Weight Influences Blood Pressure If you try to get to a normal blood pressure level, controlling your weight will help considerably. Statistics have shown that about 60% of hypertension cases can be attributed to excess weight, when the body mass index greater than 25. An obese person presents a hypertension risk that is 5 times higher compared to one with normal weight. Additional weight directly influences your heart, it has to work harder to pump blood to the capillaries in the fat structures within the body and you will also get tired more quickly. A low body fat ratio usually indicates normal blood pressure level. There are a few steps to take to get to reach your optimal weight: switch to healthy diet that is low on saturated fats, sugar and salt, control your calories intake and do regular physical exercise. Blood Pressure and Diet As detailed earlier, the blood pressure level is directly influenced by your weight; in turn your weight is affected by your diet. Some foods are known to have a positive impact on reducing blood pressure. Simply using less salt will help a lot with getting to a normal blood pressure level. Soybeans, spinach, bananas are great diet choices also. Instead of fat milk you should try with skim milk. It might seem surprising but studies concluded that spicy seasonings lead to a lower blood clotting possibility and they induce a higher metabolism making you body burn fat. Dark chocolate, eaten in rational amount – less than half an ounce a day, helps in getting down to a normal blood pressure level.
