Habits That Can Increase Blood Pressure Levels in Your 30s

THIỆN NHÂN (THEO onlymyhealth) |

In your 30s, poor eating habits, lack of exercise and stress can gradually increase blood pressure, negatively affecting heart health.

According to Dr. DK Jhamb, Director and Head, Department of Interventional Cardiology, SHALBY Sanar International Hospital, Gurugram (India), habits and lifestyle at the age of 30 can have a strong impact on blood pressure levels and cardiovascular health. Some unhealthy living habits can increase blood pressure, leading to the risk of serious cardiovascular diseases later in life.

Lack of exercise and obesity

A sedentary lifestyle is a major cause of high blood pressure. Prolonged sitting or lack of physical activity leads to overweight and obesity, which increases blood volume and vascular resistance, causing high blood pressure. Exercises such as running, swimming, or HIIT help improve blood circulation and control blood pressure.

Unhealthy diet

Consuming processed foods, high in salt, sugar, and saturated fat increases blood pressure. Lack of potassium (found in fruits and vegetables) and eating too much trans fat also make it difficult to control blood pressure.

Stress and lack of sleep

Chronic stress and poor sleep increase blood pressure. Stress produces hormones that cause vasoconstriction, which temporarily increases blood pressure. Chronic sleep deprivation is also a risk factor for high blood pressure, especially for night shift workers.

Smoking and drinking too much

Smoking raises blood pressure and narrows blood vessels, making the heart work harder. Drinking too much alcohol also raises blood pressure, causes weight gain, and affects sleep quality.

Feelings of loneliness and lack of social connection

Feeling lonely and lacking social connection can increase stress and blood pressure. Social relationships help reduce stress, while loneliness increases blood pressure.

How to Control Blood Pressure in Your 30s

To effectively control blood pressure, you can make the following positive lifestyle changes, emphasizes Dr. DK Jhamb:

Exercise regularly: Moderate-intensity exercise such as walking, jogging, swimming or cycling for at least 150 minutes a week helps lower blood pressure and improve heart health.

Eat a balanced diet: Limit salt, sugar, saturated fat and processed foods. Instead, eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy protein sources such as fish, beans and nuts.

Stress management: Meditation, yoga, and deep breathing exercises help reduce stress, which in turn lowers blood pressure. Take time to relax to maintain mental health.

Get enough sleep: Sleep 7-8 hours every night to help your body recover and maintain cardiovascular health.

Quit smoking and limit alcohol: If you smoke, find a way to quit. If you drink alcohol, drink only in moderation (1 drink/day for women, 2 drinks/day for men).

Regular health check-ups: Check your blood pressure regularly to detect and control blood pressure promptly.

These changes not only lower blood pressure, but also improve overall health and prevent heart disease.
