In the “Seminar on Phytotherapy and circulatory heart”, held in Madrid in May 2000, was defined hypertension (HA) as a value of maximum or systolic pressure of 140-150 over, either minimum or diastolic pressure greater than 90-95. One could speak of hypertension after finding that a person is high on different days and records.

Factors associated with the HA, the Dr. Javier Macaroni referred to the inherited (in offspring of hypertensives is greater average blood pressure), environmental (more common in women aged 40-50 years, the importance of climate and lifestyle, food and labor), cardiovascular (increased vascular reactivity in the form of tachycardia) and renal (relating to the reabsorption of sodium).

Usually distinguishes between the essential or primary hypertension, the cause is unknown, the secondary HA, which may be a cause triggering the hypertensive process (cardiovascular, neurological, endocrine or renal).

The elevation in blood pressure occurs through two mechanisms. One is the increased volume of circulation, increasing systolic blood pressure, or maximum, which are effective substances which decrease the volume (diuretics). Another is that hypertension causes vasoconstriction due to increased peripheral resistance, which increases the diastolic or minimum and effectiveness which are substances that inhibit the sympathetic nervous system (vasodilators).

This type of hypertension suffer 20% of hypertensives and the most important cause of disease or appearance is a health situation that favors development.

Among the risk factors for secondary hypertension are:

• Toxemia in pregnancy, ie the emergence of high pressure in pregnant women with no medical history of hypertension in your family.

• Stress is another factor that can lead to secondary hypertension, as well as workaholism and hyperactivity.

• Self-medication with steroids or oral contraceptives without medical supervision.

• Renal disease and hypothyroidism.

In all these factors we see a common factor as in primary hypertension: a person suffering from diseases that are not treated with a balanced diet and regular physical activity is exposed not only to develop the disease, but they suffer high blood pressure increases the risk of stroke.

Also any type of hypertension involves not only medication and diet restricted in sodium, but a positive attitude by the patient to this condition which is directly related to the nervous condition of the person.

If you’re around 40, you smoke, clouds stress and eat poorly, it’s time to stop the car a bit of your metabolism and begin to think about your diet and your health.

This is the most vulnerable age for the onset of hypertension, ie, the pressure exerted by blood on the walls of arteries. High blood pressure is a risk factor for having a heart attack or stroke, so we must start early to avoid some symptoms.

It is true that some people are predisposed to having high blood pressure or inherited specific physical conditions, but the advance of hypertension can be controlled or prevented (in people without bias) with these simple tips:

• Have the proper weight: avoid high-fat diet and gradually start to eat low-fat products and more fruits and vegetables. Being in the right weight causes the body to make less effort to stand.
• Reducing salt in foods and choose low salt products. Reduce consumption of cured meats, preserves, pickles or reduces the amount eaten per week. Remember that 3 grams of salt is what our body needs.
• Replace salt with garlic, spices and dressings to spice up the dishes or consuming industrial salts that you recommend a nutritionist or doctor.
• Perform daily physical exercise at least 30 minutes a day combined exercise or walk, best if you do a sport like swimming. This is to help maintain your weight and blood circulation.
• Drink alcohol in moderation, the better the wine, which is the noblest spirit: remember no more than 2 drinks per day.
