Dr. Carlos Jaramillo: The drastic increase in high blood pressure in the world, contrary to what used to be thought, hypertension is no longer exclusive to older people, as even young people and teenagers are developing this condition due to unhealthy habits and a sedentary lifestyle. Although there are various organic causes that can produce high blood pressure, such as excess adrenaline or cortisol produced by the adrenal gland, most current cases are due to unhealthy habits acquired since childhood, such as lack of physical activity and a poor diet. Dr. Jaramillo raises the idea that sugar may also play an important role in the development of high blood pressure, in addition to salt, a topic that usually takes up all the attention. Although excessive sodium consumption is a common cause of hypertension, Dr. Jaramillo points out that it is not the only cause. He also points out that excessive sugar consumption can also cause hypertension and that, therefore, it is a factor to take into account in the prevention of this disease. Dr. Jaramillo emphasizes the importance of maintaining arterial health and preventing arteries from becoming stiff and losing their ability to be flexible. Arteries become stiff due to chronic inflammation, which can be caused by poor diet, lack of physical activity, and other unhealthy habits. High blood pressure develops slowly and is something that is built over time, like saving for a pension. Therefore, it is important to take preventative measures to prevent hypertension from developing at an early age. Do We Need to Eat Less Salt? Or Just the Opposite? Although excess sodium can contribute to the development of hypertension, Dr. Jaramillo points out that it is not necessary to completely eliminate salt from the diet, but it is important to find a balance and consume it in moderate amounts. In addition, he recommends the consumption of foods rich in potassium, such as fruits and vegetables, to help balance sodium levels in the body. - Please share if you like. - ????BECOME AN EXCLUSIVE MEMBER AND ENJOY UNIQUE BENEFITS????: / @drcarlosjaramillo - BUY MY BOOKS AND SUPPLEMENTS HERE: https://shop.medicinafuncional.co/ - MY RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS ON AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/shop/drcarlosj... - PRODUCTS ON AMAZON: https://bit.ly/ProductosAmazonCJ - COURSES AND WORKSHOPS: https://cursos.anialife.com/ - LEARN ABOUT THE BEST PROTEINS AND SUPPLEMENTS IN SAVVY: https://bit.ly/2ML3khs - SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL IN ENGLISH: / @drcarlos - Dr. Carlos Jaramillo and the Institute of Functional Medicine seek to ensure that you always have good habits and, above all, clarity about how daily decisions They cause a large part of the diseases that humanity suffers today.
