LIFESTYLE AND HYPERTENSION
SMOKING
• Smoking is one of the causes of Hypertension here in our
country. The cigarettes' nicotine speeds up blood pressure in
our body.
• When someone intakes a cigarette smoke, their body lost a
lot of oxygen needing the heart to pump back a lot of
deoxygenated blood into the heart and back to the body.
UNHEALTHY DIET
• We Filipinos love oily, salty, and fatty foods as it is
part of our country's cuisine. Too much intake of those
foods can lead to Hypertension.
• Canned foods and instant foods with excessive salt
and monosodium (corned beef, meatloaf, instant
noodles, hotdogs, etc.) that we usually eat because of
it's portablity and how convenient it is can turn that
convenience into something we suffer to like
Hypertension.
• Alcohol, that is common in Filipino celebrations and
events can also result to Hypertension if intake is not
controlled.
STRESS
• Us Filipinos usually suffers stress from works that later
causes Hypertension.
• One's body that suffers from stress produces
hormones that makes the heart pump faster, therefore
increasing the blood pressure in their body.
LACK OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
• Since many Filipinos have loads of works, they have no
time to excercise.
• Excercise may cause the blood pressure to rise for a
short term but it makes one's heart stronger. Stronger
heart needs less work or pressure to pump blood,
lowering their blood pressures.
• One must have a doctor's signal first before doing
excersice. The doctor may want you to take medical
methods first (taking medicines and such) before doing
excercises. as it may cause one's blood pressure to get
worse.
HOW IT IS TACKLED

types of programs that helps promote prevention of
Hypertension and on how to treat it.

fellow citizens with Hypertension and help them.

balanced diet made by DOH. It shows what
may be in our daily meals in order to obtain
