²) Use the formula above to calculate your BMI After that, use the chart below to know whether your weight and height are within healthy proportion If they are not, then you're either overweight or obese
