Risks of having hypertension.

In Africa, we are made to believe that hypertension occurs when we worry too much but from a personal experience with researches included,I found out that worry is not the leading cause but rather it triggers it if one already has it.
I'll drop about five causes of hypertension.

1. What's your salt intake like? High sodium intake invariably causes high blood pressure so the safe thing to do is to reduce your salt intake plus some spices like maggi.

2. How often do you take in soda (soft drink)?
   I know some of us have sweet tooth and we're tempted to take in soda every day but how healthy is that? It does more harm than good. For one to stay free from HBP (high blood pressure), you have to minimise the way you take soft drinks.

3. Do you sleep well or are you awake all through the night every day?
   We all need sleep. Yes, I know the hustle is real and we've got to make the money and all but don't cheat yourself. You need to stay alive to enjoy the money.

4. How often do you drink water? I used to be someone that take water after I eat and when I'm thirsty but that's wrong. Water should be taken almost every hour. You have to stay hydrated for your body to function properly.

5. How often do you fry your fish,eggs and whatnot? Constant frying does not just help to bring about HBP, but it also leads to high cholesterol in one's body which we all know is harmful. Why not try cooking your fish and see how it goes.

   These few points were written to educate you all on not just how to avoid HBP but on how to stay healthy so you can enjoy the fruits of your labours.
