114.681 -> But what are the causes of high blood pressure?
117.684 -> Well, high blood pressure tends to develop
gradually over many years.
121.821 -> The risk of high blood pressure increases as you age.
125.024 -> Our blood vessels naturally thicken and stiffen over time.

140.206 -> let’s say, dramatically.
142.609 -> For instance, if you’re overweight or obese.
145.578 -> The more you weigh, the more blood you need to supply oxygen
148.648 -> and nutrients to your tissues.
150.617 -> As the amount of blood flow through your blood vessels increases,
153.853 -> so does the pressure on your artery walls.
156.523 -> Another cause that is closely connected with being overweight
159.425 -> is the lack of physical activity.
161.528 -> People who are inactive tend to have higher heart rates.
164.597 -> The higher your heart rate, the harder your heart must work
167.667 -> with each contraction and the stronger the force on your arteries.
171.371 -> Another key factor for high blood pressure: high levels of stress.
176.109 -> If you constantly confront stressful situations in your life,
179.679 -> it can lead to a temporary increase in blood pressure.
182.782 -> Stress-related habits such as eating more, using tobacco,
185.952 -> or drinking alcohol can lead to further increases in blood pressure.
