more blood you need to supply
oxygen and nutrients to your tissues
 Not being Physically Active: the
higher your heart rate, the harder
the heart must work
 Smoking: the chemicals can
damage the lining of the artery
walls
 Too much salt in diet: cause body
to retain fluid, increasing BP
 Too little potassium in diet: sodium
can build up in the blood,
increasing pressure
  Excessive Alcohol Drinking: heavy
drinking can damage the heart
 Stress: can lead to temporary
increase in blood pressure
 Certain Chronic Conditions:
conditions such as kidney diseases,
diabetes, and sleep apnea can
increase risk of HBP
