It’s all about routine
Keeping a healthy heart is about routine.
Get in the habit now. Regularly tracking blood pressure and weight together is a brilliant way to discover the impact of your lifestyle on your heart health and understand what makes you tick.
Why BP increases with weight?
When you gain weight, your body produces more tissue and hence a higher volume of blood. Also, the more weight you gain, the stiffer your arteries may become. In order to pump a higher volume of blood throughout less flexible avenues, your heart needs to make a bigger effort, and your blood pressure might end up increasing.
Controlled intervention studies conducted on obese hypertensive patients showed both systolic and diastolic blood pressure fell by about 1 mmHg for every 1kg of weight loss. That’s why those trying to reduce their blood pressure should work towards losing weight.
Know you’re healthy
There’s feeling healthy, then there’s knowing.
Your blood pressure changes all the time and that’s perfectly normal. To see real progress, you need to track results over time and identify what situations make your blood pressure rise, and what’s the impact of your weight on your blood pressure readings.
