Heredity, stress or emotional disturbances, faulty style of living and obesity are some of the most common causative factors.

Watch your weight: Obese people tend to have three times as much hy- pertension as people of normal weight. Even with relatively minor amounts of weight loss, one can see a measurable fall in the blood pressure. Shake the salt habit: The link between sodium and high blood pressure has never been proved beyond doubt. But what is known is that a salt-sensitive sub- set of hypertensives prob- ably exists, and you may be one of them. The safest option for all hypertensive patients is to cut down on salt to about 5 gms a day. Try aerobic exercise: Ex- ercises like running should be initiated only af- ter a physical examination and possibly cardiac eval- uation. It forces the blood vessels to open up, and that makes the blood pres- sure come down. Food habits: Fruits and boiled vegetables are bet- ter than cereals and pulses for the patient.Also, they need to be fresh.
